What is the legal retirement age for men and women in the new regulations on the retirement age in 2

The policy and system on the retirement age has always been the most concerned by ordinary people. What is the legal retirement age in China? After working hard for most of my life, when can I retire and enjoy my old age? It is understood that there are restrictions on the retirement age, and the retirement age standards for men and women are also different. Let's take a look at the details below.

It is inevitable that people will be unable to work when they are old. Therefore, many people want to retire early, so that they can spend more time with their families or enjoy their free life. However, retirement is not possible at any time. It is reported that China's legal retirement age is that men can retire until they reach the age of 60, while women need to reach the age of 55. However, in recent years, the proposal of delaying retirement has often been mentioned. Is it possible to delay retirement?

It is understood that the legal retirement age refers to the retirement age stipulated in the Interim Measures of the State Council on the resettlement of old, weak, sick and disabled cadres and the Interim Measures of the State Council on the retirement and resignation of workers (GF [1978] No. 104) approved in principle at the second meeting of the Standing Committee of the Fifth National People's Congress on May 24, 1978 and still in force.

In July 2012, He Ping, director of the Institute of social security of the Ministry of human resources and social security, proposed that China should gradually extend the retirement age. It is suggested that the retirement age should be 65 for both men and women by 2045. The current retirement age is 60 for men and 55 for women.

It is reported that from 2019, the retirement age of women will be delayed by one year every three years and that of men by one year every six years. By 2045, the retirement age of men and women will reach 65 years at the same time.

However, netizens also have different views on this policy of delaying retirement. Supporters believe that it is good to work for more years to earn more money, while opponents believe that it is too hard to work for more years if you want to retire and rest early after working for most of your life. If you want to extend this retirement age, it means working for more years.
