Bulgarian Empire

Chapter 60, The Problem That Doesn't Exist

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

Now everyone's concerns are focused on pensions. How can we establish a long-term and stable pension system?

The pension systems of European countries have all been whipped to death. No matter which country's system, they are only considering short-term issues. Once the aging society comes, they will face a funding gap.

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

There are also some people who have retirement wages. 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 torn, and many people are calculating how many years the pension insurance can last. The final conclusion is not optimistic, and the future can only rely on government funding.

Many scholars have proposed that with the improvement of medical and health conditions, everyone's life expectancy will be longer and longer, and there will be a social situation in which four generations live under one roof and five generations live under one roof in the future.

Once the pension system collapses, the 60-year-olds will need to support the 80-year-olds, and there may be centenarians alive on top of the 80s. The pressure will suddenly come, and few people can bear it!

That’s right, according to the most pessimistic estimate, by the 1950s, the average life expectancy in Bulgaria would 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 average life expectancy will exceed 100 years. come out.

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

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

This situation has not yet happened in Bulgaria with the country's annual financial investment exceeding 20%, but whether this investment can be sustained is also a question.

The whole society is discussing this issue, and even the international media is joining in the fun. Many people suddenly find out that their pension system may collapse in the future, and the governments of various countries 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 term of office.

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 soon people were speechless.

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

It is not that if you print 10% of the currency, it will depreciate 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 establishment of the social assistance system is very smooth. The government allocates all the funds, and the actual expenditure is not much.

There are very few people who meet the standard. There is a prerequisite, that is, they have made contributions to Bulgaria, they cannot have a record of moral crimes, (that is, they have committed a crime in law and violated morality), and they are in financial difficulties and their children are powerless. undertake retirement obligations.

According to the statistics of the Population Department, the number of people who meet this condition will not exceed four digits.

The main reason is that there are not many elderly people. Many people are over 60 years old, but they have not lost their labor force. Now that there is a shortage of labor force in the whole country, the government naturally has no law on mandatory retirement. Many people will work in a company until their death.

Under the power of tradition, these old employees are the heroes of the enterprise. Capitalists usually cannot dismiss them casually for the sake of reputation. At most, they can only change jobs.

And most Bulgarians have many children,

It is rare for several children to have no ability to provide for the elderly.

After carefully examining the data, Ferdinand came to a wonderful conclusion, that is, the current pension problem in Bulgaria basically does not exist!

Among the more than two million elderly people over the age of 60, more than 90% of them are still struggling. They still have their own jobs and can support themselves.

The people who have really retired are mainly engaged in heavy physical labor. When they are old, they can't do it anymore, and they have no way to complete re-employment. And most of this part just doesn't meet the standards for receiving pensions!

Most of the native Bulgarians served in the army when they were young, and many of them have made military exploits. Not to mention those who are eligible for military merit and receiving land, they all have property and there is no pension problem.

Even ordinary people have a military status, and most of the companies they professionally arrange are relatively economically profitable. 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. It is impossible for capitalists to dismiss these people without reason. Therefore, as long as they work according to their duties, there will be almost no unemployment.

Those who are really let go after working for a few years are still immigrants. When they obtain Bulgarian citizenship, the younger ones are fine, mainly the older ones. The capitalists will not sign long-term employment contracts at all.

This part of the talent is the last unemployed army, but most of them have not contributed enough to the country and are not eligible to receive pensions.

If it hadn't been for the outbreak of the World War, Ferdinand had recruited a large number of soldiers from among the immigrants. It is estimated that this situation would be much more serious. Because of the World War, Bulgaria gave birth to millions of local tyrants.

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

This conclusion was not only drawn by Ferdinand, but there are also many smart people in Bulgaria. As the discussion continued, these data were published by newspapers.

Even those who advocate the establishment of a pension system have collectively failed.

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. The pension issue is not the current social issue!

Then, everyone began to study again, and the employment system of enterprises in Bulgaria was even more surprising.

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

Career for life! Well, this is not the first initiative 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 served a family even for generations. For example, under Ferdinand, many people served the Kohali family for several generations, including the servants he uses now, Guards, butlers, etc., these people's ancestors have followed his ancestors for generations.

Their abilities may not be the strongest, but they are loyal. The whole family has been brainwashed for hundreds of years. How could he not reuse them?

The life-long system of enterprise employees is also a problem that cannot be solved. On the one hand, Bulgaria's labor law prohibits unreasonable layoffs. On the other hand, under the influence of traditional forces, everyone is unwilling to change jobs.

Regardless of whether this employment mechanism is good or bad, at least many social problems do not exist.

The role of leadership is powerful. The companies under Ferdinand have done this, and other capitalists have followed suit. In addition, the ancestors have employed people in this way, so everyone is not surprised.

The research results of sociologists show that the improvement of the employment mechanism of enterprises has promoted the stability of the whole society; this stable social form has promoted the development of the economy, and finally backed up the enterprises.

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

Which of these two views is correct is still under debate. Ferdinand now finally knew why there had 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, and other companies can only follow suit, so naturally it will not be too low.)

On the other hand, I have worked in a company all my life and are old employees. Many issues can be discussed directly with the boss. The capitalists in Bulgaria in this era are not so vicious, and everyone can discuss many issues.

As long as it is not forced, who will go on strike? Just because your company doesn't treat you well, doesn't mean that other companies don't treat you well, does it? It's a big deal for you to quit!

After a long time, everyone has feelings for the company, and they only hope that the company will get better and better, so that everyone's jobs can be guaranteed. It's impossible for them to sympathize with what happened to you and make things worse and ruin their jobs, right?

After figuring out this problem, Ferdinand's worries disappeared all of a sudden. Now, no matter what his thoughts are, it is difficult to cause any impact when he enters Bulgaria.

As long as his companies are stable, Bulgaria's society will be stable. If the society is stable, will anyone want to rebel?

The issue of establishing a pension system is still hotly discussed, but the topic has gone astray, and the arguing and arguing have brought up the superiority of the Bulgarian system.

Even the topic of the whole of Europe was brought up. Many international media criticized Bulgaria's conservative system, which is not in line with the development of the times.

The Bulgarian media criticized them for being morally bankrupt, and only focused on money. The Bulgarian Daily also published an article saying that it doesn't matter if it doesn't conform to the development of the times, as long as it conforms to the development of Bulgaria.

The London Daily accused Bulgaria of lifelong employment, which limits the development of enterprises, and it is inhumane to let the elderly continue to work.

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

I don't know if it's free Ferdinand, but after Marshal Popov of Bulgaria retired, he actually became a shoe repairer and repaired shoes on the street, which surprised him.

After figuring out the situation, Ferdinand was a little bit dumbfounded. It was his 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 happening. What do these upstart nobles do now? In addition to shoe repairers, there are also chefs and blacksmiths who have changed their careers. After returning home, most of them will farm the land by themselves. hands on.

Don't give them any reason, it's just that they are willing, they have the capital of willfulness, and they are free to do whatever they like.

First, the Bulgarian media and the London media fought across the air, and soon the European media were involved, supporting the views of both sides, which was almost evenly matched.

Anyway, everyone knows that newspapers can only sell well if there are topics that the public cares about. As for whether the point of view is correct or not, the result of the debate is not important.

Then, Marshal Popov, the most famous, became famous again. Unlike before, he was now known for his freedom of life, and before he knew it he became a representative of liberalism!

As an alternative among the nobles, Bulgaria's nouveau riche nobles also went to the world. Those who support them think that they are the nobles of the new era, who seem to be representatives of free life, while the opponents think that they are cancerous tumors among the nobles.

Many veteran nobles also protested to Ferdinand, demanding that their titles be abolished, so as not to let them, a group of scum, tarnish the honor of the noble class!

Well, after receiving such a weird 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 give advice?

Although Ferdinand also thought that their human behavior was a bit weird and unacceptable, but this was their own choice, and it did not violate Bulgarian laws, so they simply didn't bother to care about it.

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 manner, the officials of the Population Administration conducted another questionnaire survey on the elderly. Of course, the scope of the survey was limited to those who were eligible to receive 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 on society!

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