On the material level, a senior's problems should not of course be borne by a single child alone. Every family has its share of elders, and society has to share responsibility for supporting them. Therefore, there is a need for expenditures on senior welfare, annuities, and medical insurance.
若僅由物質上來看，老人的問題，當然不是單一孩子的問題，每個家庭都有老人，社會不得不分擔孝與養的責任，因此需要建構老人福利、年金、醫療保險等社會支出。
