Survey: High willingness to make personal cutbacks for reforms
There is a great need for reform in Germany, and everyone agrees on that. But what about the population's willingness to make sacrifices? A survey provides information.
A survey of 5,000 adults in Germany found that 41% would accept short-term personal sacrifices for sustainable social reforms. The willingness to make temporary sacrifices is highest among 30-39 year olds at 56%, followed by 46% of 18-29 year olds, and lowest among 40-49 year olds at 24%. A large majority, 83%, believe the country needs comprehensive reforms to secure its social security systems for the future.
The top demands of the respondents include less bureaucracy, more efficient use of state funds, and sustainable social systems, with 44%, 36%, and 35% respectively citing these as important.
