Is the life of the elderly in Japan really enviable?
To be sure, the life of the elderly in Japan is definitely better than that in developing countries for the simple reason that Japan is a developed capital country and its welfare system is definitely better than ours.
Of course, due to different values, in the eyes of some people in China, the old age of the Japanese is not enviable. They think that in Japan, where human feelings are indifferent, it is difficult for Japanese elderly people to get care from their children. Although the material conditions are better than ours, the elderly in Japan are lonely.
But is this really the case?
First of all, Japan's retirement system is like this. In Japan, the elderly can retire at the age of 60, but their pensions can't be collected until they are 65. Because the average age of Japan is 47 years old, it has really entered an aging society. Of course, the Japanese government also hopes that the Japanese elderly who have reached retirement age will continue to work to make up for the shortage of social labor. Therefore, it is normal for Japanese people in their 70s to work voluntarily.
Many people in China can't understand the fact that Japanese old people live forever. They generally subjectively believe that this is caused by social indifference and unfilial children.
But in fact, this behavior of the elderly in Japan is entirely determined by their self-reliance and self-improvement. In the eyes of Japanese old people, as long as they can walk, they will never go to their children's homes to bathe or eat, because Japanese old people think it is an insult to their personality.
of course，
Because the elderly in Japan voluntarily postpone their retirement age, the pension they receive afterwards is absolutely rich, which can completely cover all expenses after mobility inconvenience.
This is the real life of Japanese old people in their later years.
Japan's retirement welfare system is exactly the same for the elderly in rural and urban areas. Because the Japanese government's national pension system guarantees all this, of course, if the Japanese want to get more pensions after retirement, they can pay more retirement protection when they are young.
(Elderly people in rural areas of China)
By the way, China's pension system. In our country, if you live in a city and are included in the old-age care system, then you will be a happy old man who dances square dance after you retire at the age of 60, which has nothing to do with young people crowding the bus.
But what about the old people living in the countryside? These honest people who have been farming all their lives don't know that it is a loss to grow food. After the children go out to work, they rely entirely on their old, weak and sick bodies to support and protect this hopeless home.
However, I would also like to mention here that as our country becomes richer and richer, the elderly in rural areas can already receive a monthly pension of more than 100. Therefore, only when the country is rich and strong can the society be fair and the people be happy.
