A second rationale for Germany’s policy is demographic. Budget limitation appeals not just to the old, but is especially attractive to young people, who worry that they will be made to pay the costs of caring for an increasingly elderly and dependent population.
德国政策的第二个原因是人口结构。节制预算不仅受到老年公民的赞同，也深深地吸引着年轻人，德国的人口日益老龄化，越来越多的人到了领取养老金的年龄，年轻人生怕自己不得不为这些人埋单。
