The issue of pension, to put it bluntly, is the question of "who to rely on when you get old". In China, "raising children and preventing old age" is a traditional concept left by our ancestors, but now this concept is facing unprecedented challenges. Aging and declining birthrate, these two major social phenomena are like two sharp swords, hanging over the head of every family and every elderly person.
Think about it back then, as soon as the one-child policy was implemented, it set off a trend of "only one child is good". And now? The only children who responded to the policy have grown up, and some have even become the backbone of society. But what about their parents? They have entered old age and need care and companionship. At this time, the problem arises: a single-child couple has to take care of four elderly people, or even more. This pressure is not ordinary!
Let's talk about the declining birth rate. Today's young people, pursuing freedom, pursuing individuality, getting married and having children? It depends on fate and mood. If this continues, the future labor market will be in flux. When the time comes, let alone retirement, it will be difficult to even find a young man to take care of you!
This is the dilemma we are now facing: on the one hand, there is a conflict between traditional concepts and reality, and on the other hand, there are policy influences and demographic challenges. This is not a small problem, but a big one that concerns the future of each and every one of us!
This pension dilemma is like a big stone pressing on everyone's heart. We have to face up to this problem, and we can't wait until we are old to regret that we didn't prepare early. The government, society, and families all have to take action to find a way to solve this problem. Otherwise, when we get old, it will really be a shame for the heavens and the earth!
Therefore, the issue of old-age care is not only a personal problem, but also a social problem. We can't just rely on the traditional concept of raising children to prevent old age to solve this problem. We need more innovative thinking and diversified ways to care for the elderly to solve this problem. The government needs to introduce more policies to support and guide the development of the pension industry; The society needs more attention and investment to promote the improvement of pension services; Families also need more understanding and support to face the challenges of caring for the elderly. Only in this way can we work together to deal with this increasingly serious pension problem.
