I am 100% with you re. the IT profession. I might be wrong with the house price since we bought a detached in Vaughan years ago when the house price was still reasonable, and I haven't been looking for one since. So I don't have the best idea about that. I know that our house price went up quite a bit though.
About the old age pension, I think it applies based on your income. It is also a very minimal amount that it barely counts anything. China is not getting better either. Have you read about the news that China is going to gradually increase the retirement age for both men and women to 65 by the end of 2020?
On the other hand, Both countries have the problem of an aging population. However, with the large number of people in China and the number of jobs that were created, China would need people to fill up those positions; while they cannot find as many people at the working age as they need, a pay increase to attract employees will be necessary. Therefore, the salary level in China will very soon catch up with the more developed countries. (this is not my personal opinion, please see Boom Bust & Echo by a professor from UofT named David Foot). Personally, I think younger generations are better off staying in China as they have a much better chance toward a successful career and a fruitful life. My son is a 2 year old mix blood, but I insist him speaking Chinese with me at home because I know it would be more than just useful for his own good; yet, I also cringe when thinking about the pollution, the manner of driving, the corruption, the mistress culture, and many other things that I can't bring myself to think about; I don't know if I would be at ease if he decides to go pursue his future in China one day.
Life is in your own hands, choose wisely.

红萝卜说得很中肯。中国现在的确机会非常多。我许多同学在美国、英国、德国、香港读完书后还是都回到了国内,而他们绝不是所谓的在国外混不下去的losser。比方我一个在哥大读建筑的同学,读完master就打算立马回国,因为她说在美国一年才做一两个项目,但是国内的话数量却是10倍,个人成长速度完全不可相提并论。 |
