Is it too early to retire?Netizens questioned that many people will not live to receive their pensions
Delayed reform was put on the agenda, and expert Peng Xizhe suggested a flexible reform system.
With the aging of the population, the continuous improvement of living standards, and the fact that people are living longer and longer, we have begun to postpone retirement in order to relieve the pressure on pensions.
Peng Xizhe, director of the Institute of Aging at Fudan University, said that China's retirement age is still relatively early, commenting that China's retirement age is less than 56 years old, while the average life expectancy has reached 78 years, which means that for many people, even after retirement, there are about 30 years left before receiving a pension. To that end, he proposed the introduction of a delayed retirement system, stressing that it would not deprive young people of many employment opportunities.
Delaying retirement is a complex issue that requires an in-depth analysis of various factors. However, in the long run, the implementation of the delayed retirement system is of great significance to cope with the aging of the population, ensure the sustainability of the pension system, and promote social and economic development. The implementation of the delayed retirement system also requires the efforts and support of the whole society, so we must all contribute to the response to the aging of the population!
