“…The German pension system consists of three pillars: The statutory pension insurance (GRV), occupational pensions, and private pensions. The GRV as the first pillar represents the most important element with respect to the number of insured persons (37.6 million contributors, 16.9 million recipients of benefit) 3 and the share of overall old-age income (75% of gross retirement income) 4 . The public pension insurance is built as a payas-you-go (PAYG) system and, contrary to the other two pillars, it is a compulsory insurance for dependent employees while being non-mandatory for civil servants and self-employed.…”

“…We can differentiate between internal and external factors here. Alongside changes in pensions levels (internal), individual employment histories and the resulting pension entitlements (external factor) are decisive for older people's future income situation [3]. Working lives and career paths determine individual pension levels and company pension entitlements to a great extent.…”

Purpose Many elderly people are affected by poverty. Furthermore, old-age poverty is likely to increase in the future. However, the everyday travel behaviour of disadvantaged elderly people is not a focus of German transport research. Against this background, the aim of this paper is to examine the everyday travel of older people (65+) at risk of poverty using the example of Germany. Methods The empirical analysis is based on the country-wide survey BMobility in Germany 2008^. A logistic regression has been undertaken alongside descriptive statistical analyses. Results The analysis shows that elderly people at risk of poverty are less mobile, are restricted in their access to transport, make significantly fewer trips and cover less distance daily than the group with above-average income. Furthermore, the trips of disadvantaged older women in low-status residential areas are rather concentrated on the local residential environment. Conclusions The travel behaviour of elderly people is different depending on their income and gender. Disadvantaged older women in particular are characterised by limited mobility options and restricted everyday travel, which is concentrated to the local area even in deprived neighbourhoods. Further research has to examine if these restrictions lead to unsatisfied daily needs and could threaten the social participation of this growing group.
