The article draws the reader’s attention to the category of intergenerational justice, that is justice concentrated on the space between two points that are distant from each other, and asks the question about how social relations improved during the life-time of one generation and how they deteriorated in the life-time of another; as well as one if one generation may burden another one that follows it with its own charges, in this way setting itself free of them. In a long-term perspective intergenerational justice is the main ethical challenge that concerns not only German and Polish demography, but practically that of all the European Union countries. In the worldwide scale especially the problem of ecology is significant, as well as the problem of dealing with natural resources. Since in the political process future generations do not yet have the right to make decisions, there is a threat that their interests will be neglected, and the present generation will make profits at the cost of the future ones. This is why drawing everybody’s attention to so important ethical issues is one of the Church’s significant tasks.

The article discusses the consequences of birth decline in Germany and other European countries especially for the old-age pension system. Income of old people has to be part of the national income of the same period so that it could be gained through taxes from the active working population. Capital building outside the national borders only can bring little help but it is connected with many risks. The political implication of longer living population and birth decline is that the majority of voters are older than 60 years. But there is no fear of government of the aging people because the interests of old people are heterogeneous.

Durch sinkende Geburtenzahlen und eine steigende Lebenserwartung gerade die Alterssicherungssysteme in Deutschland wie in Polen in finanzielle Schwierigkeiten. Die Probleme sind aber lösbar, wenn die Lebensarbeitszeit verlängert wird, mehr Personen im Erwerbsalter (z. B. Arbeitslose, Frauen) einer Beschäftigung nachgehen und es eine gewisse Zuwanderung von qualifizierten Erwerbspersonen aus dem Ausland gibt. Da die Interessen der älteren Generation heterogen sind, werden notwendige Reformen nicht durch eine Dominanz der Wähler im Rentenalter verhindert.
