Delayed retirement finally settled, why delayed retirement?

1, the average life expectancy of China's overall population over the past 40 years has increased by nearly 10 years

Existing legal retirement age was established in 1978, so far there have been more than 40 years , and in these 40 years, with the country's rapid economic, medical, scientific and technological development, the average life expectancy of China's overall residents has also been climbing:

From an average life expectancy of 66.9 years for males and 69 years for females in 1978, after 40 years of improvements in all aspects of the environment and conditions,by 2018, the average life expectancy of China's residents has reached 77.0 years, up nearly 10 years.

But in these 40 years or so, the policy of the statutory retirement age has never changed. Policies also need to evolve with the times according to the actual situation, which is something that even elementary school students understand. Therefore, the first reason for delaying retirement is that with the increase in life expectancy per capita of our residents, the retirement age should be adjusted accordingly.

2, with the aggravation of aging, delayed retirement can effectively increase the supply of labor in the talent market

If you go to Japan to travel, you will find that many of Japan's bus drivers, hotels, restaurants, staff, etc., many of which are on the age of the old man, which is the background of Japan's aging society This is a way to increase the supply of labor in the job market in Japan's aging society: letting the elderly who are healthy and able to take on the corresponding labor intensity continue to participate in the workforce.

With China's aging problem worsening, this Japanese approach can also be fully borrowed, so the second reason for delaying retirement is: Plan ahead to alleviate the problems and pressures on labor supply when the aging problem in the country is more serious.

3, for individual workers, if they do not want to retire too early, there are more work opportunities

According to the current retirement policy, female workers can retire at the age of 50 years old, think about the 50-year-old women around us, in fact, basically in a better state, but also exactly can continue to glow in the The age of the workplace to shine, many people themselves want to continue to work, rather than retiring too early.

But according to the current policy, they want to continue to work after retiring from their current positions, generally can only find some housekeeping, janitorial and other similar jobs, in fact, did not give full play to their personal values. Delayed retirement will allow this group of people to continue to contribute more to their original positions and realize their personal values.
