BA serious problem for todays 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
19、. I would like to suggest several possible solutions to this problem.First, employers should take the responsibility for their retired employees. To make this possible, a percentage of profits should be set aside for this - 5 -purpose. But when a company must take life-long responsibility for its em
20、ployees, it may suffer from a commercial disadvantage due to higher employee costs. Another way of solving the problem is to return the responsibility to the individual.
