With the extension of human life expectancy, many countries have postponed the retirement age. For example, in the United States, the retirement age has been raised from 65 to 67, and now it is 6 1 in South Korea, and it will be raised to 65 in 2033, so delaying retirement is an inevitable trend. However, there are two different voices in the delayed retirement society, one is against and the other is for.
People who oppose delayed retirement
1, manual workers
For those who are engaged in manual labor in the production line all the year round, because their physical strength is getting worse and worse with age, they are often unable to do the job. Even in recent years, my health is getting worse and worse, and I usually need to take medicine to maintain my health. These people want to retire early and enjoy their old age.
2, laid-off workers
For those laid-off workers, it is more and more difficult to find jobs because of their low academic qualifications, lack of professional skills and getting older, and usually there are few economic sources. Such people also want to retire early, so that the pension they receive can greatly reduce their life pressure.
3. Flexible employees
People with flexible employment usually do whatever they want, and their jobs are always unstable. Usually it is a state of working for a few days and resting for a few days. Therefore, such people generally can't pay the endowment insurance, and even if they do, they can't reach 15 years. As we get older, it becomes more and more difficult to find a job. All of us are facing financial problems and of course want to retire as soon as possible.
People who support delayed retirement
1, mental worker
For people engaged in mental work, at the age of 60, their physical condition is generally good, and mental work does not require too much physical strength. Moreover, for mental work, the older you get, the more popular you are. For example, old experts and Chinese medicine practitioners are often experienced and well paid. These people don't want to retire early, because the working environment is good and the salary is high, so they are willing to work for a few more years.
2. Business leaders
For those who have worked hard in the workplace for most of their lives, they have been promoted to leadership positions step by step by virtue of their own personal abilities. It seems a great pity if they retire as soon as they reach the age of 60. Their years of hard work seem to come to nothing at once. It is useless to accumulate work experience for so many years, so such people don't want to retire at the age of 60.
Why delay retirement?
Because of the aging population, the labor force is gradually decreasing, and the number of elderly people is much larger than that of young people. After retirement, the labor force will naturally decrease, which will have a certain impact on economic development. Therefore, the country opens the second child policy to alleviate the phenomenon of aging population and labor shortage, but it will take some time, and delaying retirement can effectively solve such problems.
New proposal-flexible retirement system
The flexible retirement system is widely accepted, after the trade union put forward in the new proposal that moderate flexibility should be adhered to under the framework of implementing the gradual delayed retirement policy, that is, the flexible retirement system. So what exactly is flexible retirement? These two types of people may be able to "retire early" under the flexible retirement system!
1, freely choose the retirement age.
That is to say, when employees reach the age of 60-65, if they find that they have physical problems, they are no longer suitable for this kind of work and do not want to continue to increase their physical burden because of their work, then employees can freely choose their retirement age. This phenomenon also exists in some developed countries. In some countries, the legal retirement age is 67, but employees can apply for early retirement after 62.
2. Special jobs can lead to early retirement.
For those special jobs, it is often not suitable for delaying retirement at all, because people who work in these jobs often reach the age of 60, and their physical strength and energy can't keep up, so they can't continue to be competent for this job. These special jobs can be retired early. For example, people who have been engaged in high altitude and high temperature, heavy physical strength and underground work for a long time have relatively high work intensity and high requirements for physical strength and energy.
Benefits of delayed retirement
Delayed retirement is an inevitable trend, which has many advantages. First, delaying retirement can give full play to the role of senior talents and avoid wasting talents. Delayed retirement can also increase the creation of social wealth and effectively alleviate the problem of providing for the aged. This part of people who delay retirement often have rich work experience, so their wages are generally higher, which can improve their quality of life. It can also greatly alleviate the phenomenon of labor shortage, let experienced workers work longer hours and create more wealth, which is beneficial to production and economic development.
