Is 77 an old man?

Now China has entered an aging society. The data shows that the number of elderly people over 60 in China exceeds 1 100 million, accounting for 18%. According to experts' prediction, by 2025, the elderly population in China will exceed 300 million. With the arrival of an aging society in China, the state pays special attention to the elderly population. In addition to increasing pensions for retirees every year, many areas also give holiday subsidies to the elderly on holidays. Therefore, the living standards of the elderly in China are constantly improving.

In addition to the above-mentioned treatment enjoyed by the elderly, many elderly people may not know that the "old age subsidy" is coming in 2022. At present, 30 provinces in China have established old age allowance. However, each province and city has different standards and payment amounts for the elderly.

For example, the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region stipulates that people over 77 years old are considered as elderly people, and those under 77 years old are not considered as elderly people. According to the regulations, the elderly under 90 years old in Inner Mongolia can receive 100 yuan per month, and the elderly between 90 and 99 years old can receive 300 yuan allowance per month. At the same time, centenarians can receive 600 yuan every month.

There are also some economically developed provinces and cities that set lower standards for the elderly and provide more subsidies. For example, Shenzhen stipulates that as long as you are 70 years old, you can receive the old age allowance. 70-80 years old can get 200 yuan's allowance every month. For centenarians, they can receive a monthly subsidy of 1 1,000 yuan, which is more than 1 10,000 yuan a year.

In addition, in Beijing, centenarians can get 800 yuan's old age allowance every month, which is nearly 10,000 yuan a year. Moreover, if the elderly are low-income households, they can get more subsidies from 300 yuan than the average elderly.

In this regard, many people may find it strange that our country does not raise the pension for the elderly every year. Why should we give the elderly extra pension subsidies? In this regard, we believe that the main reasons are as follows:

First, the elderly generally retire early, so even though the pension has gone up 18, because the pension base is relatively low, the income is still not as good as that of the elderly who just retired now. In order to narrow the income gap and improve the quality of life of the elderly, the state gives subsidies to the elderly, which can also reduce the economic burden of some elderly children.

Second, with the continuous growth of age, the expenditure of the elderly on medical care, health care and nursing is also increasing. For example, some elderly people have various chronic diseases and often need to see a doctor and take medicine, which will greatly increase the medical expenses. There are also some elderly people who are inconvenient to move, need nurses and nannies to take care of them, and need fees. Allowances for the elderly are subsidies for their expenses in these areas.

In 2022, the "old age subsidy" came. Different provinces and cities have different standards and subsidies for the elderly. Some provinces set the standard for the elderly at over 70 years old, while others set the standard for the elderly at over 77 years old. Some provinces give 100 yuan to the elderly every month, and some economically developed areas give 1000 yuan to the elderly every month. In short, all localities have formulated the standards for granting subsidies according to their own actual conditions, which also reflects the concern of local governments for the elderly. I hope that the old people will live a happier and healthier life in their later years.
