Experts say it's unfair to force everyone to delay retirement
As the aging population intensifies, delayed retirement has become a hot topic. However, one expert pointed out that it would be unfair to force everyone to delay retirement. According to the 2022 National Aging Development Bulletin released by the Ministry of Civil Affairs, in 2022, the number of elderly people aged 60 and above in China has exceeded 2800 million people, accounting for 19 percent of the total population8%；Seniors aged 65 and over up to 2100 million people, accounting for 14 percent of the total population9%。Yan Zhipeng, a professor at Shanghai Advanced Institute of Finance of Shanghai Jiao Tong University, said in the financial knowledge column that China's characteristics are that it has entered a deep aging society, and delaying retirement is an important coping strategy. However, he also pointed out that delaying retirement varies from person to person, for example, some people are not in good health, and forcing them to delay retirement may not be a good policy, and it is also unfair to this group of people. When the state considers the delayed retirement plan and its implementation, it should treat different groups of people differently.
In the face of the serious problem of population aging, we hope that we can pay attention to the elderly at the same time, but also pay attention to the young people, so that more people can participate in the discussion of delayed retirement.
