Some think that governments should support retired people financially while others believe they should take care of themselves. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

Retired people have been increasing in numbers, nowadays.

This

stage of life is believed to be given

support

financially by the

government

,

however

, there are others who think that they need to finance their needs and should not expect any

government

assistance. Both of these views need to be discussed

further

as I believed that these retired individuals are important members of the

society

and should be given

support

from authorities for as long as they need them. Many of the retired people are receiving

pensiones

a regular payment to a person that is intended to allow them to subsist without working

This

support

sometimes comes from the

government

’s insurance system if they had worked

such

as public teachers, soldiers, and other

office employees. In

this

regard, it is axiomatic that the

government

should

support

retired people because they had rendered service for a period of time. Meanwhile, there are retired people who were not able to establish financial security at their old age. These are the ones who worked menial jobs, or unfit to work at all. In

this

case, there are

government

authorities who make sure that these individuals are taken care of under a social service unit. Rendering care to these people is a

responsibility in order to build a humane

society

.

However

, a part of the

society

is not keen on the idea of

government

helping the retired ones.

This

is due to the fact that some of them are still physically and mentally able to work. Others

also

claim that their families, especially children should take responsibility for financing their needs.

For instance

, in Filipino culture, the elderly are well supported by their family members and some

children even

as medical care. All these being said, the

government

needs to allocate budget for social services to retired persons who do not have any

support

from private sectors or their own families. These retired members of the

society

have rendered in their own way a service to their nation and

thus

should be respected and supported in their needs.
