The survey indicates that a surprisingly high majority is in favor of the 13th AHV / AVS pension (which will be voted on).
It however also seems to indicate a lack of trust in the longevity/solidity of the pension system.
Many young people seem to be quite skeptical – probably because they think that it will just be worse for them in a couple of decades if we now spend additional money. The older people seem to hope that the collapse is scheduled for after their demise, so they gladly take additional pension money as long as it’s there.
Also interesting: more than two thirds of the SVP voters want the money, despite their party being against it.
And I bet these same kids will vote for proper UBI when the robots take their jobs.
not surprising.
as a 30 year old i have long given up on any hope that my generation will ever get any pension money.
meanwhile the old people cry about the young people being entitled, while leaving us with a dying earth, a fucked up housing market and a hostile political atmosphere.
thanks GenX and boomers.
Adding a 13th month to the AHV will just mean increasing VAT again in a few years, when the AHV runs out of money. Left pocket to right pocket. The money doesn’t magically appear from somewhere.
I’m in favour of a decent and sustainable social system. This isn’t the way.
