The labour law stipulates the retirement age for women

Now our country has officially promulgated the regulations on the retirement age of employees. At present, China's aging is increasing year by year. According to the current situation of the country, China has determined the delay of the retirement age. How do China's laws and regulations stipulate the retirement age of female employees? Next, let's learn about the retirement age of female employees.

According to the recommendations of relevant reports, from the beginning, the retirement age of women will be delayed by one year every three years and that of men will be delayed by one year every six years until it reaches 65 years at the same time in 2045.

In the specific recommendations, the report puts forward that, first, we should realize the integration of the pension system and classify the retirement age into two categories: the age at which employees receive old-age insurance and the age at which residents receive old-age insurance.

Secondly, the retirement age reform plan of employee pension insurance is divided into two steps.

First step

When the integration of the pension system was completed in 2017, the identity distinction between female cadres and female workers was abolished, and the female retirement age of employee pension insurance was uniformly set at 55.

Step 2

From the beginning, the retirement age of women will be delayed by one year every three years and that of men will be delayed by one year every six years until it reaches 65 years at the same time in 2045.

The report points out that there are a large number of young retirees in China, and developing their potential is the main direction in the future.

The report believes that since the retirement age in China began decades ago, it has become too low. The report recommends that the retirement age be gradually postponed in accordance with the principles of integration first, gradual implementation and flexible mechanism. Specifically, first of all, realize the integration of the pension system, and classify the retirement age into two categories: the employee pension insurance receiving age and the resident pension insurance receiving age.

Secondly, the retirement age reform plan of employee pension insurance is divided into two steps.

Thirdly, the retirement age of residents' old-age insurance will be delayed by one year every three years from 2033 until 2045. At the same time, we should introduce a flexible mechanism into the reform of the retirement age. We can consider taking the legal retirement age as the benchmark and stipulate that people can retire five years in advance or delayed, but the pension treatment is linked to the retirement age.

The report shows that delaying the retirement age can effectively improve the supply of urban labor force, increase the urban working age population (below the retirement age) and delay the downward trend of its proportion.

The report on China's population and labor issues has been published annually by the Institute of population and labor economics of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences since 2000. It usually summarizes population and labor issues and research results with a distinctive theme, and looks forward to and forecasts future population, labor and development.
