我国非营利人权组织“尊严”(MARUAH)呼吁政府为55岁或以上的乐龄人士提供更多福利,以解决他们目前无法适应生活成本高涨下面对经济、生活等问题。 李光耀公共政策学院助理教授黄国和与研究团队,最近发表一份报告。研究揭示,我国年长者因各种不同的原因,导致他们无法适应现在的生活,面临很大的经济压力。 据最低收入标准(MIS)的结果显示,我国年长者在个人所得与经济需求差距悬殊,亦指最低家庭预算应达到乐龄群体的基本需求。 研究团队指出,除了衣食住行为最基本原则,年长者也有追求生活品质的要求。而根据《世界人权宣言》第25条,人人有权享受为维持他本人和家属的健康和福利所需的生活水准,包括食物、衣着、住房、医疗和必要的社会服务。 报告中也包括工作机会、教育水平与机会、社会参与等重要指标纳入个人福祉中。基于最低收入标准,研究团队总结,有必要增加针对年长者的预算,确保他们能维持基本生活需求。 研究团队计算出年长者维持基本生活需求的费用如下: 65岁以上独居年长者:每个月1379新元 65岁以上夫妇:每个月2351新元 55-64的独居老人:每个月1721新元 研究团队也比较收入与家庭基本预算,发现在三种老年人最普遍的工作中,其薪资收入却不足家庭基本预算的0.9-1.2倍,亦即就算老年人目前有工作收入,他们的薪资可能无法达到研究所提出的家庭基本预算。 针对老年人收入不足的问题,政府现有的应对措施如下: 渐进式薪资模式(PWM):针对三种低收入职业:清洁工、园工及保安工作人员实施最低薪资…
