Imagine that you have worked hard all your life, paid your pension on time every month, and looked forward to a secure old age after retirement. But, suddenly, one day, the government tells you that your pension may not be enough. What disturbing news!
Recognizing the seriousness of the problem, the Korea government has proposed a reform plan to increase the contribution rate from 9% to 13%. This is a bold move and the first reform since 1998. In this way, they hope that the pension will last longer.
However, this reform package is not without controversy. Some fear that increasing the contribution rate will increase the burden on young people and affect their quality of life. Others are concerned that even with higher contributions, pension sustainability remains a problem.
Seeing the news, Chinese netizens not only became worried
Netizens have said that some people have received too much
There are also netizens who have begun to take precautions
In China, the news has also caused widespread discussion. Chinese netizens began to worry about what would happen to China if a developed country such as Korea faced such a problem. After all, China is also facing the problem of an aging population.
