Pagbabagsak ng mga numero: Ang mga higit sa 65 na gumastos ng halos lahat ng pensiyon sa langit na renta

Share:

Pagsapit ng 2048, ang bilang ng mga taong higit sa 65 na nagrenta ng mga bahay ay maaaring dobleng magdagdag sa higit sa 600,000. Ang ilang mga pensionero ay gumastos ng halos lahat ng kanilang pagtitipid sa pagreretiro sa renta.

Sa isang kamakailang panayam, inihayag ng isang hindi pinangalanang pensioner mula sa Whanganui nagbabayad siya ng $450 sa isang linggo para sa kanyang pag-upa ng dalawang silid-tulugan at $70 lamang ang natitira mula sa kanyang pensiyon. Kumuha siya ng part-time na trabaho upang makatulong na magbayad ng mga gastos, na nagpapahiwatig sa kanya tungkol sa hinaharap. Naghihintay siya para sa isang mas murang apartment ngunit nahaharap sa isang limang taon na paghihintay.

Ibinahagi ng isa pang pensioner, si Yvonne, ang kanyang mga alalahanin tungkol sa pag-upa sa Auckland. Nagbabayad siya ng $495 sa isang linggo para sa kanyang one-bedroom apartment, na iniiwan siya ng $25 lamang lingguhan. Sa pagtatapos ng isang pagbabayad sa enerhiya sa taglamig, magkakaroon lamang siya ng $135 para sa mga groceries at bayarin. Si Yvonne ay nasa waitlist ng pabahay sa loob ng tatlong taon at natatakot para sa mga mas matatandang nagrenta na walang mga tahanan.

Sinusubukan ng isang kawanggawa na tinatawag na Abbeyfield na tulungan ang mas matandang nagrenta sa abot-kayang pabahay. Mayroon silang 14 na accommodation at nag-aalok ng mga kuwarto sa halagang $440 sa isang linggo, na kasama ang mga pagkain at bayarin. Mataas ang pangangailangan para sa mga bahay na ito, na may 98% na rate ng okupasyon. Sinabi ng Chief Executive na si Ruth Seabright na kailangan nila ng higit pang pondo upang bumuo ng mga bagong tahanan upang matugunan ang pangangailangan.

Si Christabel Jackson, 79, ay nakatira sa isang bahay ng Abbeyfield at natagpuan ang all-inclusive rent na nagbabago sa buhay. Nasisiyahan siya sa komunidad at ibinahagi ang karanasan sa pamumuhay.

Ang gastos para sa pagtatayo ng isang bahay ng Abbeyfield ay $4 milyon, pinondohan ng mga donasyon at tulong ng gobyerno. Plano nilang magtayo ng isang bagong bahay bawat taon para sa susunod na dekada ngunit kailangan ng higit pang pondo ng gobyerno upang magsimula.

Binigyang-diin niya ang pangangailangan na matugunan ang mga isyung ito nang mabil Nabanggit din ni Martin ang maling pag-unawa na ang lahat ng matatandang tao ay nagmamay-ari ng mga tahanan at may sapat na pera
