台灣 -內一項調查顯示﹐有84.1%的臺灣上班族已開始擔心無法支應退休後的生活開銷﹐更有91%的人認為臺當局所謂的"勞基法"無法保障退休生活。

據島內1111人力銀行的這份"上班族退休准備大調查"指出﹐有超過67%的上班族已開始思考退休後的經濟來源﹐超過89%的人不了解臺當局對勞工退休准備金的規定﹐還有近90%的人擔心現行"勞基法"退休制度"看得到﹑拿不到"﹐更有91%多的人認為該制度無法保障退休生活。

在高物價的生活水准下﹐調查指出﹐高達84%的上班族擔心無法支應退休後的生活開銷﹐顯示臺灣勞工普遍有"退休危機症候群"﹐原因是勞保老年給付太低﹐無法應付養老所需﹐再加上"勞基法"退休條件嚴苛﹐多數勞工擔心退休後連基本生活都無法維持。

而在規劃退休後的收入來源方面﹐有超過50%的上班族以勞保退休給付為主要收入來源﹐銀行定存則有一半人數﹐保險給付的佔逾48%﹐股票基金佔46%多。而勞工退休准備金有32.74%﹐而子女撫養只佔18.94%﹐顯示現代人"養兒防老"的觀念已不復存在。
