Many countries have entered an aging society. The issue of establishing a complete pension system so that the elderly can enjoy their old age is also a problem that many countries need to solve. New Zealand is an island country in the South Pacific and a developed country far away from the hustle and bustle of the world. Here, there are vast forests and pastures, the tranquil pastoral scenery in Tao Yuanming's poems, and an equal pension system for everyone. Here, the elderly can spend their remaining years in pure natural beauty and enjoy the world's advanced pension system. Now, let’s briefly introduce New Zealand’s pension system. 1. The pension system is relatively equal. New Zealand is a country where everyone is equal. Equality means equality of status. Whether you are the prime minister of a country or a beggar, you will receive the same benefits after retirement. Moreover, this equality is also equality in income, regardless of whether you had a job when you were young, how much you paid in taxes, or whether you receive benefits after retirement. Moreover, the older you are, the larger your pension will be. In addition, disabled people and military personnel who have participated in the war will also receive higher pensions. New Zealand's retirement benefits cover New Zealand permanent residents and New Zealand citizens, and they enjoy the same benefits. For example, when you have lived in New Zealand for ten years, that is, you have lived in New Zealand for ten years. No matter what you do during these ten years, as long as it is not illegal or does a menial job, after these ten years you can enjoy equality for everyone. pension benefits. The retirement age in New Zealand is over 65 years old. Retirement is only considered when you are over 65 years old! 2. Contents of New Zealand’s pension benefits. New Zealand elderly people who are over 65 years old can enjoy these pension benefits. 1 New Zealand’s pension regulations, retirement The monthly pension that the elderly receive is no less than 65% of the national average salary. According to New Zealand's average salary level in the past two years, New Zealand elderly can receive a monthly pension of at least 6,700 yuan. 2. The elderly can travel for free in New Zealand. In New Zealand, all buses, trains and ships are free for the elderly in their later years. It can be seen that the elderly can travel around New Zealand for free and live a retired life with food and security. 3. Medical treatment is free. The government fully reimburses medical treatment and medicine for the elderly in China. Moreover, this reimbursement means that you go to the hospital to see a doctor, and you get the medicine directly when you get the prescription from the pharmacy, instead of spending money first and then being reimbursed. 4. When the elderly go to university to study, the government provides interest-free loans and reimburses book fees. Elderly people in New Zealand believe that retirement at the age of 65 is their second life, and they can enjoy the life they want after retirement. Therefore, many retired people will go to college to take another course and continue to work. Therefore, many people can see many elderly people in New Zealand universities listening to lectures in classrooms, studying and reading in library study rooms. The elderly in New Zealand believe in "live until you are old and learn until you are old". 5. Retire in nursing homes with complete facilities. When New Zealand elderly retire, if they want to live by themselves at home, they can live by themselves. If they don’t want to live by themselves at home, they can go to nursing homes to care for themselves. Elderly people in New Zealand generally don't like to trouble their children in their later years, so they don't have the concept of "raising children to prepare for old age". They believe that children also have their own lives. Therefore, in your later years, you usually spend your old age with friends in a nursing home, and you may be happier if you share the same goals. There are two types of nursing homes in New Zealand. The first type is a retirement village designed for the elderly who can take care of themselves. A retirement village is better said to be a resort than a retirement village. The location of the retirement village is usually in a beautiful pasture, mountain forest or pastoral area. Take a picture with your mobile phone and you will get an excellent scenery photo. In the retirement village, the elderly can look at the endless grassland, blue sky and white clouds, and breathe fresh air. In the retirement village, equipped with the best medical equipment, caregivers, and nurses, each elderly person's living room is independent, making life convenient and private. The second type is a hospital-level nursing home. Elderly people who cannot take care of themselves usually choose nursing homes similar to hospitals. In a nursing home similar to a hospital, there will be registered nurses and caregivers on duty 24 hours a day, who can provide the elderly with bathing, dressing, chatting, feeding and other services that make the elderly happy. When an elderly person has symptoms of physical discomfort, he or she can immediately call a doctor to see the elderly person.
In New Zealand, there are very few employees who take personal leave to take care of sick elderly people, because in New Zealand hospitals, once a patient is hospitalized, all care is provided by the hospital. After the elderly are discharged from the hospital, if they have any inconveniences in life, the community will lend a helping hand to solve their children's worries. Moreover, in nursing homes, all elderly care services are equal. Such complete elderly care services are beneficial to the elderly in their old age. In New Zealand, we have never heard of the heroic act of selling one's life to save his father, nor the story of a filial son who has been waiting for an old man in the hospital bed for ten years. Due to the improvement of elderly care services in nursing homes, the elderly do not feel guilty about dragging down their younger generations and can truly enjoy their old age. Only when parents and elderly people live a happy and secure life can young people work hard in their careers! Three comments: Professional hospitals, professional elderly care services, and social volunteers provide voluntary elderly care services. This is why New Zealand has established a complete, harmonious, and mature elderly care system. Due to the improvement of the pension system, New Zealand elderly people have become the happiest elderly group in the world. As the saying goes, "The wool comes from the sheep." New Zealand's elderly people have good welfare benefits because their taxes are very high when they are young. Because New Zealand citizens pay high taxes when they are young, they will have high benefits when they retire! Moreover, New Zealand’s improved and advanced retirement benefit system is also a strategy to attract immigrants and foreign talents. Here, I hope that one day our country can create huge wealth and establish a pension system similar to New Zealand that only requires the elderly to enjoy life. At that time, people's happiness will definitely be improved!
