If we talk about India's enemies, then the names of China and Pakistan will come to everyone's lips. But now there is no such spark between these two. Pakistan is going through a period of poverty. Now the news is coming that more than 30 crore population of China has become old. It is estimated that by 2035 the number of people above 60 years of age will be 40 crore and by 2050 it will be 50 crore. If we look at the figures, then half of China's population will be walking with the help of a stick at that time. Seeing this, the government is unable to think of any solution. China repeatedly provokes India, if this situation continues, then how will it fight the war?
China's government agency Xinhua said that President Xi Jinping's condition has worsened after seeing the increasing population of the elderly. On Thursday, he instructed all his workers and officials to take care of these elderly people. Jinping said - We have to protect them at all costs. Leave everything and focus on their needs. Help at every level.
Why did this situation arise?
To control the growing population, China implemented the One Child Policy for decades. This reduced the birth rate. However, later this law had to be changed and the Two-Child Policy was introduced. When the situation worsened, the 3 Child Policy has now been implemented. This means that couples can now have 3 children. China is also giving many kinds of gifts to such people. It is helping them with money. Despite this, the birth rate continues to decline.
Why is there a crisis due to old age?
In China, the elderly live at the mercy of the government. It is the government's responsibility to provide them with health facilities, food items, and other essential goods. But they do not earn anything, so the money is being spent only on them. Pension expenses are increasing. The situation is such that the pension fund is on the verge of ending.
What measures is China taking?
- Recently China has increased the retirement age of men from 60 years to 63 years. The retirement age of women has been increased from 55 years to 58 years. Working people are very angry with this.
- Many types of incentives are being given to couples to have three children. Their children are also being given many facilities from schools to hospitals.
What do experts say
Huang Wenzheng, director of the Beijing-based Yuan Population Research Institute, said, "This is a very scary moment. China's pension pool is drying up. If the birth rate does not increase now, the situation will become even worse. Our army will also become old. The working population will become old."
