Some governments provide financial assistance for retired, unemployed and disabled citizens. In other countries, families provide support for these people. Discuss both systems and give your opinion about which one you think is better.

All around the world, there are different provisions of monetary help to retirees, unemployed and handicapped residents. In some states, the government provides all funding,

while

in others it is mainly an individual's and his family's responsibility to bear all expenses including medical bills, old age homes stay and even in case of any emergency. In my opinion, financial aid from the authorities makes a logical and responsible action.

However

, in

this

essay, I will discuss both these views and points in support of my belief.

Firstly

, in almost all nations, a major part of the government finance budget comes from

tax

collection which is deducted from their citizen's incomes and

this

tax

rule is uniformly applicable to all private

as well as

government jobs. In countries like Japan and Australia, almost 50 % of the income goes into

tax

which results in very less savings for the future.

Nevertheless

, these countries

also

provide back free health care, old age assistance and even free recreational homes to support unemployed and retired people.

Therefore

, people stay stress-free and do not worry about their future. 

Nevertheless

, in most developing countries, despite good

tax

collection from public funds, individual families bear all costs and concerns of their members whether retirees, unemployed or disabled. There is always a crisis and tension in

this

kind of arrangement and so even young earners worry about their retirement future which obviously affects their present health and lifestyle. A report from BBC highlighted the lowest happiness index of

such

nations as citizens are often worried about expenses. In my belief, a government-aided financial system is the right approach to support citizens who are not earning a regular income

such

as people who are retired, are not employed and are physically not fit for work.

This

system allows harmony, and happiness and avoids stress in a society.
