Comparative law notes

Germany

This German concept of Altersversorgung is comprehensive and encompasses different types of provisions for old-age, disability and survivors' provisions. Obviously, every country's system of pensions will have its own distinguishing features, but the general idea that a reserve exists to take care of those who are in need late in life is identical.
