Our senior people are our blessing because we reach out for them when wisdom is sought and to learn from their life experiences. While it appears that most of the civilized countries develop programs to protect and support them after they get older, the responsibility of securing funds allocated to finance these programs and ensure their sustainability remains debatable between the government and the families of these individuals. In my case, I am in favour of the opinion claiming that the government is the party accountable for allocating budgets for
such
initiatives for many reasons which are briefed below.
The
first
and most important one which dictates that governments should sponsor the elderly in their
last
days is gratitude and compensation for their long journey in contributing to their country. Most of them have worked hard through the
first
five or six decades of their lives and now it is their turn to rest and be serviced delicately.
Moreover
, all these senior homes will be abiding governmental regulations and laws with respect to quality of living and care needed.
Also
, these individuals have paid their dues to the system as for their pension and taxation,
therefore
they should naturally eligible for
such
secure lifestyle in their fall years.
For example
, having a clear and visible paths on how all the taxes and pension related expenses will aid in securing
such
proper life for these persons.
Secondly
,
although
countries must secure their senior citizens for their remaining days, each individual's family can contribute to improving their relatives' life experience. Knowing that each father would be paying for his, his spouse's, and his children's pensions, he can
also
help in supporting and upgrading his parents/grandparents remaining period.
Nevertheless
, we should not forget that communities are built through contribution and collaboration between its individuals,
therefore
each family supporter would be contributing based on his capabilities after providing the vital daily expenses, medical support, and his kids' education tuitions.
For example
, their share might be arranging for a gathering at the location where the grandfather is living in order to make him feel like home with all his family surrounding him and make him feel proud while living among his peers.
In conclusion, decent country's officials can formulate different laws and programs in order to ensure the well being of their country's residents through their late ages. These terms will ensure the existence of
such
finances and preserve the human right to continue to live decently.
