On February 26, Vice Minister of Human Resources and Social Security You Jun stated that the current retirement age in China is generally low, which does not match the average life expectancy, does not adapt to changes in population structure and aging development trends, and does not adapt to changes in labor supply and demand. , Resulting in a waste of human resources.

From an international perspective, delaying the retirement age is a common practice in countries around the world to deal with population aging.

In recent decades, most countries have raised the retirement age to varying degrees.

At present, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security is working with relevant departments to study specific reform plans. It will learn from international practices and experience, and will fully consider national conditions.
