THE PROTEST AGAINST THE PENSION AGE REDUCTION.

Thousands of citizens demonstrated in various States of Germany against the reduction of the pension age to 63 and 67 for the employment that required physical strength and for the white colar employment respectively, despite the fact that in the previous years there had been a generalized request, or rather demand for the increase in paid annual vacation period for the workers in Germany.
The German system objected the request of its citizens for the increase in paid annual vacation with the reason that it will decrease the recognized efficiency of the German workers, but offered alternatives for re-employment for the elderly in certain fields which entailed the education field such as tutors for either the young, or the elderly for those who may still be able to do so.
