从加国步入老龄社会看父母移民问题

文章发布时间:March 8, 2005

看到近来51网上关于父母移民问题之争,也谈一点看法。

加拿大近10年来开始大量接纳独立移民。

许多人自己移民了,出于我们中国人的孝心也想把父母移民过来,这本无可厚非。

但在讨论政府对父母移民为什么有所限制之前,我们应该先明了加拿大为什么大量接纳独立移民。

加拿大为什么敞开大门接纳大量的独立移民,是因为加拿大社会已经步入老龄社会,而加拿大的婴儿出生率却在下降,加拿大的福利制度已经有些不堪重负,必须引进大量的移民去工作纳税,以维持加拿大的庞大的福利体系和经济的发展(请参见加拿大移民FAQ中关于加拿大为什么需要移民的部分,已附后)。

如果每位移民都把父母移民过来,显然和加拿大引进独立移民以解决老龄化社会带来的问题的初衷相背。

因此,加拿大政府势必在此方面有所限制。

事实上,加拿大这些年来福利制度在走下坡路已是不争的实事。

比如,取消了实行多年的免费验眼;缩减医院的急诊部(使得本来已经怨声载道的急诊体系更加民怨鼎沸);几乎很少再新建福利性的政府资助的老年公寓,而申请等候住进政府的老年公寓的人却在增加,等候时间空前的拖长。

而另一方面,在扣除了通货膨胀的因素之后纳税人的实际收入在下降的情况下,所得税却在增加,纳税人的负担在加重。

大家希望父母移民,是大家爱这里,已经把这里当成了家。

既如此,大家也应该从加拿大的整个社会和经济的发展来考虑一下这个颇有争议的问题。

如果父母能移民过来,则皆大欢喜。

即使没能移民过来,也要相信国内的兄弟姐妹同样会孝敬父母,让父母安度晚年。

其实,中国人孝敬父母的传统更多的保留在中港台,而非西方国家。

WHY DOES CANADA NEED IMMIGRANTS?
Because Canada has one of the best medical and social service in world, we also have one of the oldest populations in the world. Canada needs a steady flow of new immigrants in order to maintain a healthy social and economic growth and support an infrastructure of the second largest country in the world.
Consider some of these factors:
· Demographics – aging population, low birth rate and shrinking work force.
· “Baby Boomers” will need social, medical, and old age assistance – there is a need to be able to finance the numerous social programmes.
· The country’s rapidly ageing population, coupled with a dearth of young workers, will cause a major shortage of potential employees and could mean immigrants will account for almost all of the labour force growth within a decade, Statistics Canada suggests.
· Census data for 2002, predicts potential worker shortfalls in a vast range of occupations by 2011, from family doctors to bricklayers.
· By 2021, Canada will have only two working Canadians for each retiree, compared with a current 6-to-1 ratio.
· Changing world economic trends require Canada to have a dynamic and competitive society
· Canada competes for the best and the brightest immigrants, with countries like New Zealand, Australia, and U.S.A.
· The Canadian government sets annual immigration quotas which need to be met
