Recently, Polish e-commerce company Picodi.com released a survey report on pension levels in countries around the world. The report examines pension amounts in 44 countries and ranks them, including China.
From a world perspective, what is the level of pension in China?
The amount referenced in this survey report is mainly the money actually received on the account of the person who receives the pension, which is somewhat different from the pension data published by various countries.
The highest pension area in ranks first is Norway, with the amount of pension as high as 1797 euros (about 12,458 yuan).
Why can Norway rank first in pensions?
Norway's high pension is recognized worldwide, and other countries are unable to follow suit.
In the early years, Norway produced a lot of oil. In order to avoid the decline in people's guarantees after oil extraction, Norway used the money earned by oil as early as 1990 to establish a global pension fund for investment, and used money to make money. It obtained a large amount of investment income worldwide. Norway's population was not large, only 5.29 million, which is one-quarter of Beijing's population. If the money of the Norwegian pension fund was distributed to each Norwegian , the average person would receive a pension of US$190,000, which is equivalent to RMB 1.14 million per person. With tens of thousands of pensions per month, life must be very comfortable.
, and the second and third places are , Swiss 1,704 euros (about RMB 11,813), and US 1,482 euros (about RMB 10,274 yuan). As highly developed countries, the pensions of these two countries also play an important role.
China ranks at waist
Among the 44 countries surveyed, China ranks 24th with an amount of 407 euros (about RMB 2,821). This is a certain gap with the pension data given by China (about 3,300 yuan). From the ranking point of view, it is at the waist position.
, Russia, which is very similar to China's pension, obviously performed poorly, ranking sixth from the bottom, with only 174 euros (about 1,206 yuan). It can be seen that Russia's wrong decisions on pensions in recent years have also made the Russian people slightly disadvantage in retirement benefits.
Ukraine ranks last
The three worst pension areas are Albanian (128 euros), Moldova (128 euros) and Ukraine (110 euros).
Ukraine ranks last, which is not surprising. Ukraine's pension system has always been criticized.
Due to serious aging, coupled with continuous wars and various problems in state management, Ukrainian pensions have long been insufficient. Ukrainian Prime Minister Shimigaer once revealed to the outside world that retirees in the country can only receive pensions of 10 to 15 years at most, and the country's government will not be able to continue to provide basic guarantees for the elderly.
In order to make up for the shortcomings of pensions, Ukraine has introduced many pension policies that are not very friendly to the people, such as increasing the pension threshold and extending the payment time. By 2028, Ukrainian elderly people have to pay at least 35 years if they want to receive pensions, and the payment period of 35 years can only receive 40% of the minimum wage standard, about 600 yuan of pensions, which is very small. There is also a limit on the maximum amount of pension, with the upper limit being 4,000 yuan. Even the first Ukraine president complained on social media that his pension was only more than 4,000.
Compared with that, China's pension system is very smooth, and it has not encountered the pension dilemma of Russia and Ukraine, and it can ensure growth at a certain proportion every year. For a long time in the future, there is no problem of paying it on time and in full. Of course, China's pensions also have a certain room for growth. In recent years, the country has been continuously improving the pensions of the "three pillars" and China's retirement benefits will only get better and better in the future.
