China’s retirement age raise may be approved in 2016

2016年退休年齡或?qū)⒀舆t

China’s plan to raise its retirement age in progressive steps may be put into action in 2016, but details remain under discussion.

中國(guó)正在考慮的延遲退休計(jì)劃可能將于2016年付諸實(shí)施，但是具體細(xì)節(jié)仍然有待討論。

China’s Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security (MHRS) will submit the plan to authorities for approval this year, and simultaneously solicit public opinions on the matter.

中國(guó)人力資源和社會(huì)保障部將會(huì)在今年向當(dāng)局提交計(jì)劃等待通過(guò)，同時(shí)征求公眾對(duì)此事的意見(jiàn)。

The potential for a higher retirement age has sparked discussion since it was first proposed. Many academics believe it is necessary for the country to raise retirement age in order to cope with the aging population and labor shortage.

延遲退休年齡的提議一經(jīng)提出便引起熱議。許多學(xué)者認(rèn)為國(guó)家有必要延遲退休年齡來(lái)平衡老齡化問(wèn)題和勞動(dòng)力短缺。

However, the details for implementation are still in discussion. Experts debate whether it’s better to adopt a one-size-fits-all approach or more flexible measures.

然而，計(jì)劃實(shí)施的細(xì)節(jié)仍在討論之中。專(zhuān)家們?yōu)槭欠駪?yīng)該采取“一刀切”的做法還是制定更靈活的措施而爭(zhēng)論不休。

Officials from MHRS previously disclosed that the age raise may start gradually, with authorities raising the retirement age by several months every year.

人力資源和社會(huì)保障部的官員此前曾公開(kāi)表示過(guò)退休年齡的延遲可能會(huì)逐漸開(kāi)始，相關(guān)部門(mén)會(huì)每年隔幾個(gè)月漸漸抬高退休年齡。

A report released by the Chinese Academy of Social Science found that if the retirement age was raised by one year every four years starting from 2020, China’s working population could be maintained at 450 million by 2050.

一份中國(guó)社會(huì)科學(xué)院發(fā)布的報(bào)告指出如果退休年齡從2020年開(kāi)始每四年抬高一次，中國(guó)的工作人口就能在2050年前保持在4.5億。

Raising the retirement age will also improve operation of the pension fund since paying members will increase, the report said.

這份報(bào)告說(shuō)，由于交稅人口將增加，退休延遲還能完善養(yǎng)老金運(yùn)作。

However, some experts believe that the plan should include some flexible measures. For instance, people could choose to retire earlier or later, but their retirement age would be linked with a pension. That way, those who pay more can also get more after retirement.

然而，一些專(zhuān)家認(rèn)為這個(gè)幾乎應(yīng)該包括一些靈活的措施。例如，人們能夠選擇早一些退休還是晚一些，但是他們的退休年齡將和養(yǎng)老金掛鉤。這樣，那些為養(yǎng)老金貢獻(xiàn)更多的人也能在退休后得到更多。

Others hold that China’s aging population and pension pressures do not permit the country to adopt flexible measures. They believe that a one-size-fits-all policy would be the most effective.

其他人認(rèn)為中國(guó)的老齡化問(wèn)題和養(yǎng)老金壓力不允許國(guó)家采用靈活措施。他們認(rèn)為“一刀切”的做法更有效。

Regardless of the final decision, the adjustment will be brought about step by step after a long "warm up" period, analysts explained.

分析認(rèn)為，無(wú)論最后的決定如何，在一段長(zhǎng)時(shí)間的預(yù)熱之后,調(diào)整會(huì)一步步進(jìn)行。
