Is it because there are few people that the only child is under great pressure to provide for the aged?

Only child. The pressure of providing for the aged is really due to the shortage of people. But there is a more important factor. That is. Parents of the only child. The income is not very high. Many old people have retired. Their monthly income is about. About 3000 to 4000 yuan.

Both husband and wife are only children. They must take care of themselves and their children. I have to take care of four old people. Your husband and wife. Their parents add up. Just four old people. With the growth of age, it is most suitable for the elderly. Physical and other aspects will have such and such problems. Once there is a disease. Hospitalization. Or ... the old man is paralyzed. When the situation arises. Couples who are only children really can't take care of them. One is that they have to take care of it. Your own child. The other two are going out to work. Otherwise, the family income will be lost. And then there's no way to support the elderly. Pensions without an economic foundation. That's unrealistic. Especially now. The cost of treatment in hospitals is relatively high. And ... people say. You can hire someone to take care of the elderly. The cost of hiring a care worker is about 7000 to 1 ten thousand yuan per month. Some even exceed 1 10,000 yuan. Some old people have retired. Their pensions are not very high either. There you are. About 5000 yuan, and some even only 3000 yuan. So ... the old man's own income is completely insufficient. It can only be supplemented by only-child couples. Now most people. No creature is that tall. So it's hard to maintain. The cost of hiring nursing staff and the medical expenses of hospitalization for the elderly. Received medical expenses. Although Old people may have health insurance. But in hospitals in our country. There are many. Medication is not a medical insurance drug. Not within the scope of reimbursement. Therefore, medical insurance can only reimburse most of it, and a small part is needed. The old man bears it himself. Then the money has invisibly caused great pressure on the only-child couple. Therefore, the pressure on the only child to support the elderly is great. Shortage of manpower is only one factor. There are many other factors. For example. The income of four old people is not much. And now. Medical expenses. Very high. And then there is. Hire a nanny. Now It also needs a lot of money to take care of it. In a word, these problems are the reasons that cause the pressure of the only child to provide for the aged.
