Pilot same-age retirement

It's time for China to pilot the same-age retirement in certain industries and working posts, such as government bodies and research institutes, says an article in Guangzhou Daily. Following is an excerpt:

Chen Zhili, the All-China Women's Federation (ACWF) chairwoman, recently called for women civil servants and intellectuals to retire at the same age as their male counterparts.

According to our country's regulations on retirement, men now normally retire at 60 and women at 55. China has long advocated the fair treatment of men and women in all aspects, but still adopted a policy to let female workers retire five years earlier.
