Enough is enough, don't go up any more!

In today's society, a thought-provoking topic is gradually attracting widespread attention and discussion:
There is an imbalance between retirement wages and young people's employment and income.
Recently, the words of a respectable aunt in an interview have deeply touched the hearts of countless young people, and we have to re-examine this social phenomenon.
02
Nowadays, the difference in retirement pay has become a high-profile issue.
We see that some people who are close to retirement and pay social security intensively have a monthly pension of only more than 1,200 yuan.
In stark contrast, retirees with decent work experience,
For example, teachers, the retirement salary is basically 7000 - 8000 yuan.
The salary of retirees in some enterprises or banks can also reach 6000 - 7000 yuan.
There are also special units with a retirement salary of more than 10,000 yuan.
At the same time, our more than 10 million recent college graduates are facing unprecedented employment challenges.
In the competitive job market, corporate clerical jobs pay around $5,000, and graphic designers, web designers, architects, landscape architects, etc., who were once considered decent jobs, now earn significantly less.
Even industries such as online car-hailing drivers, takeaway brothers, and express delivery brothers have seen varying degrees of decline in income.
I have to admit that a considerable number of young people have a monthly income of more than 5,000 yuan, which is far lower than the salary level of many retired seniors.
Even more worrying is that the salaries of retirees continue to increase every year.
To a certain extent, this has aggravated the imbalance in the distribution of social resources.
We need to think, for those retirees, do their actual needs really require such a high pension?
Perhaps, as the aunt said, the cap of 5,000 yuan is enough for most retirees to meet their basic living needs.
The saved resources can be invested more in the employment and development of young people.

Young people are the future and hope of society, and they carry the heavy responsibility of promoting social progress and development.
However, the current employment situation and income situation are putting a lot of pressure on them.
The scarcity of job opportunities, bottlenecks in career development and unsatisfactory incomes have made life difficult for many young people.
They walked out of the campus with dreams and passions, but they felt lost and helpless under the impact of reality.
In contrast, retirees have completed their careers, contributed to society, and deserve a secure old age.
However, when there is a large gap in the distribution of retirement wages, and the rising retirement wages may have a certain impact on the distribution of social resources, should we re-examine this phenomenon?
This does not mean that the reasonable treatment of the retired elderly should be reduced, but that resources should be allocated more rationally on the premise of ensuring their basic livelihood, so as to create more opportunities and a better development environment for young people.

From the perspective of socio-economic development, the employment and income of young people are directly related to the country's innovation capacity and economic vitality.
If a large number of young people lose confidence and motivation because of employment difficulties and low incomes, the development momentum of the whole society will be seriously affected.
Therefore, it is of vital significance for the sustainable development of society to appropriately adjust the allocation of resources, increase support for young people's employment, and improve their income levels.
There are many ways we can achieve this.
First of all, the government can introduce relevant policies to encourage enterprises to absorb young people for employment, and give certain tax incentives and subsidies.
At the same time, we will increase support for entrepreneurship and provide more entrepreneurial opportunities and financial support for young people.
Second, vocational training and education should be strengthened to improve the vocational skills and overall quality of young people so that they can better meet the needs of the market.
In addition, the industrial structure can be optimized, emerging industries can be cultivated, and more high value-added jobs can be created.
The retirement salary system can also be appropriately reformed and improved.
On the basis of ensuring the basic livelihood of the retired elderly, more attention should be paid to fairness and sustainability.
Retirement wage standards can be reasonably adjusted according to the level of economic development and price levels in different regions.
At the same time, the management and supervision of retirement wages should be strengthened to ensure the rational use of funds.
Of course, solving this problem requires the joint efforts of the whole society.
Enterprises should assume social responsibility and provide more development space and reasonable remuneration for young people.
Social organizations and individuals can also play an active role in helping young people improve their employability and entrepreneurial opportunities in a variety of ways.
"Chinese aunt! Don't give your retirement salary any more! How many young people can't earn 5,000 yuan" reflects not only the anxiety of young people about their own predicament, but also the expectation of a reasonable allocation of social resources.
We should look at this issue with a more rational and objective attitude, and through multi-party cooperation and joint efforts, we can achieve fair and harmonious development of society, so that young people can thrive on the road full of hope and opportunities, and make greater contributions to the prosperity of society.

In the process of thinking about the relationship between retirement wages and young people's employment and income, we cannot ignore some deep-seated social issues.
For example, the disparity of employment opportunities and incomes caused by unbalanced regional development, the non-regulation of industry competition, and the disconnection between education and job market demand.
These issues are intertwined and together affect the distribution of social resources and the development prospects of young people.
From the perspective of regional development, some developed regions tend to have more high-quality employment opportunities and higher salary levels, while less developed regions are relatively scarce.
This has led to a flock of young people to big cities, exacerbating the pressure of competition for jobs and further exacerbating regional development imbalances.
In order to improve this situation, the government needs to increase investment and support for underdeveloped regions, promote coordinated regional development, create more local employment opportunities, and reduce the pressure caused by population migration.
The irregularity of industry competition is also a problem that cannot be ignored.
In some industries, there are phenomena such as unfair competition and monopoly, which not only damages the fairness of the market, but also restricts the development space of young people.
The government should strengthen market supervision and create a fair and competitive market environment, so that young people can reap the rewards they deserve for their abilities and efforts.
The disconnect between education and job market demand also affects young people's employment and income.
To a certain extent, the current education system has failed to keep up with the changes in market demand, resulting in difficulties for graduates of some majors to find employment, while some emerging industries are facing a shortage of talents.
Therefore, the education department and colleges and universities need to strengthen cooperation with enterprises, adjust the professional settings and teaching content in a timely manner, and cultivate high-quality talents to meet the market demand.
Returning to the issue of retirement pay, we should also pay attention to the challenges posed by an ageing population.
With the increasing proportion of the elderly population, the pressure on the old-age security system is also increasing.
In this case, how to achieve the reasonable distribution and sustainable development of retirement wages is an urgent problem to be solved.
In addition to adjusting the retirement salary standard, we can also explore diversified old-age security models, such as the development of commercial old-age insurance, the promotion of personal pension system, etc., to reduce the burden of the public old-age security system.
In addition, a shift in social attitudes is crucial. We should advocate for a more inclusive and equitable society, respecting the contributions and needs of every age group.
Young people should establish a correct career outlook and values, and realize the value of life through their own efforts;
Retirees should also understand the difficulties faced by young people and contribute to the harmonious development of society.
