Unless the necessary reforms are made soon, in the future drastic measures may be invoked to cope with the problem of supporting the retired, including tax hikes or rolling back social welfare programs, both of which could negatively impact the economy. Meanwhile, OECD countries like Japan, the US, and Britain have already begun zeroing in on the problem, drafting measures to extend the work lives of their citizens.
如果不儘快做出改革，未來為了養活大量的非勞動力人口，勢必導致政府提高稅賦或是採取低度福利，並拖緩經濟成長力道。
