What are the main reasons why China should not delay the retirement age?

The main reasons why it is not appropriate to postpone the retirement age in China are: it is not conducive to employment, the risk of work-related injuries in high-risk positions is increased, it is not conducive to the harmony of family life, and it is doubtful whether the average life expectancy will be extended.

First, unprofitable employment

For young people: Now young people are under great employment pressure. Many good companies can only be promoted and raised after retirement, and extending the retirement age is very stressful for young people with mortgages and car loans, regardless of age. For the elderly, as they get older, their body functions are deteriorating and their reactions are slowing down. For an enterprise, these people are not needed. For these elderly people, if they are unemployed before retirement, it will be very difficult to find a job and the pressure of life will increase.

Second, for high-risk occupations, the risk of work-related injuries increases.

For example, think about these grassroots construction workers and porters. After they are 60 years old, they have poor waist, poor legs and feet, and they go up and down on the construction site every day, which undoubtedly increases the risk of accidents.

Third, it is not conducive to the harmony of family life.

For most families now, it is rare to get married and buy a house in full. Married children work outside, monthly mortgage, utilities, property fees, children's milk powder money, tuition fees, etc. Overwhelmed them. Fortunately, parents retired at home to help look after their children and help with housework, which actually saved a lot of money. If they delay their retirement age, their parents won't. I have to go to work, and it is a problem to pick up and drop off my children to school every day. You can only pay a housekeeper to look after the children. This is not a small expense for an ordinary family, which is stressful and may even blame each other, which is not conducive to family harmony.

Fourth, there is doubt about whether the life span will be extended.

Now besides going to work, people get off work every day. At two o'clock every day, eating is unhealthy and there is a lack of exercise in life. Are in a sub-health state. Coupled with the pressure of work and life, smoking, talking about business, talking about customer entertainment, it is definitely unbearable to come down every day. If the retirement age is extended, it will be extended for one year every three years. On the contrary, do people live an extra year every three years?
