Chapter 451: If a person has no foresight, he must have near-term worries (2)
Since the news of SARS came, the number of people exercising in Haishi seems to have increased all of a sudden, haven't you heard! People who are healthy and have strong immunity have a small chance of getting this disease, and even if they do, the probability of recovery is relatively high!
Zhao Hong looked at the aunts in the distance who were dancing square dances, and the uncles were singing red songs, they were leisurely and happy, trying to live a healthier and more exciting life, and felt that they were also looking forward to such a life!
But will you have such a happy old age when you are old?
Many women here can retire normally at the age of forty-five, and many men are at most fifty-five enough to retire, so they are not particularly old, and they can easily dance and sing!
But what about a few decades from now? Because the one-child policy has been in place for 20 years, young people may not be seen on the streets, and children have become a rare breed! Now there is an abundance of labor resources, even a very surplus, and many people are worried about finding work, but what about the future? Jobs are very easy to find, but the income is very low, because the wealth created by one labor force needs to support several people, do they still have time to fall in love? Do they still have the energy to raise children?
And what about us in the future? We may have to work hard to make money! Just like the current RB countries.
If you have the opportunity to walk around the airport and bustling business districts of RB Capital, you will find that most of RB's supermarkets, restaurants, taxi drivers, construction site care, traffic security, highway toll collectors, property managers, and cleaners are elderly. When transiting at an airport, you can also see the elderly porter loading and unloading goods alone, and she may have been seventy or eighty years old, admiration arises spontaneously, is there still some doubt or sadness!
In fact, the elderly workforce has increasingly become a major component of the RB workforce.
Zhao Hong remembers that in the future, the unemployment rate of the elderly aged 65~69 years old was 40.7%, the highest since 1975. This means that 2 out of 5 older people continue to work.
In recent years, there are two characteristics of RB re-unemployment:
In addition to older men, the number of unemployed women over the age of 65 has also increased rapidly. The unemployment rate is 51 per cent for men and 31 per cent for women, exceeding 30 per cent for the first time.
Second, the jobs that older people are engaged in are no longer limited to the service sector and are beginning to appear on the front lines of some manufacturing industries. For example, an electromechanical company in a city has more than 100 employees for non-major consumer electronics, of which 16 are over 65 years old, and the oldest is 73 years old.
They are all willing, love the motherland, love labor, and feel empty if they don't work for a day, and even have something to do in their old age, and have a lot to do?
Most employees of large and medium-sized enterprises in RB retire at the age of 60, but the pension of the RB is paid from the age of 65. As a result, most workers will choose to re-enter the workforce after retirement to earn subsistence until they start receiving their pension at the age of 65.
According to a survey conducted by RB officials, 58 per cent of people still hint that they want to work at the age of 65, not only because they can look for another job before they receive their pension, but also because they want to continue working even after they start receiving a pension.
Why are more and more RB seniors choosing to continue working hard when they can pay their pensions?
According to the results of the survey, 73% of the respondents said that it was due to "economic reasons", that is, to ensure that their survival level does not fall, and 22% said that they "want to fulfill the value of life and integrate into society with the times".
In recent years, due to the continued downturn in the RB economy, pensions have barely increased for many years, and the actual quality of life of many retirees has been greatly affected.
According to the statistics of the Ministry of Health, Welfare and Welfare of Japan, this year, the average RB middle-class family, if two people receive a pension of 21.8-230,000 yen per month (about 1809~1909 US dollars). According to the price level at that time, it was difficult to maintain a warm and decent survival of the old couple with these pensions alone. Continuing to work becomes a kind of "willingness" that has no choice!
Only a small number of elderly people are unwilling to be lonely in their twilight years and expect to "do something for the elderly". For example, a certain gentleman was a worker in an electronic product company before retirement, and he did nothing after retirement, fearing that he would be eliminated by society, and recently at the age of 68, he was hired back to his original position, although the salary was only half of that before retirement, he was still happy. "I'm going to do it until the day I can't move. It's inconceivable that if a person doesn't work, then what is the point of living in this world? ”
With the intensification of the aging society, more and more elderly people in RB are starting from scratch to take up tasks, and the whole country needs to face social troubles such as the temporary downturn of the RB economy, the decline in the birth rate from time to time, the severe aging of the number structure, and the lack of ordinary labor.
While the population is aging, the number of people employed in B is decreasing in the range of 500,000 per year, and it is estimated that the number of people employed in RB will decline from 63.51 million in one year to 55.61 million by 2030.

This means that there is a dwindling need for labor to support an increasing number of older people.
To this end, the RB authorities have enacted legislation that requires companies to extend the employment of employees to 65 years of age until 2025, and stipulates that companies are obliged to continue to recruit seniors over 60 years old in an attempt to bring the elderly back into the labor market from scratch.
Not only RB, but also from a global perspective, delaying retirement has become a trend.
According to the data of the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, China is now the country with the earliest retirement age in the world, with an average of less than 55 years old.
From this, it can be imagined that today's domestic aunts and uncles dance square dances, while the future aunts and uncles must work hard to earn money!
Of course, the premise is that you must be able to live to a very old day! Because when you are young, you work under great pressure and work very hard, and you may have a lot of occupational diseases! And when you enter old age, it will gradually begin to erupt, can you bear the part that cannot be reimbursed? How many times can you bear it? And because of the age, there are more and more geriatric diseases, and most of the geriatric diseases are still chronic diseases, which require long-term medication, and the medicines are becoming more and more expensive, and personal expenses are also increasing, is the meager pension affordable?
There is only one child, and he sometimes has no time to take care of himself, because they need to face not only the problem of supporting their parents, but also the problem of raising their own children! Children are difficult to find jobs, and even if they find a salary, it is relatively low and low, not to mention how much money they have accumulated, even if they can take care of their current life, it is already very good!
People who have no long-term worries must have near-term worries! Just like the SARS in front of us, which is said to have been eaten!
