In the past, living until old age and learning until old age is an inevitable experience in life. And in the future, perhaps "living until old age and working until old age" is a new trend.
We can find that at this stage, there are more and more middle-aged and elderly people who still choose to "work" in . These middle-aged and elderly people are either retired or are about to retire, and are still on the road to "working".
Many people don’t understand. People should enjoy the joy of family life in their old age. Why do they still need to work now?
The very realistic problem is that your children are likely to be unable to support you in their old age, and your savings in your later years are not enough. In order to relieve the pressure on children and to subsidize the family, I can only drag my elderly body to work.
The so-called "Life is not easy, and I am uneasy in my old age." In the face of life, everyone must lower their proud heads and still walk farther and farther on the busy road.
As the aging gradually intensifies, this kind of situation of "people still work in their old age" will become more and more common. Some people even joked that they may have to work until they are 60 or 70 years old in the future. This is also possible.
When the number of elderly people is larger, the pressure on elderly care increases. In this way, most people need to find another way out.

Let’s think about a question: Which generation of people will become the first generation of “working until old”?
60's post-luck is pretty good. Although they are in an aging environment, the degree of aging is not too high, and their pension pressure is not too great. All the post-60s generations such as
have retired, and the aging has reached a new level. At that time, the pension pressure that the post-70s generation will face will not be so easy, so they will also have to work to make money and support themselves.
is compiled according to data from the National Bureau of Statistics:
First, in the 1960s, the number of births reached 239 million, and in the next 1970s, it reached nearly 217 million;
Second, in this wave of "retirement wave", more than 20 million people retire every year;
Third, around 2035, the elderly population aged 60 and above in China will exceed 400 million.
Just imagine, the birth rate is intensifying and aging is gradually becoming more prominent, so won’t the pressure of pension be greater? What's more, the inverse volume of young people in is intensifying, and they can't even support themselves, so how can they talk about supporting their parents?
has a very helpless reality, has many rural post-70s generations. Their children generally cannot afford to buy houses, cars, and even get married. , will not that lonely life become a reality?
If there are several houses in the city, the problem is not big. Some people born in the 1970s can empty their family’s assets and help their children buy a house without a house. In the end, they lost even their savings, so what should they do in their later years?

All questions point to one answer, that is, "continue to work".
There are many middle-aged and elderly people in rural areas who still make hard money in order to reduce the burden on their children, and they are in the sun and rain without any complaints. Even for middle-aged and elderly people in the city, there are many people who work as cashiers, cleaners or security guards.
Some time ago, a retired aunt was still washing dishes in the employee canteen. Someone was puzzled and asked her a question: "You are in your sixties and are not enjoying your life at home, so why do you still wash dishes outside?"
Aunt only said one sentence: "My children are also under a lot of pressure. They are exhausted when raising a child. How can they have money and time to take care of me, an old man? People, they have to rely on themselves when they are old."
In the future, those born in the 1970s who have no assets will most likely face this problem: six wallets are empty, and the deposits are not enough, and their children are still in debt, so they can only go out to work and make money.
Of course, if you are an employee who serves as a job, then the problem is not big, and you can still live a stable life. But how many people are employees who serve as a job? Most people are actually ordinary people who work outside.
Sometimes, they work hard all their lives outside, and they are not really thinking of living such a life. , it's just because life is forced to do this.

When talking about this, I remembered this law - the law of elimination in the workplace at the age of 35.
Some people will say that many people are eliminated by the workplace at the age of 35 and cannot even find a job. How can they work until they are old?
In recent years, it has become more and more common for middle-aged people to deliver food, drive online car-hailing or express delivery. They are all in these low-threshold industries, as young as young People compete.
For ordinary people, low-threshold industries are also internal industries. In short, in order to make money, ordinary people need to live until they are old, "cumbling" until they can't work.
We just need to look at the elderly in Japan and South Korea. Aging is so serious in Japan and South Korea, and more than 30% of the elderly over 65 years old are still working. There is no way to do it.
Ten young people raise an elderly person, which is a small problem; a young person raises an elderly person, although Although the pressure is high, it can still be done. It is difficult for a couple to support four or five elderly people.
is the same as drinking water. This well can solve the problem of drinking water for ten people. Now, with one hundred people coming, the "involvement" intensifies and the competition will become greater and greater.
can only say that if the post-70s generation can encounter opportunities to make money, hurry up and accumulate money. The elderly in severe aging environment is not easy.
