Defined contribution schemes

Article Abstract:

A growing number of German companies are replacing their defined benefit schemes with defined contribution programs to provide their employees with more postemployment benefits. Such programs allow employers to avoid progressive pension increases towards the end of an employee's career by linking the annual expenses more closely to the development of cash compensation. However, the tax regulations on book reserve calculations should also be reformed to further enhance the effectiveness of the defined contribution concept.
