Expert: It is not appropriate to raise farmers' pension.

At present, the pension received by rural residents comes from the endowment insurance for urban and rural residents, which consists of basic pension and individual pension. At present, the national basic pension is paid in 93 yuan every month, and the low basic pension makes most farmers' pension only 100 yuan, which is a problem for this farmer.

Increase rural pensions in more places, with a monthly increase of 10 yuan.

Of course, the development of things will not depend on the will of an expert. In recent years, the rural basic pension has risen from 58 yuan to 93 yuan every month, and at the same time, the provinces and cities are also rising. Residents in the highest rural areas in Shanghai receive a basic pension of 1.300 yuan per month, and an individual pension of 1.500 yuan or above per month;

At the beginning of 2023, many provinces have raised the pensions of urban and rural residents, and the amount of increase in most areas is 10 yuan per month.

In 2023, the work report of Henan provincial government clearly stated that the pension for urban and rural residents should be raised while the pension for urban retirees should be maintained. The rural residents' pension will be raised from 1 yuan in 2023 to 10 yuan. After the increase, rural residents over the age of 60 can receive the basic pension every month 123 yuan.

Old farmers: the pension of 100 yuan, after increasing 100 yuan, is it enough for farmers to provide for the elderly?

Raising money is a good thing, but netizens and farmers are not satisfied, and there are even many sarcastic voices on the Internet. According to statistics, there are currently 80 million dependent people in China, and the required expenses account for 40% of the annual tax revenue. This 80 million idle people can afford it. Why only 100 farmers can't afford it, and 10 and 8 yuan have been added?

At the same time, according to the average pension for urban retirees in 2022, the per capita pension will be 3,000 to 4,000 yuan, increasing by 100 to 4,500 yuan per year. The gap between urban and rural areas is as high as 20 times, but the annual increase in money is higher than all farmers' pensions. Why is it financially affordable?

Some experts mentioned that because farmers have industries, such as land, such as homesteads. Farmers can be self-sufficient, so they don't need pensions. But is this really the case? Farmers who should have retired and enjoyed their family life will have to work in the fields when they are 70 or 80 years old. If they can move, what can they do?
