Recently, the topic of delayed retirement has sparked heated discussions on the Internet, according to the latest data from the "China Pension Development Report 2023", the age of 65 may become a new retirement "threshold", this news quickly aroused the attention and discussion of all walks of life.
As the news spread, netizens left messages expressing their views and concerns. One netizen wrote: "I'm 46 years old, and now it's getting harder and harder to find a job, what does delaying retirement mean for those of us who are middle-aged? This concern is a reflection of the sentiments of many middle-aged people. They feel that there is already a certain degree of discrimination against workers over the age of 35 in society, and the introduction of the delayed retirement policy will further increase the pressure on life, which makes people worry.
Many people always want to postpone retirement, but the question is, who will solve people's employment problems? As you get older, it becomes incredibly difficult to find a job. According to 2023 statistics, the average life expectancy of Chinese is 77 years, while that of men is slightly shorter, 7364 years old. Many netizens said: Why not just let people retire at the age of 70? When he retires, he is already old, weak, sick and disabled, and the cost of pension is saved. 
So, why is there a policy of delaying retirement? Actually, the reason is not complicated. Our pension system is pay-as-you-go, which means that the social security contributions paid by young people are used to pay for the pensions of the elderly. But as the aging population intensifies, this pressure is becoming more and more intense. According to **, by 2035, the elderly population in our country will reach 400 million, accounting for 30% of the total population! In this case, delaying retirement seems to be an "inevitable" option. 
In addition, as the average life expectancy of Chinese continues to grow, when the average life expectancy reaches 80-90 years, the retirement age will be delayed accordingly. China's aging population is getting worse, and retiring at 65 is just the beginning.
However, delaying retirement is not a simple matter. In addition to the pressures of the pension system, the actual situation of the worker must also be taken into account. After all, not everyone will be able to work until the age of 65. Many people face employment problems after the age of 35, let alone 65! As you get older, companies, businesses, and organizations will fire you for a variety of reasons, and it will be even more difficult to find a job at that time.
By the time we reach the age of 60, the aging problem will be even more severe, and then a retirement policy at 70 may be introduced. When you are almost 70 years old, you may be delayed again until you are 75 years old. This phenomenon of continuous postponement makes people can't help but sigh: "I have been running for retirement all my life." ”
In general, the introduction of the delayed retirement policy does have its underlying reasons, but we cannot ignore a series of problems and challenges brought by it. For middle-aged workers, delaying retirement can mean greater stress and difficulty in finding employment. At the same time, the sustainability of the pension system is also an issue that needs to be seriously considered.
For this topic, all sectors of society need to conduct more in-depth discussions and research to find more appropriate and feasible solutions, so as to protect the legitimate rights and interests of the majority of workers, and at the same time contribute to the sustainable development of the country. This issue is not only related to the lives of individuals, but also affects the development and stability of society as a whole. Hopefully, a more balanced and sustainable retirement system will be found in the future, so that everyone can enjoy their old age without worry.
