In today's society, is it still reliable to raise children to prevent old age?

Not reliable, so unreliable, it is impossible to rely on children to support the elderly, only on their own money.

People used to be short-lived. 60 years old is called birthday, waiting for old age, waiting for children and grandchildren to serve.

It's different now. With the progress of society, people's life expectancy has also increased relatively. We are 60 years old, and we are still very young. It is no problem to shine again 15 years.

The problem is that you are old at 60. Nowadays, people are idle at home waiting for their sons and daughters-in-law to serve them, and they don't know what they will be scolded for. Generally speaking, if a 60-year-old person doesn't have a job, he will usually help his children take care of them and continue to exert the waste heat. This is also a job, and there is no such thing as relying entirely on my son to support the elderly.

In today's society, it is already a snicker that my son is not old and wants to rely on his children to provide for the elderly. Don't be naive.

The life pressure of China people is too great, especially ordinary men. If they want to get married and have children before the age of 30, they must prepare houses, cars and tickets, otherwise who will marry you? These three things are basically impossible for young people who have just graduated for a few years. What can we do? We can only rely on our parents to take out some savings to support us.

The son has to pay back the loan after marriage, and the daughter-in-law has to raise the child after giving birth. Money is needed everywhere. Seeing that his son is under such great pressure, as a parent, if he is still strong, he will generally help him, such as helping him cook with his children or providing financial support. This situation may last for more than ten years. What can we say about "raising children to prevent old age" in this case?

Even if "raising children for old age" means that you are old, unfortunately ill in bed and need someone to serve you, then your son can be of great use. Please don't be naive. If my son has this filial piety, he can't do it. He must earn money. What about his family life? For those old people, he can only hire a care worker or something, which is the most suitable arrangement.

So nowadays, "raising children to prevent old age" is already a joke, and it is really redundant to discuss whether it is reliable or not.
