China raises retirement age: Abridged Ep on trends about its population decline & slowing economy

Today, the wealthiest newborn in the world is born in China, inheriting the wealth of 14 ancestors, curtsy three generations of one-child policy. In another generation, the Chinese will be the wealthiest country in the world. With the highest per capita in the world, how does it matter if the country's growth rate slows? They will become the wealthiest capitalists in the world. Why has a learned Journalist like Gupta yet to address this aspect? Increasingly, manufacturing is now done by robots rather than Human beings. China is way ahead of the world in using robotics and AI in manufacturing. Moreover, today, the Communist Chinese do capitalism better than anybody else in the world. No wonder China has become the factory of the world. I'm curious why Gupta Jee is still living in the 20th century.

India on the other hand is bringing back the Old Pension Scheme by stealth. The OPS was abolished for a reason and that was it was unsustainable fiscally. Now the UPS brings the same liability back to the taxpayer.

[@AdityaJape]

Because we are decocracry Also we need to focus on increasing population

[@Apache1970]

UPS is not OPS. UPS = OPS - commutation benefit - GPF. Pension commutation and GPF were the biggest rewards in OPS that's officially over and is unlikely to be reintroduced by centre due to fiscal danger. The opposition ruled states that had reintroduced OPS such as heavily indebted Punjab have not implemented it until now. Finally it is more likely that the Central government would increase the retirement age to 65 for public servants in India to reduce the pension outgoes. Of course UPS has restored an inequality that previously existed between public and private sector employees but that is only going to go away when there is strong votebank in regular salaried private jobs. 😊

[@navdeepkumar5085]

How come people talk about the things they have no idea about so confidently. How does ups being any liability to the govt.? Have you even read it?

[@Apache1970]

@@navdeepkumar5085 My mother and father as well as grandparents were government pensioners. My spouse is a government employee who is currently under NPS. Trust me, UPS is not OPS. Read about pension commutation and GPF. That's absent in NPS & UPS, and unlikely to be present in any future pension plans as well.

Shekar ji, When talking about population dynamics, you keep referring to TFR(Total Fertility Rate) as percentage growth rate. These are two totally different indices.

[@mohitjain7994]

Much of the economic gain China witnessed is because of the one child policy. Smaller families meant better education and overall development. China is in a different stage of economic development now where one child policy is counter productive. It doesnot mean it was a bad policy back then. Different times require different policies.

[@1.4billion65]

If we didn't have one child policy, the population might exceed 2 billion! That will be disaster for everyone.

In India the middle-class family is one serious ILLNESS BILL away from poverty.

Nothing got to do with declining population.

@@TheGreatVivek7 High population is not a problem. Japan has high population density too. Its the quality of your population, infrastructure, society, etc which decide whether that population is sustainable or not.

[@TheGreatVivek7]

@@Greasyhair not sure what you are on about when our cities are not planned properly and population is concentrated to few metropolitan cities. Bihar’s fertility rate is at 3 and UP’s is similar. It’s poor, low skilled population that ends up migrating to the select few metropolitan cities. As a result crime rate of these cities go up, and we end up with ever expanding slums. All could have been controlled of course with a stringent 2 child policy tailor made for states with high birth rates, but no party wants to do the right thing. Supreme dictator Modi talked about population explosion in his Independence Day speech in 2019 but didn’t do anything as it’s a vote bank.

[@TheGreatVivek7]

@@Greasyhair btw little knowledge is a dangerous thing. Inhabitable landmass factors into population density, it’s simple mathematics. Compare the population density of Japan to BIMARU states. Kindly do not vote next time. It’s people with half knowledge who end up making bad choices for everyone.

Indian youth need to start gaining work experience much earlier, especially those enrolling in tertiary education or preparing for government exams. State governments, industry, and educators have to work together to create a roadmap for a skilled workforce. Hearing about youth unemployment rate, or too many deemed unemployable after years of schooling is disheartening. This is supposed to be the period of demographic dividend.
