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£®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 purpose£®But when a company must take life-long responsibility for its employees, 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£®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 their daily life without trying to earn extra to cover their retirement years£® This means the government mig ht have to step in to care for the poor£®
