The topic of old-age care for parents of only children has recently aroused a lot of heated discussions on major online platforms. Many netizens shared the problems they encountered as an only child when providing for their parents.
This also reminds me of the suggestion made by a representative of the National People's Congress during the two sessions in 2022:It is recommended that the pension of parents of only children be increased by 10%-20%.
This suggestion attracted widespread attention at the time and was also on the hot search.
Let's introduce you to Baojun below:
· What suggestions did this NPC deputy make?
· Why does the issue of old-age care for parents of only children deserve our special attention?
Deputies to the National People's Congress suggested
The pension for parents of only children will be increased by 10%-20%.
Chen Xueping is a deputy to the National People's Congress of Shandong Province.
During the two sessions in 2022, she put forward a series of suggestions on the pension of parents of only children.
One of the main ones is to recommend that the pension of parents of only children be increased by 10%-20%.
Others include:
· Parents of only children who have not paid social insurance can make up the pension insurance to receive a pension;
· Establishment of a nursing home for parents of only children;
· Parents of only children who have reached retirement age are allowed to rely on their only children who work and live in other places.
Chen Xueping believes that the only child has gradually become an important person in charge of the job.
They have to devote the main time and energy to work, and at the same time to cultivate and educate children, parents pension, medical care and other problems have gradually become prominent.
After the suggestion was reported, it rushed to the first place on the hot search list at that time, causing a large number of netizens to like and support.
Providing for the elderly of parents, it is not easy for an only child
When people reach old age, their body and spirit are not as good as before, and health care and medical care cost money, which is the stage of life that costs the most money.
Now that the average life expectancy has increased, the need for pension money is also more.
And for the only child, the problem is even more acute:
· A single-child couple usually has to support 4 elderly people;
· There are still children to raise and educate below;
· I should also try my best to maintain my work and life
· In some families, the only child works in other places and lives separately from his parents for a long time.
The biggest problem they face is:
All the pressure has to be borne by yourself, and without brothers and sisters to share, not only can you not afford the funds, but also the energy is not enough.
I also posted an article before and introduced one thing to you:
An old couple, the pension of the two is 10,000 2, but because one is paralyzed and the other is demented. The only daughter had no choice but to send them to a nursing home, and was scolded by many netizens for being unfilial.
Is it feasible to raise pensions by 10%-20%?
Some institutions estimate that by the end of 2028, the number of families consisting of only one child will be reached in the country1.800 million households
These families are facing the problem of providing for the elderly.
A 10%-20% increase in pensions doesn't look too high
But in 1Under the huge base of 800 million households, even if it is only **1%, it is also an unimaginably huge expenditure.
The aging of society is intensifying and the elderly population is increasing, which makes the pressure on our country's pension already very heavy.
Although the retirement pension is still every year, the increase is getting smaller and smaller, and it will fall below 4% for the first time in 2023.
If it really wants to be raised, this money can only be transferred from the national social security pension, but it will undoubtedly further increase the burden of the national pension.
We must face the problem of providing for the elderly of parents with only children.
However, whether to raise the pension by way, and if it is really raised, how much proportion is appropriate, these need to be decided after in-depth research.
In fact, the state is trying to find ways to help us reduce the pressure on the elderly every year.
For example, the national pension plan implemented in 2023 will be implemented, and the investment rate of return on social security pensions will be increased as much as possible.
However, if we want to solve the problem of providing for the elderly of parents of only children, it is not enough to rely on the state, and we can also prepare a pension for our parents in advance.
Summary
The first-generation one-child parents, who are currently facing retirement, actively responded to the national call for family planning and made contributions and sacrifices to the country's development.
Now that they have reached their old age, of course, they should be treated well by the state.
A 10%-20% increase in the pension for parents of only children is a very constructive proposal. I believe that as the problem attracts attention, more and more good solutions will be proposed.
Of course, in addition to the first generation of only children, there will be second and third generations of ......
Even today, many young people are reluctant to have a second child, and there are one-child families everywhere.
When these people retire, their children will face similar problems.
In addition to waiting for the national system to be more perfect and reasonable, in order to consider our own pension in the future, it is also necessary to prepare more pensions for ourselves and try to reduce the burden on our children.
Social security pension only solves food and clothing.
If you want to have a high-quality old age, you can plan in advance and make extra preparations, such as configuring pension insurance.
