Somewhere I've heard the saying: Where popularity thrives, hope is born. Even teachers who have come out of the countryside have a feeling: the conditions in the countryside may not be good, but as long as there are schools, seeing the students is seeing the bright future.
The fertility rate has dropped significantly, which raises serious questions about human resources in the future. At the moment, many graduates feel that the competition is fierce and it is not easy to find a job. But looking further into the future, the workforce could turn out to be a challenge.
To alleviate this situation, deferred retirement options are gradually emerging. It was revealed that the delayed retirement plan is expected to be implemented in 2027. People have had mixed reactions to this.
Once delayed retirement is introduced, there are four occupations that will benefit.
To put it bluntly, delaying retirement means extending the number of years of service for employees and delaying the time to go home for retirement. While hard work has always been our virtue, let's be honest, how many of us would be willing to work hard day and night if not for a living?
However, different work pressures and patterns determine people's attitudes towards this issue. For some professions, postponing retirement for a few years does not lead to "not working", but can bring some benefits, a bit like a "benefit".
First and foremost is the well-known profession of teaching. In fact, there is currently a policy for female teachers, but there are specific requirements for the level of professional titles. Senior female teachers can postpone their retirement until the age of 60 if they do not apply for resignation at the age of 55.
If delayed retirement is implemented in 2027, perhaps the requirements for job titles will be less stringent. Teachers in schools are usually taken care of, and even in teaching positions, the number of students managed is not too large. Due to the large disparity in salaries, many teachers support delayed retirement.
The second is the staff in government institutions and institutions, who have a solid job, although they do not directly create production value, but they may receive more attention and respect.
With the exception of a few busy sectors, graduates from these occupations generally work at a lighter pace, especially when compared to the private sector. What's more, these units tend to value older employees and continue to work even when they are older.
The third category is professionals in the enterprise, who have outstanding performance in a certain skill or management ability. Although this type of occupation may not have a stable establishment, it has a higher income and is the elite of the working class.
They continue to work, apparently with huge wage differences. And, in a core role, the real benefits may go beyond salary. It's no wonder that some highly capable people are willing to endure pressure to continue in these professions.
The fourth type is employees in state-owned enterprises. Such state-owned enterprises or central enterprises are also considered to be part of the "system". Due to the more humane management style and better treatment, many people want to delay retirement as long as their physical conditions allow.
Employees in the private sector are envious because the gap between them and those in the system is even more significant.
Each has its own ups and downs, and the above four people are not averse to this plan. But new graduates from the private sector are feeling lost because the gap between them and the employees in the system seems to be widening.
The working environment of public institutions and large state-owned enterprises is much better than that of private enterprises. A female student noticed that her civil servant classmates went to pick up her children early when she was working overtime, and this contrast was inevitably enviable.
Sometimes when you go to work and ask a few more questions, the other party may become impatient. Perhaps ease has become the norm. Looking at the new graduates of private companies, late deductions may not be rewarding for overtime.
The pace of work is intense, and some business owners even find reasons to talk about work during their employees' lunch breaks. You may be able to tolerate it when you're young, but when you're in your thirties and don't have as much energy as a college student, you may be eliminated.
For many employees, stability is a luxury, and no one can be sure that they won't be fired until they officially retire. But looking at job postings, many positions are reluctant to hire older people.
One graduate was confused and worried: although the job is acceptable now, will it be possible to continue to establish itself in the industry in 10 or 20 years? Will it be possible to apply only for security guards or cleaners?
Author's Message: We must admit that the gap between the private sector and teachers, civil servants, and large state-owned enterprises is gradually widening. This difference will be even more pronounced if the average number of years of work is extended in the future.
We are often taught to love our country, as if we would be accused of "having the wrong view" if we question some reality. However, real-life stress is something that most people have to face, and only by addressing these issues better can people be motivated to do more.
