A serious problem for today’s society is who should be responsible for our elderly and how to improve their lives.It is not only a financial problem but also a question of the system we want for our society. 【小题1】
First,employers should take the responsibility for their employees.【小题2】 But when a company must take life-long responsibility for its employees,it may suffer from a commercial disadvantage due to higher employee costs.
【小题3】 This means each person must save during his working years to pay for his years of retirement.This does not seem a very fair model since some people have enough trouble paying for daily life without trying to earn extra to cover their retirement years.This means the government might have to step in to care for the poor.

ish some working places especially for the elderly where they are independent.

easonable to expect that some combination of these options may be needed to provide the care we hope to give to our elderly generations.
