Early retirement may seem like a worthy individual goal,but it is a socially__3__one,and makes the present public pension system difficult to sustain for long.

總體分析
本文主要討論了老齡化給經(jīng)合組織國家現(xiàn)存養(yǎng)老體系帶來的挑戰(zhàn)。文章第一段指出老齡化給經(jīng)合組織國家?guī)淼奶魬?zhàn),并提出推遲退休可能對解決該問題有所幫助。第二段分析了早退休給養(yǎng)老體系帶來的問題,即越來越多的人早退休而壽命延長,隨著出生率的降低,就會有更多退休的人依靠更少工作的人來為他們養(yǎng)老,養(yǎng)老金在國家財政中所占的比例增加,成為無法承受的負擔。第三段探討了解決方法,指出僅僅減少公共養(yǎng)老金的數(shù)量,增加私有養(yǎng)老的比例是不夠的,許多政府在考慮說服人們晚退休。
全文翻譯
老齡化給經(jīng)合組織國家,尤其是在如何支付未來的公共養(yǎng)老金負債方面,帶來了嚴重的挑戰(zhàn)。早退休給退休金的融資帶來了難以承受的負擔。沒有什么簡單的解決方案,但推遲退休(年齡)可能有所幫助。
早退休可能看起來是個值得追求的個人目標,但對于社會來說卻是昂貴的,它使當前的公共養(yǎng)老金系統(tǒng)難以持久;驹蚴歉嗟娜送诵菰缍鴫勖鼌s更長。這意味著更多的退休人員要依賴在職者的資助作為收入。這一前景是令人擔憂的。未來50年,經(jīng)合組織國家的低出生率和預期壽命的增加將使這一老年依賴率提高大約一倍。占經(jīng)合組織國家全部退休收入30%-80%的公共退休金的支出,在國內生產(chǎn)總值中的比例預期將平均增加超過三個百分點,而在有些國家甚至會增加八個百分點。養(yǎng)老基金的壓力如此之大以至于現(xiàn)在的工人有得不到他們預期或認為應該得到的養(yǎng)老金的危險。
行動是必需的,但僅僅試圖減少公共養(yǎng)老金的慷慨度或增加系統(tǒng)內私有養(yǎng)老金的作用,盡管是必要的,但在應對這種依賴挑戰(zhàn)方面仍是不夠的。前些年為了避免下崗及高失業(yè),政府采取提前早退休的方案,而現(xiàn)在許多政府正考慮勸說人們晚點退休。當然,他們是這么想的,如果現(xiàn)在我們更加健康了、工作對體力的要求降低了、失業(yè)率也降低了,那么(工作)出席率可能也該重新上升了。
