Die Bewältigung des demografischen Wandels in der Alterssicherung im deutsch-italienischen Rechtsvergleich

The German and the Italian systems of retirement plans are currently facing the same challenge, prompted by a similar demographic shift. This shift and the different approaches of the constitutional courts of both countries to this issue are discussed, with a particular focus on a comparative social law analysis based on statutory law. The so-called "reforms" of the last three decades and the history of social law in the interwar period show that a demographic balance of old-age social insurance within the system, as well as a careful consideration of its three-generational character, are necessary.
