Why do you want to retire at 65?

To cope with the aging population in China. At the present stage, the goal of implementing the policy of different retirement ages for men and women in China is of positive significance for safeguarding and respecting women's rights and interests. However, with the gradual equality between men and women, and the overall life expectancy of women is higher than that of men, the irrationality of this policy is increasingly apparent. On the one hand, the average life expectancy of China's population has increased by more than 30 years compared with the initial policy in the 1950s, but the relevant provisions on the retirement age in China have not changed accordingly. The extension of the remaining life of workers after retirement has greatly increased the pressure on the issuance of state pensions.

On the other hand, the current implementation method of social insurance retirement benefits in China is that "employees can receive basic pensions on a monthly basis after they have paid 15 years and reached the statutory retirement age". The provisions of this policy reflect more social welfare factors, while the corresponding degree between the social insurance payment obligation of workers and social insurance benefits is low, which affects the coverage of social insurance system and its sustainable development to a certain extent. There are many unreasonable aspects in China's retirement system, the most important of which is to solidify the unified retirement age.

In different historical periods and socio-economic backgrounds, the concept of "old" is also relative. Different human capital has different achievements and different contributions to society, so the time to quit the labor field should also be different. The current retirement age system in China is to formulate unified regulations, and all people who reach this age must retire. This system of compulsory retirement violates the periodicity of human capital, can not reflect individual differences well, and leads to the waste of human capital. Many skilled old people with solid professional knowledge can continue to be independent and competent, which is exactly what young people can't achieve and what enterprises urgently need. The current legal retirement age means that people in this age group will lose their ability to work and need to retire from the work field. However, in fact, the degree of each of us is different, and everyone's energy, quality and comprehensive ability are different. Whether we retire or not, we should pay more attention to the contribution rate that each individual's physical condition and comprehensive ability can make to society, rather than just taking an individual's age as a reference standard.

From the perspective of the right to personal development, if a person is physically allowed and has a strong ability, and is forced to retire just because his age reaches the legal standard, it actually deprives workers of their labor rights and wishes, and it is also a great waste of human resources. If the policy of delaying retirement takes 65 as the retirement standard, isn't it a bit across the board, without taking into account the personal physical reality? But in fact, in the current job market in China. Age discrimination in the job market has a long history.

Workplace crisis of middle-aged people

For the vast number of private enterprises in China, the age of 35 has become an insurmountable gap for many people in the workplace to find jobs, let alone 65 years old. Because of age, women are discriminated against more than men in the job market. For business owners, they will feel that women must consider a series of practical problems such as marriage, childbirth, parenting and caring for the elderly after they are 30 years old. Once women are involved in these problems, they can't compare with young people in their twenties in terms of time and energy, learning ability and work concentration.

For men, the midlife crisis is more serious. Unless you have a very important management position in a company, for many companies, they will think that men's physical fitness, physiological function and working hours staying up late are not as good as those of young people, which makes many companies give priority to middle-aged people in the process of layoffs. We are focusing on other industries.

Age exposure of recruitment in various industries

In order to let everyone know more about the real situation of recruitment age in various industries, we selected the restrictions on recruitment age in several major industries in Zhaopin recruitment. First of all, let's take the construction industry where migrant workers are most widely employed as an example. According to Zhaopin's recruitment, the maximum acceptable age for migrant workers in the construction industry is 45. Of course, the age may be relaxed in some small construction sites. However, the construction site of the elderly over 60 will not be considered, because employers should also consider the actual risks. Secondly, from the perspective of manufacturing industry, the basic requirement of the highest employment age is around 35 years old. Finally, from the perspective of food production industry, the maximum age limit required is 45 years old.
