2018-10-10 | German Social Security & Pension System
How is the social security system organized in Germany? How does the German pension system work and how are the public pension benefits calculated? These and many other questions will be answered during the event.
The German social security system consists of five components which are: pension-, health-, accident-, nursing care- and unemployment insurance. As a statutory security system it provides a very good and efficient security against different risks. In addition it provides high standards and quality of living as well as ensures the pension benefits.

During the event an expert from the “Deutsche Rentenversicherung Rheinland“ will introduce the German pension system, followed by the presentation of a manager from KPMG, which is one of the leading consulting companies worldwide.
