In today's society, the pension gap is becoming increasingly prominent, in order to ensure the quality of life of the elderly, the government and all walks of life have proposed solutions. At present, the four major pension adjustment plans have attracted much attention, each with its own characteristics, all aimed at narrowing the pension gap, and has initially shown results.
The pension gap problem mainly stems from multiple factors such as history, economics and policy. With the acceleration of aging and economic and social development, this problem is becoming more and more serious. In order to meet this challenge, the government and all sectors of society are actively seeking solutions to achieve fair ageing.
Among the four major programs, some focus on improving the basic pension level to ensure that low-income groups can maintain their basic life; some focus on establishing a more perfect pension system to improve the sustainability of the system; and some programs put forward a differentiated adjustment strategy, according to the individual's payment period, payment amount and other factors to make differentiated adjustments, in order to better reflect the principle of fairness.
When it comes to adjusting the pension gap, here are four possible options that aim to narrow the pension gap between different retirees while ensuring fairness and sustainability:
Option 1: Combination of quota adjustment and peg adjustment
- Quota adjustment: Set a fixed pension increase for all retirees to ensure that all retirees can enjoy a certain degree of growth. This helps to close the gap between retirees with low pension levels and retirees with high pension levels.
- Linked adjustment: According to the retiree's contribution period, payment amount and other factors, different linkage adjustment ratios are set. In this way, retirees with long payment years and high payment amounts can obtain relatively high growth, thus reflecting the principle of "paying more and getting more for a long time" to a certain extent.
Option 2: Implement stepwise growth
- Set pension level ranges: Set different growth ranges according to the pension level of retirees. For example, a higher percentage of growth is set for retirees with lower levels of pensions, and lower percentages are set for retirees with higher levels of pensions.
- Gradually closing the gap: Gradually closing the pension gap between different retirees through stepwise growth. This helps to achieve a fair distribution of pensions while reducing financial pressures.
Plan 3: Establish a pension supplement mechanism
- Set up a supplementary pension account: Set up a supplementary pension account for retirees with a low pension level, and raise funds through government subsidies, social donations, etc.
- Regular payment of supplementary pensions: Supplementary pensions are regularly paid to retirees with low pension levels, depending on the funds in the supplementary pension account, in order to improve their standard of living.
Plan 4: Strengthen the management of pension insurance funds
- Improve the rate of return of pension insurance funds: increase the rate of return of pension insurance funds by optimizing investment portfolios and reducing investment risks, so as to provide more financial support for pension growth.
- Strengthen fund supervision: strengthen the supervision of pension insurance funds to ensure the safety and stability of funds. At the same time, improve relevant laws and regulations to provide legal protection for fund management.

If it's too much, it shouldn't go up, the gap is too big
These programmes can be combined and adapted to better suit the needs of different regions and different groups according to the actual situation. At the same time, it is also necessary to pay attention to balancing the interests of all parties to ensure the fairness and sustainability of pension adjustment.
After a period of implementation, these programmes have begun to bear fruit. In some areas, the level of pensions has been improved, and the quality of life of low-income elderly people has been guaranteed. At the same time, the sustainability of the pension system has also been strengthened, laying a solid foundation for future pension security.
Looking ahead, we look forward to these programs continuing to play a positive role in creating a fairer and more harmonious retirement environment for the elderly. At the same time, we also call on all sectors of society to work together to promote the reform and improvement of the pension system and contribute to the construction of a harmonious society.
