Chapter 60, The Problem That Does Not Exist

The content of the government meeting soon appeared in the newspapers. Of course, the inheritance tax was deleted. Ferdinand didn't want to do anything!

Now everyone is concerned about pensions. How can we establish a long-term and stable pension system?

The pension systems of European countries have all been taken out and flogged. No matter which country's system, they are only considering short-term problems. Once an aging society comes, it will face a funding gap.

Unlike other countries, Bulgaria's traditional strength is still strong, and the current pension system relies on children to support the elderly.

There are also some people who have a retirement salary, of course, this is only a minority. Usually it is only the great hero of the enterprise. After retirement, the capitalists will pay a certain pension to buy people's hearts. Ordinary people should not think about it.

The window paper has been pierced, and many people are trying to figure out how long the pension insurance will last. The final conclusion is not optimistic. In the future, we can only rely on government funding.

Many scholars have proposed that with the improvement of medical and health conditions, everyone's lifespan will be longer and longer, and in the future society, there will be a social status quo in which four and five generations live together.

Once the pension system collapses, then the 60-year-old will need to support the 80-year-old, and the 80-year-old may still have a centenarian alive.

That's right, according to the most pessimistic estimates, by the 1950s, Bulgaria's average life expectancy will exceed 80 years. In the 21st century, it will not be a problem for the average life expectancy to exceed 90 years. In the future, the conjecture that the average life expectancy will exceed 100 years has also been raised. come out.

At the same time, it is also proposed that with the deepening of industrialization, the birth rate of the population will gradually decline, and the number of the elderly will exceed the number of young people, which is also just around the corner.

The Population Administration also released a set of survey data. Taking Britain and France as examples, after entering the industrialized society, the birth rate has been declining year by year.

With more than 20% of the country's annual financial investment,

This situation has not yet occurred in Bulgaria, but whether this investment can be sustained is also a question.

The whole society is hotly discussing this issue, and even the international media joins in the fun. Many people suddenly realize that their pension system may collapse in the future, and governments around the world have to stand up to refute the rumors.

Politicians know that no one can tell what will happen in the future, as long as it doesn't explode during their tenure.

In order to establish a permanent pension system, some people even proposed to print money and let the whole society bear this figure through currency devaluation, and then people were quickly speechless.

Playing currency devaluation in the gold standard era, idiots will do it! Anyone with a little common sense knows that currency is not one-to-one with gold, which also includes the existence of government credit!

It's not that you print 10% of the currency that will depreciate it by 10%. In fact, it will cause the collapse of the credit system, and it may even depreciate by 50% or 60%!

The pension system has not been established for a long time. On the contrary, the social assistance system has been established very smoothly, with full government funding, and the actual expenditure is not much.

There are very few people who meet the criteria, there is a precondition that they have contributed to Bulgaria, have no moral criminal record, (i.e. have committed a crime in the law, and violated morality) and are in financial difficulties, and their children are powerless undertake pension obligations.

According to the statistics of the Population Administration, people who meet this condition will not exceed four figures.

The main reason is that there are not many elderly people. Many people are over 60 years old, but they have not lost the labor force. Now the whole country is short of labor force. Naturally, the government has not enacted a law for compulsory retirement. Many people will work in a company to death.

Under the traditional force, these old employees are the heroes of the enterprise. For the sake of reputation, the capitalists usually cannot dismiss them casually.

In addition, most Bulgarians have many children, and it is rare that a few children do not have the ability to support the elderly.

After looking at the data carefully, Ferdinand came to a strange conclusion that the pension problem in Bulgaria basically does not exist!

Among the more than 2 million elderly people in their 60s, more than 90 percent are still struggling. They still have their own jobs and can support themselves.

The people who really retire are mainly engaged in heavy manual labor. And this part just doesn't meet the standard of receiving pension!

Born and raised in Bulgaria, most of them served in the army when they were young. Many of them have made military exploits. Not to mention those who are eligible to receive military exploits, they all have property and do not have pension problems.

Even ordinary people have a military status. Most of the companies they professionally place are with relatively good economic benefits. Even if they become unemployed again, they can seek help from the government and find employment again.

Their social status is very high, and most of them work locally. For these people, it is impossible for the capitalists to dismiss them without reason, so as long as they do their duty, they will hardly lose their jobs.

The real ones who get out after a few years are still immigrants. When they get Bulgarian citizenship, it’s okay for them to be young, mainly because they are older, and capitalists simply won’t sign long-term employment contracts.

These talents are the last unemployed army, but most of them do not contribute enough to the country and are not eligible to receive pensions.

If it weren't for the outbreak of the World War, Ferdinand recruited a large number of soldiers among the immigrants. It is estimated that this situation would be much more serious. Because of the factors of the World War, millions of local tyrants were born in Bulgaria.

Although their land has not been fully developed, it is still possible to support their family. When the children are rich, the parent's pension problem naturally does not need the state.

Not only Ferdinand could come to this conclusion, but there are also many smart people in Bulgaria. As the discussion continued, these data were published in newspapers.

Even those who advocate the establishment of a pension system are collectively misfired.

Those who are eligible to receive pensions do not have pension problems; those who have pension problems are not eligible to receive pensions!

In the end, experts and scholars came to a conclusion that in Bulgaria, if you pay, you will be rewarded, and the pension problem is not a current social problem!

Then, everyone started to study again, and the employment system of Bulgarian enterprises is even more surprising.

Many people, more than 50% of Bulgarians, have worked in a company all their lives. Many elderly people insist not to retire, and there are not a few who are left by the company to clean and guard the door.

Career life! Well, this is not the creation of Ferdinand. It has appeared in many places before this. In traditional family businesses, there is no such thing as retirement.

Before the development of the capitalist economy, many people worked for a family for generations. For example, Ferdinand's subordinates have many people who have served the Kohari family for several generations, including the servants he uses now, Guards, housekeepers, etc., these people have been mixed with his ancestors for generations.

Their ability may not be the strongest, but the victory lies in their loyalty. The whole family follows them, and they have been brainwashed for hundreds of years. How could he not reuse them?

It is also a problem that the company has a lifetime system for employees. On the one hand, the Bulgarian labor law prohibits layoffs without reason. On the other hand, under the influence of traditional forces, people are reluctant to change jobs.

Regardless of whether such an employment mechanism is good or bad, at least many social problems no longer exist.

Taking the lead is powerful. Ferdinand's companies have done this, and other capitalists have followed suit. In addition, the ancestors used people like this, so it is not surprising for everyone.

The research results of sociologists show that the question of the enterprise's employment mechanism promotes the stability of the whole society; this stable social form promotes the development of the economy, and finally denies the enterprise.

Economists hold the opposite view. They believe that such a fixed employment model fails to bring out the vitality of the enterprise and stimulate the potential of individuals, which is not conducive to maximizing the benefits of the enterprise.

Which of these two views is correct is still under debate. Ferdinand now finally understands why there have been no general strikes in Bulgaria.

On the one hand, the salary level in Bulgaria is not low, and everyone can live a good life; (the standard is basically set by him, other companies can only follow the trend, and naturally it will not be too low.)

On the other hand, I have been working in a company all my life, and I am an old employee. Many problems can be discussed directly with the boss. The capitalists in Bulgaria are not so vicious in this era, and many problems can be discussed by everyone.

As long as it is not forced, who will follow the strike? Your company's bad treatment doesn't mean other companies' treatment is not good, right? It's a big deal, you jump ship!

After a long time, everyone has feelings for the company, and we only hope that the company will get better and better, so that everyone's jobs will be guaranteed. It's impossible for them to make a big deal out of sympathy for your experience and ruin their own jobs, right?

After figuring out this problem, Ferdinand's worries disappeared all of a sudden, and now no matter what kind of thinking, it is difficult to make an impact after entering Bulgaria.

As long as his companies are stable, Bulgarian society will be stable. If society is stable, will anyone still want to rebel?

The issue of establishing a pension system is still hotly debated, but the topic has gone off the rails, arguing and arguing about the superiority of the Bulgarian system.

Even topics from all over Europe were brought here. Many international media criticized Bulgaria's conservative system, which is not in line with the times.

The Bulgarian media, on the other hand, slammed them for their immorality and their focus on money. Bulgarian Daily also published an article, it doesn't matter if it does not conform to the Times exhibition, as long as it conforms to the Bulgarian exhibition.

The London Daily accused Bulgaria's life-long employment, restricting the development of enterprises, and letting the elderly continue to work, which is even more inhumane.

The Sofia Evening News, on the other hand, produced a set of survey data, proving that this is a voluntary act of others. Many people have a good family background and can retire long ago, but they are unwilling to retire from the show. This is their freedom.

I don't know if it was a free Ferdinand, but after the retirement of Marshal Popov of Bulgaria, he actually started a shoe repair and repaired shoes on the street, which surprised him.

After figuring out the situation, Ferdinand couldn't help laughing and crying. It was a childhood dream. Now that he has retired, he naturally wants to realize his dream.

There is more than one case of this kind of strange thing. What are these aristocrats doing now? In addition to shoe repairers, there are also chefs and blacksmiths who have changed careers. hands-on.

Don't give them any reason, just do what you want, they have the willful capital, and they are free to do whatever they want.

First, the Bulgarian media and the London media competed in the air, and soon the European media were involved, supporting the views of both sides, almost equally.

Anyway, as we all know, newspapers can only sell well when there are topics of concern to the public. As for whether the opinion is correct or not, the result of the argument is not important.

Then, the most famous Marshal Popov became famous again. Unlike before, now he is famous for his freedom of life. Before he knew it, he became a representative of the liberals!

As an alternative among the aristocracy, Bulgarian aristocrats have also entered the world. Those who support them think that they are aristocrats of the new era, who seem to be the representatives of free life, while the opponents think that they are cancers among the aristocracy.

Many old-fashioned nobles also protested to Ferdinand, demanding that their titles be abolished, and that they should not be allowed to tarnish the honor of the noble class!

Well, after receiving such a strange request, Ferdinand directly chose to ignore it. What era is this, and he still can't see the situation clearly, so he actually wants to point the country?

Although Ferdinand also believed that their behavior was a bit strange and unacceptable, but it was their own choice, and they did not violate the laws of Bulgaria, so they were too lazy to care.

In the midst of the controversy, the issue of pensions was finally ignored by everyone.

Those who can receive pensions do not need pensions; those who need pensions are not eligible for pensions!

So why build a pension now? There is absolutely no need to waste the government's precious administrative resources and increase the burden on young people!

In a responsible attitude, the officials of the Population Administration once again conducted a questionnaire on the elderly, of course, the scope of the survey is limited to those who are eligible for pensions.

The final survey results show that most people are not interested in pensions, they say they have the ability to support themselves and do not want to be a burden to society!

Then there is no more, even they themselves are not interested, Ferdinand will naturally not be interested, this issue will be discussed in the future!
