Merz’s coalition must persuade younger generations to surrender more of their free time to support Europe’s largest economy
The coalition between Merz’s centre-right Christian Democratic Union and the Social Democrats have, in their treaty which defines the political agenda until the next election, committed to incentives to persuade Germans to increase their working hours, and to delay retirement.
I know, but is there a neat translation that only has one or two words?
Semantically, American “middle class” is closest to German “Mittelschicht”.
Yeah, but Merz is specifically known for calling himself “Mittelstand” (and AFAIK he is not a business owner).
No, it was “obere Mittelschicht”/“upper middle class”.
