    Paritätischer Gesamtverband Reports Proposed Cuts to Disability and Youth Services

    The Paritätischer Gesamtverband has announced 70 proposed cuts totaling at least €8.6 billion affecting disability and youth services.

    Proposals include the elimination of individual legal entitlements to school assistance, restrictions on the choice rights of individuals with disabilities, and the discontinuation of post-care support for young adults transitioning from youth services. Rock, the association’s managing director, criticized these measures as a significant threat to hard-won social participation rights, framed under the guise of ‘efficient resource utilization.’ This information was broadcast on Deutschlandfunk on April 16, 2026.
