Krankenkassen-Prämien stellen vor allem für Familien einen grossen Ausgabenpunkt dar. Mit den Möglichkeiten einer Prämienverbilligung werden soziale Ungleichheiten, welche die Chancengleichheit der nächsten Generation beeinflussen, etwa ausgeglichen. Darin sehe ich eine wichtig staatliche Aufgabe.

Der Mindestumwandlungssatz wurde bereits früher gekürzt. Dies stellt einen regulatorischen Eingriff in ein Sparobligatorium dar, dem Angestellte unterliegen und auf das sie keinerlei Einfluss nehmen können.

Nur soweit die Menschenrechte dort auch wirklich garantiert umgesetzt werden, was aber nicht in allen Fällen und nur mit grossem Aufwand machbar ist. Die theoretische Idee besticht, doch die Realität zeigt etwas anderes.

Die Heiratsstrafe ist ein Alter Zopf, welchem ein veraltetes Geschlechtsrollenbild zugrunde liegt, das den heutigen gesellschaftlichen Realitäten überhaupt nicht mehr entspricht. Falls dies weiter länger nicht umgesetzt wird, wird wohl die Ehe ein immer weniger attraktives Modell darstellen.

Ich befürworte vor allem Möglichkeiten des flexibilisierten Übergangs, der auch den individuellen Unterschieden Rechnung trägt und unabhängig vom Zivilstand ist. Personen in qualifizierten Berufen mit guter sozialer Stellung fällt es in der Regel leichter, länger im Arbeitsprozess tätig zu sein - sie haben ihn oft auch später begonnen. Wer aber von den Folgen der Arbeit stark gezeichnet ist - psychisch, physisch oder sozial- soll jedoch beim Regel-AHV-Rentenalter bleiben können.
