On March 12, the “Fourteenth Five-Year Plan for the National Economic and Social Development of the People’s Republic of China and the Outline of Long-Term Goals for 2035” issued by the Xinhua News Agency presented the comprehensive consideration of increasing the half life. expectation, the accelerated trend of population aging, and Factors such as the increase in the number of years of education and changes in the structure of the workforce, in accordance with the principles of small adjustment, flexible implementation, classified promotion, and general planning, will gradually delay the legal retirement age and promote the full use of human resources.
In this regard, Jin Weigang, dean of the Chinese Academy of Labor Sciences and Social Security of the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, pointed out in an interview with the Xinhua News Agency that the adjustments are small. The simple understanding is that the delayed retirement reform will not be “a step in progress” but will adopt gradual reforms. Smaller scales are implemented, with a lag of several months every year or one month every few months, and the pace is generally flat.
At the same time, regarding the retirement age, Jin Weigang emphasized that delaying retirement is not about “keeping up,” but should be seamlessly integrated with current retirement policy. The implementation of deferred retirement reform will distinguish between different groups, adopt an appropriate pace, move steadily, and roll it out gradually.
An expert who declined to sign told the “Daily Business News” reporter that the suggestion to promote delayed retirement reform is to make the reform as comprehensive as possible and avoid “patching” the policy after it is implemented.
There will be a long transition period in the future
Jin Weigang introduced that the simple understanding of the adjustment of small steps means that the postponement of the retirement reform will not be “a step in place”, but a gradual reform, gradually implemented on a smaller scale, with a delay. several months a year or a month every few months The rhythm is generally smooth.
In other words, after the implementation of the policy, the retirement age line will slowly lag behind. For example, women who originally retire at age 50 will retire at age 50 for a month or a few months in the first year after the policy is implemented. People of different age groups have different retirement ages. By analogy, the reform will be completed after several years of transition.
Jin Weigang pointed out that the truth is that in the initial stage of reform, people who are about to retire will only be delayed a month or a few months, and will not retire a few years later. For young people, the extended retirement age will be higher, but there will be a long period of transition and adaptation in the future.
It is understood that there are relatively mature experiences in “gradual” postponement at the international level, and there are two more popular methods: one is to postpone three months a year, four years postpone a year; the other is to postpone four years a year. It takes three years to delay a year.
In this regard, Fang Lianquan, general secretary of the World Social Security Research Center of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, told the “Daily Economic News” reporter that from a research perspective, most academic colleagues tend to lag three or four months. Play a gradual effect, and it will not be as long as a year is delayed two months or six years to delay a year, and all groups can generally accept it. If it is calculated by delaying the age of one year by three years, a worker will take 30 years to retire from 50 to 60 years, if it is delayed until 65, it will take 45 years, which is almost half a century; if it is delayed four years, it will be necessary. It takes 40 years to delay the statutory retirement age.
“Together, the pace of implementation of the deferred retirement plan is: First, the fast plan: extend one year of validity in 2 years; second, the reference plan: extend one year of validity for 3-4 years; third, the slow plan: extend a year for up to 6 years, “said Fang Lianquan.
Delaying retirement will not be “the same for everyone”
Jin Weigang introduced that delayed retirement will not be “one size fits all.” It is not a requirement that everyone must reach delayed retirement age before they can retire, but rather to reflect a degree of flexibility and increase the space for people to choose early retirement. This is the biggest and most important feature of delayed retirement reform.
Jin Weigang said that objectively speaking, either from the perspective of job stability and work intensity of different occupational groups and different positions, or from the perspective of personal physical condition, family needs and value pursuits, there are great Differences and the result demands All are different, some people want to work more and others want to retire early.
Jin Weigang pointed out that to delay retirement reform, these diversified needs must be fully considered. Based on the unified implementation, combined with current national conditions, cultural traditions and historical evolution of our country, we will increase flexibility factors, allowing people to choose a specific time for early retirement based on their own circumstances. and conditions, which fully reflects the flexibility and inclusiveness of the reform.
At the same time, in response to the retirement age regulations, Jin Weigang said that delaying retirement is not “keeping pace”, but seamlessly integrating with current retirement policy. The current legal retirement age in my country is 60 for men, 55 for women and 50 for female workers. Policies are different. The implementation of the deferred retirement reform will distinguish different groups, adopt an appropriate pace, move steadily, and be implemented gradually.
Regarding existing policy differences in different occupations, regions and positions, the continuity of policies will be maintained after the reform to ensure an orderly connection before and after policy adjustments and a smooth transition.
In this regard, the aforementioned experts consider that from an international perspective, the retirement of men and women at the same age is a trend. If there are no relevant provisions in the reform at the moment, the future will definitely move gradually. towards this direction of reform.
Some experts in the field of social security have presented to journalists that it is recommended that within the period of the “XIV Five-Year Plan” retirement plans for men and women be implemented simultaneously. Men will be the first to reach the goal of retirement. and then the retirement age of women will continue to rise.
There will be corresponding support policies for follow-up
Jin Weigang stressed that delaying retirement cannot “go it alone.” Postponement of retirement reform is a systematic project, and there are many supporting policies and related safeguards that require comprehensive planning and coordinated advocacy.
Jin Weigang introduced that, on the one hand, some policies related to retirement age in the past need to be adjusted accordingly with the delay in retirement; On the other hand, the delay in the retirement reform will also bring some new problems and new challenges, and the corresponding support measures must be followed in time. For example, how to promote employment and entrepreneurship of older workers through more specific measures? How to provide more social security benefits to people with work difficulties, especially those in flexible employment, to help them get back to work? How to further increase protection for unemployed older people and develop suitable jobs for older workers? There are also amendments to the relevant laws and regulations, etc.
Jin Weigang pointed out that only when comprehensive planning and support measures have been implemented, can we ensure the smooth implementation and smooth implementation of the delayed retirement reform.
Sun Yongyong, executive researcher at the World Social Security Research Center of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, introduced to the “Daily Economic News” reporter that people can choose to retire at the original retirement age and receive their original pensions. At the same time, people should also be able to choose a higher retirement age, retire and get a higher pension level. Those who want to continue working must provide employment assistance.
“China’s labor market is very complicated and structural problems are prominent. For those who want to continue working but have difficulty finding a job, there must be special assistance policies.” Sun Yongyong said that many people are worried that they will not. able to find work when they are older.
