Chapter 325: The Abyss of Pain That Makes People Despair
Ying Ning, who has already visited nursing homes, knows that taking care of the elderly is a very hard thing. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
However, if the nursing home is more formal, according to the consumption level of the city, the fee standard is more than two or three thousand, and the conditions are slightly better, at least five or six thousand. The reason is that many elderly people lack the ability to live independently and need more patience and care than ordinary patients. In particular, some paralyzed and disabled people who have lost their ability to take care of themselves need the help of nurses to turn over, lie down, and urinate and urinate.
And so many empty nesters, it is impossible to ask nurses and nannies to take care of them.
Those who are willing to do this are basically in the prime of life. Young people will be tired and dirty, and the older ones don't have the strength and energy, based on the standard of one person caring for six elderly people in the nursing home, this is a gap of tens of millions.
What a waste of human resources for an industrial country.
If a person's prime of life is the most abundant and prosperous period of experience, knowledge, character, and personal connections in his life, if these tens of millions of high-quality labor resources are used in vain on this kind of jobs that cannot improve productivity, it will undoubtedly greatly affect the overall production efficiency of the society and consume the labor resources of the whole society, not to mention, how much pressure will be caused to other people in the society.
The resources of the whole society are limited, and when some people are unable to engage in productive labor, the other part needs to make more efforts to support everyone.
Delayed retirement and the two-child policy are both part of ZF's attempt to compensate for the overcrowding of the elderly and the lack of suitable labor for jobs.
Otherwise, we will be like those countries that have fallen into an aging population as a whole, because there are not many people doing real jobs, the economy is not vibrant, and the development of the whole society has fallen into a stage of stagnation and decline. In addition to increasing the pressure on the economy and making it difficult to repay individual and national debts, this crisis of productivity disconnection will also contribute to unimaginable and terrible social unrest.
The first is poverty.
This is not to say that the common people of these countries cannot survive, and that the population of most industrial countries will not exceed the upper limit of their resources, and the amount of wealth and material resources accumulated before them will be enough to reach a certain standard of living limit, but that the overall relatively poor economic environment will lead to an unprecedented degree of social oppression of individuals.
The most obvious example of this is Japan.
There, the working hours, workload and work pressure of office workers have been exaggerated to the point that most people live very stressful lives, and a person needs to do much more work than the normal population in other countries to support the standard of living they want. Correspondingly, local price levels will also be raised to a daunting stage to balance the lack of supply of this resource. As a result, it is difficult for a large number of ordinary people to leave enough savings to cover future risks or make consumer investments with additional purposes after paying the necessary living expenses such as rent and daily consumer goods.
This desperate social situation has not only created a harsh work culture in Japan, but also caused a huge pressure to survive as a superior to a subordinate that enjoys unimaginable control over subordinates, and has also become an important reason for Japan's suicide rate, which ranks first in the world. Because, once they have a job crisis and lose their most basic source of income, most Japanese people don't know what to do next month. It's no wonder that many Japanese people regard job opportunities as an extremely important thing in their lives, and losing a decent job will not only cause unimaginable psychological pressure, but also bear many opinions from the outside world, which is more uncomfortable than killing him.
The second is the reduction or disappearance of welfare caused by the lack of social finance.
In this regard, the most affected are social and public resources such as infrastructure, housing, services, medical care and education security systems.
Not to mention that many aging countries are still at the level of infrastructure in the last century, I am afraid that many people do not expect that the biggest problem is the United States.
Obviously, it has the best economic basic conditions and scientific and technological level in the whole world, relying on the military strength and financial hegemony that are ahead of all countries, and has plundered a huge amount of profit resources from the world to supply its own country, but because most people are unwilling to engage in labor production and are more inclined to serve the financial industry, the whole society has been divided and the gap between the rich and the poor is widening. A large number of low-income people who receive relief money and food rolls cannot afford to pay the high medical insurance premiums, nor can they afford to go to expensive private schools that require tens of thousands of dollars in loans to get in.
As for the public schools that are said to be able to receive free breakfast and lunch. If we can take that kind of sheep-like educational environment as an upward channel for the general public, then the vast number of American imperialists will not lose the motivation to change their hope of life, and let a large number of young people who should have a bright future engage in illegal activities such as selling yin, gang-gang trading, and anti-drug activities, which will indirectly raise the school violence to a terrifying level. Just from the content of the school bullying culture involved in the self-produced movies and TV series in the United States, we know how bad this situation is.
If it weren't for hopelessness, most ordinary people could only stay at the bottom of the entire social class, and they couldn't change their class for the rest of their lives.
Even the important profession of protecting social security, such as police and prosecutors, has lost its original role and has become a dogleg and thug of the rich and ZF, and has serious antagonistic emotions with ordinary people.
When the situation develops to the worst, the United States, with its huge number of immigrants, will also be like those South American countries, where it is clear that the young and middle-aged labor force is sufficient, but it cannot be transformed into productive forces suitable for social stability, and it is always in a chaotic stage - gangs at the bottom are rampant, the people have no intention of working, and the upper class does not want to forge ahead, and the rich are more willing to buy industries in low-income countries with cheaper labor costs and more industrial population, so that the whole country is in a state of hollowing, I don't know when, It will completely collapse due to the double pressure of internal and external.
Finally, the large-scale situation of lonely old people has dealt a blow to the morale of the people.
Ying Ning couldn't imagine what would happen if the number of elderly people without children to support exceeded the upper limit of the carrying capacity of the whole society.
All she knew was that every time she saw homeless people and homeless people, she felt an unspeakable sadness and fear, and her confidence in her future, the prospects of society, and her country.
If this day does come to pass, it will be an absolute nightmare, an abyss of pain that makes everyone despair!
