[Effects of the survivor and dependent children law on social security of widows and widowers and distribution of pensions].
The article takes up the discussion about the individual social security of spouses in Germany and describes some effects of German legislation which went into effect in 1986 and regulates the social security of surviving dependents and requires declaration of child-care provision by pensioners (the so-called "Hinterbliebenen- und Erziehungszeitengesetz"). The primary question is, what effect the most current family income has on the individual replacement rate for widows and widowers. What additional information is needed to record the distributional effects of the act is also discussed.
