Generally speaking, the retired age in China is 60 for men and 50-55 for women, (Wei, 2010) however, the retirement age is sixty in UK. Both China and UK has the old age pension for people who is too old to work. But, pension in UK is much more rich and generous. The people who has pension even can go abroad to travel. Satuation is quite different from China, the pesion can only provide the food to continue people's life.
In the second place, there are huge different between China and UK deal with people who is unemployed people. An job means everything to chinese that people who does not have job can not survive. As an result of too much population that the government of China can not afford the spending on unemployed people. Conversely, people in Great Britain can apply for income support and if they have no signficant savings, they will receive it.(Hand out, 2011)
Finally, the Red Cross Sciety of China is one of most important charity in my country. There are two way that RCSC collect money which s donations, government support.
