Is it a good thing that social security has gone up?

In theory, the increase in social security premiums is a good thing. After all, there are more insurance premiums such as pension. Office workers who normally get paid in the unit don't seem to have much feeling about whether social security will rise. The unit will help employees pay their salaries on time, and employees can also get their salaries normally. But because some people start their own businesses or are freelancers, their income is unstable. When it comes to paying social security, they will obviously feel that social security is rising.

Many people wonder why social security will increase year by year. One of the factors is inflation, which is well known. Now, money is becoming less and less valuable. If we want to get enough social security benefits in the future, we must pay more now. In addition, because people's income is rising, most people may say that their income is not rising. But in fact, the social income of the big environment is constantly improving. Secondly, pensions are also rising year by year, so the fees we pay should also increase year by year. The last factor is the cause of the epidemic. When the epidemic broke out, employees from all walks of life across the country were affected, and many shops were unable to support them and faced bankruptcy. In such a big environment, in order to reduce the pressure, the state has reduced the cost of social security. But now that the epidemic has gradually eased and everyone's work has begun to return to the right track, it is necessary to make up for the previous downward adjustment.
