BERLIN – Germany wants to get older people and people on social benefits back to work, Finance Minister Christian Lindner has said, given the shortage of skilled workers. There should be incentives for this.

“In view of the shortage of skilled workers, efforts are needed to prepare more people for the job sectors. Even if they get a job, many do not want it and live on social benefits. People should be encouraged to live by doing at least small jobs

Retirement at 63 should change. Why not put incentives in place to make people want to work longer? Instead of giving pension to those who reach the age of 63, other schemes should be devised. “- Finance Minister said.
