Despite these drawbacks, (26) __________ the retirement age is still considered by policymakers as one of the key solutions to the ageing population problem in Vietnam, But these are only temporary solutions.

However, as living standards in Vietnam improve and more families can afford to send their children to university, universities have become more commercialized and entering university is no longer a rare achievement. The low quality of Vietnamese universities also means the majority of graduating students are unable to find an appropriate job. By simplifying entrance exams to deemphasize university degrees, the government has encouraged students to opt for vocational training. (28)_______, 2016 saw a remarkable decrease in the number of students applying (29) ______ university. Another supplementary policy is to have productivity-based rather than seniority-based salaries, (30) _______ are common in Asian countries. This would address public concern about aged seniors doing less work for more pay than younger employees.
