Recently, the Xinhua News Agency authorized the publication of the “Recommendations of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on the formulation of the Fourteenth Five-Year Plan for National Economic and Social Development and the Long-Term Goals for 2035” (hereinafter, the “Recommendations”), which noted that “the implementation of progressive retirement age delays.”
The word “implementation” means that delayed retirement will become a reality from the previous research level.
Retirement plan delayed from “research” to “implementation”
After 8 years
According to the “China Economic Weekly”, the current retirement system in our country, the retirement age of men and women is not the same. Men must be at least 60 years old, female civil servants must be at least 55 years old and female workers must be at least 50 years old. Men who engage in underground, hot, high-altitude work, especially heavy manual work or other work harmful to their health, will retire at 55.
This retirement age framework began with the “Regulations of the People’s Republic of China on Labor Insurance” promulgated on February 23, 1951, when the average life expectancy in China was less than 50 years.
With economic development, the aging situation in our country is worsening, delaying retirement was put on the agenda since June 2012. At that time, the “Scheme of the Twelfth Five-Year Social Security Plan” formulated by the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, the National Development and Reform Commission and other departments proposed “to study the policy of flexible postponement of the retirement age.” At the same time, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Welfare raised the idea of ”walking slowly in small steps” and planned to adopt differentiated strategies for the demands of different groups.
However, due to various reasons, the retirement plan has been delayed for more than eight years. “The main reason the delayed retirement plan wasn’t launched at that time was that there was too much resistance from all sides. In particular, people didn’t understand delayed retirement and there was some resistance.” Yang Lixiong, deputy director of the China Social Security Research Center at Renmin University of China, accepted the “China Reporter from” Economic Weekly, “said in an interview.
According to data published by the National Statistics Office, at the end of 2019, there were 253.88 million people aged 60 and over in the country, representing 18.1% of the total population. Among them, 176.03 million people aged 65 and over, representing 12.6% of the total population.
On August 27 of this year, when the official website of the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security released a response to a letter from netizens about the postponement of the retirement policy, it also stated that it “seriously studied the policies and relevant measures “. Now with the release of the “Recommendations”, the “research” has become “implementation” After 8 years, the delay of retirement has really come this time.
Do women increase their pace faster than men?
At present, there are mainly two schemes that are most discussed in the industry:
The first is to first unify the retirement age of men and women to 60, unify the retirement age of the two women’s levels into one and then extend the retirement age of men and women at the same time;
Another option is to extend the length of men and women separately, and women will extend the rate faster than men, eventually unifying the retirement age of men and women.
Yang Lixiong agrees with the first plan, believes that some women are retiring at 50 and it is too early, the most urgent thing is to unify the retirement ages of men and women. “In the first step, women can unify up to 55 years and, once unified, they can extend step by step until 60 years; men begin to extend after women unify at 55 years. When the age Retirement rates for women are delayed at 60, men should delay When they reach 62 and 63, they will be delayed together until 65. If ‘small steps and gradual progress’ are maintained, women can be faster and slower men. “
