  "account": "Werding, a member of the Expert Council, expressed satisfaction with the recent changes to private pension savings. The council had previously advocated for the private pension system to be simpler, more return-oriented, and cost-effective. With these recent steps, Werding believes it is all good. The pension fund is voluntary, but the council also emphasized that capital-covered savings should become more binding, preferably with an opt-out option to include those who are undecided. In particular, there are many who urgently need an additional pension. Therefore, they would have preferred a model similar to Sweden's, where money flows automatically into an equity-based pension. The people there only have to decide whether they want to save with the state product or that of a private provider. When it is automatic, the hurdle to unsubscribe is high, as proven by behavioral research and practice. In Sweden, participation is mandatory, and this model has been recommended by the Ageing Security Commission.",
