Preface
"From Capital to Small Town: Trends in the Geographical Migration of Older Adults in China"
Loading...
With the rising cost of living in first-tier cities,
More and more seniors are choosing to relocate their retirement to lower-cost third- and fourth-tier cities.
According to the Beijing Bureau of Statistics, by the end of 2023,
Nearly 40,000 elderly people with household registration in Beijing and Tianjin choose to spend their old age in elderly care institutions in Hebei Province.
The number of temporary sojourn pensioners is as high as 590,000.
In addition, the high cost of providing for the elderly in Shanghai and Beijing has also forced some elderly people to return to their hometowns.
Zhu Guomin, 81, returned to Yancheng, Jiangsu Province, from Shanghai to enjoy more economical retirement options.
In Yancheng, the monthly cost of staying in a room is only 4,500 yuan.
Compared with 6,000 yuan/month for similar institutions in Shanghai, the economic pressure has been significantly reduced.
As soon as the topic was posted on the Internet, the comment area instantly exploded! Tens of thousands of comments poured in
Some of these netizens' comments are even more interesting and interesting, let's take a look
This is the terrible siphon effect of big cities, absorbing young adults from small places to work, and then throwing the elderly back to small places to care for the elderly, you still want to develop.
It is the wisest choice to go to the first-tier cities to make money, and to go back to the third- and fourth-tier cities to spend money
From the time I pay the pension insurance now, to the day I receive it, it is estimated that it will not reach 4500
This idea is really good, the money from the first-tier cities can choose a very good nursing home in the third- and fourth-tier cities
The terrible thing is to take the pension of the first-tier cities to the small county town for the elderly, which will drive the pension institutions in the small county to charge high, resulting in the difficulty of the elderly in the small county, because most of the old people in the small county do not have a pension, or if they have, it will not be very high.
Why? Which city will the people retire in which city? Don't come to our town [awkward laughter]
The lamb has something to say
In today's rapid economic development, the migration of the elderly is no longer an isolated phenomenon, but the choice of more and more families. Behind this is the imbalance in economic development between urban and rural areas and between regions in the mainland, and also reflects the complexity of the problem of social aging.
Although first-tier cities such as Beijing and Shanghai have relatively complete medical resources and living facilities, they are also accompanied by high living costs and a tight pace of life. For many seniors who still need to think about the economy after retirement, the pressure to maintain life in first-tier cities is enormous.
Third- and fourth-tier cities have become their new choice because of the lower cost of living. As mentioned in the article, Yancheng can live alone in a local pension institution for a monthly fee of 4,500 yuan, while in Shanghai the cost of 6,000 yuan under the same conditions. Such economic advantages are obvious, and for most ordinary families, they are undoubtedly more attractive.
Geographic migration of pensions also sheds light on some of the issues that deserve attention in our society.
Although first-tier cities are rich in resources, they are not evenly distributed.
The shortage of medical resources and the crowded living environment make many elderly people choose to leave even if they are unwilling.
This phenomenon prompts us to reflect on how to allocate resources more rationally across the country, and how to enable the elderly to enjoy better medical conditions while also feeling comfortable and comfortable in life.
The geographical migration of the elderly also reflects the pursuit of quality of life of the elderly. Many elderly people who choose to retire in other places are actually making new choices for their later life.
With the support of their limited pension, they hope to find a place with low prices, a comfortable environment and a harmonious social atmosphere to spend their old age.
As a member of society, we should pay more attention to the actual needs of this group and provide them with more support and convenience at the level of policies and social services. Only in this way can we truly build a harmonious society that cares for the elderly, so that everyone's old age life is full of warmth and dignity.
