Meinhard Miegel, director of the Bonn-based think tank Denkwerk Zukunft, analyzing a mass of survey data finds that while two thirds of Germans favor economic growth in principle, only about a sixth of them are willing to work for it. The rest value leisure, safety and early retirement over work and achievement. Given these attitudes the popular idea that a low-birthrate country like Germany can grow its way out of the rising costs associated with an aging population 'is reckless and built on sand.'
