Controversy over the peasant retirement system? 65-year-old rural elderly can receive pensions, why do some people oppose it?
Introduction: With the rapid development of China's economy, people's living standards have been continuously improved, and the social security system has also been continuously improved. In recent years, the controversy over the peasant pension system has attracted widespread attention. China has reportedly begun experimenting with a policy of giving pensions to 65-year-olds in rural areas, but this policy has caused a lot of controversy. This article will focus on this issue, the reasons for the controversy over the farmer's pension system and the reasons behind it.
i.The importance of the peasant pension system.
1.Alleviate the pressure of rural aging.
With the aging of the rural population, more and more rural families are facing the problem of providing for the elderly. The establishment of a peasant pension insurance system can provide a certain degree of economic security for the elderly in rural areas, thereby alleviating the pressure of rural pension.
2.Improve the quality of life of farmers.
The implementation of the peasant pension system means that the elderly in rural areas can receive pensions after retirement, which has improved their quality of life to a certain extent and met their basic living needs.
3.Promote rural economic development.
The implementation of the peasant pension system will help to improve the consumption level of the elderly in rural areas, thereby promoting the development of the rural economy. At the same time, after retirement, the elderly can make full use of their free time to participate in rural production and business activities and promote the development of the rural economy.
ii.The reason for the controversy over the peasant pension system.
1.Funding issues.
The establishment of a peasant retirement system requires a certain amount of financial support. At present, the main funding** of this system is the increase in agricultural taxes and the consolidation of rural collective assets. However, these methods increase the burden on farmers and rural collectives and cause controversy.
2) Equity issues.
The implementation of the peasant pension system will raise the issue of fairness. On the one hand, it is unfair that urban workers can receive pensions after retirement, while rural elderly people cannot receive pensions until they are 65 years old. On the other hand, the level of pension received by the elderly in rural areas may be relatively low, making it difficult to meet basic living needs, which has also caused some controversy.
3.Difficulties in implementing policies.
The implementation of the peasant pension insurance system is facing some difficulties. First of all, China's rural areas are vast, and the distribution of the elderly is relatively scattered, which makes it difficult to manage. Secondly, there is a big difference between the pension needs of the elderly in rural areas and the actual situation, and how to formulate reasonable pension standards is also a difficult problem.
iii. Recommendations for the settlement of disputes.
1.Improve policy design.
* When formulating the peasant reform system, it is necessary to fully consider the issues of funding, fairness, and difficulty in policy implementation to ensure that the policy is reasonable and feasible.
2.Strengthen financial supervision.
In order to ensure the harmonious application of the peasant pension system, the supervision of pensions should be strengthened, the rational use of pensions should be ensured, and the waste and abuse of funds should be prevented.
3.Raise farmers' awareness of the issue of old age.
* It is necessary to intensify the education of the elderly in rural areas, improve their awareness of old-age care, guide them to rationally plan their life in their old age, and make full use of political resources.
In short, as an emerging social security system, the peasant pension insurance system has aroused widespread concern and controversy in the society. The implementation of this system has contributed to solving the problem of rural old-age care, improving the quality of life of farmers, and promoting rural economic development. However, in the process of implementation, how to solve the problems of fairness of funds and difficulty in policy application still requires the joint efforts of all sectors of society. Let us look forward to the future, look forward to the continuous improvement of the farmers' pension insurance system, and provide better old-age security for the elderly in rural areas.
