Die SVP will die Einwanderung stoppen, um die Bevölkerungszahl auf 10 Millionen zu begrenzen. Da dies jedoch zu einem Mangel an Arbeitskräften für die AHV führen würde, schlägt ein Parteimitglied nun vor, das Rentenalter anzuheben, um das System zu retten.

Trairors to the People of Switzerland.

Shooting themselves in their own foot, on purpose.

Raising the retirement age should only apply to those who vote in favour of this ridiculous population cap

Since the AHV percentage workers pay has to be raised every now and then anyway, this isnt something that only the SVP with their 10 mil plan would do, it ll happen eventually anyway.

The bigger question i would have is that with the cap in place and less migrants coming in that cause pur social/medical system to be overwhelmed, shouldnt it be viable to use the money we d save on that for AHV. Instead of raising the retirement age? Or are our taxes and health insurance just gonna go down?

everything to be xenophobic

So tired of this nonsense. 
The system will fail eventually. It was built for continuous growth. Even with Immigration and later retirment age it will fail eventually just a bit later. Most western countries have this problem and yet no political party is seriously discussing any solution but just want it delayed until they can retire. 
I dont even expect any pension at this point by the time i will retire. 

The 10 million initiative is one thing and I don’t think it is a good solution.

We statistically also live longer than ever before and are also healthier than before and we rely on a system that redistributes from young to old.

The system counts on constantly importing young contributors that pay into the system and hopes they don’t stay here in their retirement. That’s also not sustainable.

So given that there are many people who can look at a retirement that will be almost as long as their working life, in good health – don’t think it is wrong to have a discussion about what is retirement and how should it look like?

Our jobmarket suffers already massively from ageism (45+!) and there are many that could and also want to contribute that haven’t reached even the current retirement age. Many retired people choose or would like to work because it gives them purpose.

And at the same time there are people who have worked in hard physical jobs who simply cannot work longer. So a modern retirement system should be able to accommodate these aspects without relying on the constant import of people.

Right now employers have the unfortunate privilege that it is very easy to import „the perfect“ young and cheap candidate instead of investing in an older local candidate or a woman. No, the 10 mio initiative is probably not the right way to solve this, but it would be good to rethink retirement and a higher or maybe better, a more individual retirement age could be a part of this.

So the Friedrich Merz methode.
