The aging of the population is already an indisputable fact, and some experts say that the increase in the aging population will cause the country's financial burden. It may sound reasonable, but life expectancy is less than 80 years old, so you won't have to work for the rest of your life
1. What are the factors that cause the increase in the aging population?
1) Family planning: Since the 80s, the whole country has called for "only one child", only one child in the city, and two children in the countryside, which is the fundamental reason for the formation of aging.
2) At present, family planning has been liberalized, or to encourage childbirth, and the country has a policy that child support can be deducted from individual income tax and other preferential measures. But it doesn't seem to be very effective.
3) Heavy economic burden: especially the high pressure on employment, affected by the epidemic in recent years, the economy is sluggish, many factories have closed down, and layoffs have caused many people to lose their economic burden, and naturally they dare not have more children.
4) Young people's view of marriage has changed: in the past, boys did not marry until the age of 30 and girls did not get married until they were 25 years old, and they would be besieged by relatives at home. But now the concept of marriage has changed, many girls are in their 30s, and many are not married, so now fewer and fewer babies are born every year.
2. Response measures for the aging population:
1) Increase income, improve social welfare, and reduce the burden of young people's lives. China's economic strength is strong, and every year it can appropriately increase its financial liabilities, increase social welfare, and alleviate the people's worries.
2) Increase the number of pension service institutions: whether it is funded by the state or a third-party organization, to solve the life of the elderly in their later years and minimize the burden on the younger generations. That is to say, "the old have something to rely on, and the old have support".
3) Delaying retirement is better than pushing early retirement: Delaying retirement is nothing more than letting retirees pay more and receive money later. But I don't think it's necessary, because my country has strong financial strength, and it invests hundreds of billions more every year, which is a piece of cake. But early retirement can free up a lot of jobs for young people. When young people have a job, their lives will be worry-free, and those who retire early will drive consumption!
4) Lonely and widowed elderly: In order to make the life of this part of the elderly better in their old age, the state can pay for and take care of this part of the elderly. When the elderly leave, their property goes to the state. In this way, the elderly will have a secure life in their old age, the quality of life will be greatly improved, and the state will not increase the financial burden!
