With the passage of time, the problem of population aging has once again triggered collections.
The data shows that the post-60 s group is continuing to retire at an average rate of 20 million people per year.
Since the founding of New China, the first population peak has been from 1962 to 10 in 1972, which also means that the number of retirees will increase one after another from this year, and a large-scale "retirement tide" is coming.
Retirement involves two issues, one is that there are more and more elderly people, and the other is providing for the elderly.
The data shows that in 20021year, the population aged 60 and over in China reached 267 million, accounting for 18.9%, which was about 0.2 percentage points higher than the 264 million released by the seventh national census in 2020.
Among them, the population aged 65 and above exceeds 200 million, accounting for 14.2%, which is also 0.7 percentage points higher than the population of1900,000 in the seventh national census.
According to the forecast of relevant departments in China, the population aged 60 and over in China will reach 300 million, accounting for more than 20%, and China will enter a stage of moderate aging. By 2035, the population aged 60 and over will exceed 400 million, accounting for more than 30%, and enter the stage of severe aging.
Not only is the population aging growing rapidly, but there are also great differences between regions.
From a national perspective, the number of elderly people in cities is more than that in rural areas, but the degree of aging in rural areas is higher than that in cities and towns. This is mainly because many young people leave the countryside to work in other places, while more people stay in the countryside, so the proportion has increased.
Just as the 60-year-old retired man in the town went to the square dance, the 60-year-old man in the countryside was still burying his head in the loess.
Because for many elderly people in rural areas, there is no retirement.
Due to historical reasons, the rural pension system started late, that is to say, many rural elderly people did not have the conditions to pay pensions before, and could not enjoy the pension system, even if they reached retirement age.
Rural elderly people over 60 can receive basic pensions, but this is incomparable with urban pensions that cost thousands of dollars.
By 2022, China's urban retirees' pensions will achieve "18 sustained growth". According to the latest data released by Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, in 20021year, the per capita pension of enterprise retirees nationwide was 2987 yuan per month.
And how much is the basic pension in rural areas?
At first, it was only a few tens of yuan, but later it rose to 100 yuan, ranging from 200-300 yuan in most areas.
20 15 there is a report about the present situation of rural old-age care in China, which shows that more than 60% of the elderly in rural areas have no savings, and more than 30% need to take care of them. They receive labor insurance from 60 yuan every month, and they say with tears that they are satisfied.
In 2022, rural pension is still a difficult problem.
Due to the underdeveloped industry and low income from farming in rural areas, many rural people in their fifties and sixties with good physical conditions choose to work in cities, doing the hardest and most tiring work on the construction site, in order to support their families or support their sons to buy a house and settle down in the county.
And those who can't go out can only keep their own acre of land and become left-behind elderly people.
Going out with a lock and entering with a light have become their true portrayal.
According to the data of the seventh master plan in 2020, the population living in rural areas is about 500 million, accounting for 36. 1 1%.
The Comprehensive Investigation Report on Rural Revitalization in China (202 1) shows that the population aged 60 and above accounts for more than 20% of the rural population in China.
So roughly speaking, there are about 654.38 billion people aged 60 and over in rural areas, and this part of the population has become a part of people who are called by experts to go to the county to buy a house.
The city has ushered in a "retirement tide", while the countryside is still "suffering".
Compared with the town's discussion about whether the pension is enough, people in rural areas are concerned about the food price this year. Can you sell a kilo of grain for a few cents more?
