Nowadays, the mainland is gradually aging, the rural elderly account for the majority, and the problem of rural pension has also attracted the attention of society and the country. Although older persons in rural areas have worked hard all their lives and made a huge contribution to the national food supply, they do not receive the same pension as urban people. In order to solve the problem of rural pension, the state has also introduced many policies, but the current pension insurance subsidies still cannot solve the problem of rural pension. Experts put forward three opinions on whether the elderly in rural areas should have pensions. What do you think of this?
First, the state should pay pensions to the elderly in rural areas. Farmers have no land ownership, only the right to use, after all, they are still working. In the past, farmers paid a lot of effort for the construction of the country, such as building roads, building canals, supplying water, supplying electricity, and building various public facilities, all of which were free laborers.
Second, before the abolition of the public food payment policy, rural residents needed to pay for public food for agriculture, which provided food and drink for the cities and supported the country's industrialization. Most of these people who pay for public food are elderly, and they have paid for public food for half a lifetime, which can be said to be a contribution. It is reasonable to pay them public food that was previously paid as a pension.
Third, the elderly over 60 years old in rural areas can enjoy special care of the state, without endowment insurance, with an average of 75 yuan per month. Although the basic endowment insurance can be received free of charge, it is still impossible to solve the problem of old-age care by relying on these alone. The requirements of the elderly in rural areas are not high, and 500 yuan per month is enough for them to live.
Some experts pointed out that the state should subsidize 50% of the old-age expenditure of the rural elderly, and the rest should be supplemented by the provincial government and the municipal government, so as to effectively reduce the living burden of the rural elderly and let the peasants live a guaranteed, secure, happy and secure old age.
