Let farmers solve the pension problem on their ownIs it really enough to give only one acre and three points of land?
The complexity and background of the issue of farmers' pensions.
The issue of farmers' pension has always been the focus of social attention. However, there are also voices on the Internet that farmers should solve the pension problem by themselves, rather than calling on the state to issue pensions. This view holds that peasants who have not paid endowment insurance are not eligible to receive pensions, and only peasants who have paid endowment insurance should receive fair and just treatment. On the basis of the principle of fairness and justice, this view seems to hold water.
However, this view does not take into account a serious problem: farmers do not have the channels and knowledge that they should have to buy pension insurance, and they do not have enough income** to buy pension insurance. Many people will think that farmers have land and homesteads, how can they not afford pension insurance?Some people even say that farming is a lucrative industry with huge profits. However, this statement is actually ignorance of social reality and discrimination against farmers. Therefore, farmers cannot rely on pensions alone, because only in this way can fairness and justice be truly realized. However, we inevitably ask: do farmers really own the land?
Peasants are not real landowners.
Rural land has always been the collective property of the state, and the peasants only have the right to contract and develop the land, not the real owners. In addition, farmers cannot grow any crops at will, only food crops. For a long time, grain has been purchased at a low price, resulting in farmers losing money when they grow a bucket of grain. Someone quotes"Plant a grain of millet in spring and harvest 10,000 seeds in autumn"to describe the huge profits of farmers, but this sentence is far from reality. In addition, property in rural areas is collectively owned by the state,** which is strictly restricted.
This is a huge difference between urban dwellers and rural farmers, but this issue is often deliberately ignored. If farmers can buy and sell land and real estate as freely as urban residents, they will be able to solve the pension problem more easily, and they will not need to turn to the state for pensions.
The disparity between peasants and urban dwellers and the inevitable problems of social development.
Why don't city dwellers need to rely on the state to pay their pensions?Because they can buy pension insurance, have their own"Land bank"。This"Land bank"It is a product of the country's urbanization process. This benefit is available to those living in cities, but not to the non-urban population. This is also the fundamental reason why the disposable income of urban residents is higher than that of rural farmers. This is an inevitable problem in the development of society, although it is a harsh reality for rural farmers.
However, urban dwellers who criticize peasants for demanding pensions from the state have no right to do so. They themselves are the beneficiaries of the country's urbanization process and should have sympathy and pity for the peasants. The process of urbanization has hollowed out the population and resources of the rural areas, leaving only poor peasants and the old, weak, sick and disabled. This is a fact that cannot be ignored, and the state must pay attention to the issue of old-age care for rural farmers and formulate corresponding policies to support them.
Summary. The issue of farmers' pension cannot be ignored, and society must respect the rights of farmers and seek solutions. The peasants' land does not really belong to them, and they do not have the necessary access and knowledge to buy pension insurance. Exaggerating agricultural profits and blindly envying rural resources will only exacerbate the gap between urban and rural areas. Urban people should be more sympathetic to the peasants' woes and pay more attention to and support the issue of providing for the elderly in rural areas. At the same time, the state should also introduce reasonable and effective policies to solve the problem of farmers' pensions, so that farmers can live their old age with dignity. Only in this way can social fairness and justice be achieved.
