Issue 32 of the Home Life Debate Forum: Should the legal retirement age be postponed? The legal retirement age refers to the age specified in the \"Interim Measures of the State Council on the Placement of Elderly, Weak, Sick, and Disabled Cadres\" and the \"Interim Measures of the State Council on the Retirement and Resignation of Workers\" (State Council Document [1978] No. 104), as approved at the second meeting of the Standing Committee of the Fifth National People’s Congress. That is: workers in state-owned enterprises, public institutions, Party and government agencies, and mass organizations: (1) Men who are 60 years of age or older, and women who are 50 years of age or older, with at least ten years of continuous service ； (II) Men who are 55 years of age or older and women who are 45 years of age or older, with at least ten years of continuous service, and those engaged in work in underground environments, at heights, in high-temperature conditions, involving extremely heavy physical labor, or other types of work that are harmful to health ； (III) Men who have reached the age of 50 and women who have reached the age of 45, with a continuous working history of ten years, as certified by a hospital and confirmed by a labor appraisal committee to be completely unable to work, shall be granted retirement. According to the data from the second national census, China is the only country in the world with a population of elderly people exceeding 100 million. In 2010, the number of people aged 60 and above in China was 178 million, accounting for 23.6% of the world’s elderly population. This means that one-quarter of the world’s elderly population is concentrated in China. The Social Security Research Institute of the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security noted that in foreign countries, aging is generally addressed by using external mechanisms to encourage workers to voluntarily extend their retirement age. It is recommended that our country implement a policy to raise the retirement age starting in 2016, increasing it by one year every two years. By 2045, the retirement age will be 65 for both men and women. Pro side: In favor. These days, people age later, so working a few more years isn’t a problem. In some professions, experience increases in value as one gets older, and there is a significant difference in salary before and after retirement. Opposing view: Disagree. Our country is facing the problem of aging before becoming wealthy; as the saying goes, \"If you’re alive, you can contribute to social security; if you die, you can’t receive it.\" ”At the same time, it will also affect young people’s employment to some extent.
