There is an article saying that when a country facing global economic downturn, the social security expend will be very high in that country. Social security include tax reduce, health insurance, and pension. When the country’s financial foundation could not afford the high expense of the social security, the country’s economy will crumble. And this report shows that although the global economic system seems getting recovered, the unemployment in the country is still very high. And because the unemployed must be taken care of, so our social security spending is higher and higher than ever. This is just like a vicious spiral because the unemployment is getting more and more, and due to this our expense of social security is also getting higher and higher. This report also shows that in Asia countries, social security plays an important part in our society, our expense. So how can we compare this to Taiwan?

In Taiwan, we take good care of the minority, like farmers, they got agriculture pension, the poor got financial supports, and the sick got health insurance. And when our country spend money on taking care of these people, we already got troubles supporting them. In recent years, our country have some policies like signing contracts such as ECFA, and ECFA is getting more and more farmers become unemployed. We have to take care of these farmers, and when these farmers are getting more and more until we couldn’t afford them anymore, maybe our country’s economic system will crumble. So the conclusion is that, our government must take care of the poor, the minority. If the number of the minority is getting more and more till our economy could not afford them anymore, our country will crumble. We cannot develop economy, we cannot take good care of these poor people, our country will stand on an awkward situation, and in the end our country’s economic system will fail.
