- Major gaps remain in the world’s third richest country between the amount of social security support received and the poverty risk threshold.
- The parties in coalition talks should prioritize strengthening social security protections and addressing longstanding structural barriers to gender equality.

Weird title.
Major gaps remain in the world’s third richest country between the amount of social security support received and the poverty risk threshold.
Germany is emphatically not the world's third-richest country. Germany has Europe's second biggest population after Russia, but its per capita income and assets are not "world's third rich". Absolute number are maybe important for wars (including cold war, trade war etc.) but they're not at all useful for fighting poverty.
