The Federal Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs has published its report on old-age income in Germany (ASID 2023) online. The report, which was prepared for the first time by the survey specialist infas in cooperation with FiFo Köln, mark an important steps forward: Among other things, the survey was gender-balanced throughout for the first time. With the help of a tailor-made tax microsimulation model, FiFo project manager Eva Gerhards also ensured that apples are no longer being compared with oranges: all types of income are now reported as net income. This creates a reliable data basis for further research.
