Germany is set to launch a new initiative called the early start pension (Frühstart-Rente) aimed at encouraging schoolchildren to save for retirement. Starting in 2026, every child in school from age six will receive €10 monthly into a retirement account maintained by the state. This opportunity is designed to engage children with financial growth and asset building early on. Payments will continue until age 18, with the potential for voluntary contributions thereafter, fostering a culture of saving for the future among the younger population.
The federal government aims to encourage school children in Germany to think about saving for retirement from an early age through an early start pension initiative.
The basic idea is that every schoolchild in Germany, from the age of six, gets a retirement provision account with monthly contributions from the state.
