who should be responsible for our old people? Who should be responsible for our old people?

One of the worst challenging

problem

Suggestion

problems

of today's society is the question who should be responsible for our old people. It's not only a financial

problem

but

also

a question of the system we want our society to have. In my essay I would like to tour different models.

Firstly

, the company can be responsible for their retired employees. For

this

reason, a special fund could be established. The advantage of

this

model

is, if

you

of you or yourself

your

belief in the capitalist system, that it should be the cheapest

solution

. A possible

problem

is that the companies might have competitive disadvantage due to higher staff costs. A

second

solution

is that the government has

to

Suggestion

for

sale the responsibility for

the old

Suggestion

older

people's care. It can finance

this

with its tax incomes. Actually,

this

is the most democratic

model

since everybody gets as much money as he or she needs. Unfortunately, as the present situation in our country shows,

this

solution

seems not to work very well. The government can no longer afford

supporting

Suggestion

to support

all the old peoples. Another way of solving

this

problem

is to give back the responsibility

to

Suggestion

of

the individual. That means that everybody must save money during their working life for the time after their achievement.

This

seems to be not a very fair

model

because

their

in or at that place

there

will certainly exist people who can't afford to save part of their salary. In

this

case the government would have to care for them. A

last

Suggestion

lasting

solution

is to go back to the old

model

of the "big family" who cares for all their members. I could think

this

is possible in our

days

Suggestion

day

society because the family structures have so much changed. To sum up, I must admit that I can't find a

really

Suggestion

real

good

solution

for

this

problem

. All models have advantages and disadvantages. Certainly, we have to think about

this

topic much more in the future.
