Mothers' pension III: A step towards justice or expensive illusion?

Mothers' pension III: A step towards justice or expensive illusion?

Donau-Ries, Deutschland - On July 8, 2025, the mother's pension is again the focus of political discussions. The introduction of a new model, called Mothers' pension III, is planned by Markus Söder and the CSU. This project is intended to offer mothers who born children before 1992 improved recognition of their educational services. The mother's pension for millions of women is already available as a sign of appreciation for their educational work, but a lot of criticism spreads. Donau-Ries currently notes that the mother's pension only applies to children who were born after 1992. Experts appreciate the costs for the switch to mothers' pension III could increase to up to 5 billion euros annually.

Criticism came from Gundula Roßbach, the President of the German Rent Insurance (DRV). She described the mother's pension as a "expensive redistribution". Roßbach warns of the financial burdens that could come to the contributors if the additional funding is not financed by taxes. Marcel Fratzscher, a renowned economist, also notes that the mother's pension is not a long -term solution and instead demands extensive reforms to equality in the pension system.

bureaucracy and inheritance tax

in parallel to the discussion about the pensions, there is also an outcry on the current bureaucracy: previously regarded as a strength, it is now perceived as a burden. Söder demands more confidence in the citizen and a simplification of the processes. Less bureaucracy should create more freedom, and at the same time there are considerations for the reform of inheritance tax. Söder emphasizes the importance of medium -sized businesses and criticizes the punishment of heirs whose parents have worked for a lifetime.

Bayern's technological role

A completely different, but no less important aspect, is the role of Bavaria than a technology location. Here the technology is seen as one of the strongest weapons in international comparison. Bavaria is a leader in aerospace in Europe and Söder emphasizes that the future of the industry should rely on transformation instead of subsidies for leaking products. The goal is clear: Bavaria should be at the top of the technology.

The mother's pension remains a hot topic and shows how important a fair and just recognition of educational services is. Social associations support the project, while an effective financing concept is required to master the challenges of pension insurance in the long term. The German Family Association even calls for the expansion of the mother's pension to ensure pension claims for the upbringing of three children over the age of 18. A desired concept would provide for a fee for every child and year.

How the developments related to the mother's pension and the topics that go beyond will continue to be exciting. The citizens of Bavaria are called to participate in this discussion, because here not only personal concerns are at stake, but also the future social security of the next generations.
