Equal retirement age

Planning for retirement is difficult for anyone, but particularly for women.

It is a known fact: women spend less time in the workforce than men, but they live longer.

Women retire five years earlier than men in China. The retirement age for female workers is 50, and 55 for men. While female officials leave their posts at 55, it is 60 for men of the same status. Such a policy, designed decades ago, is supposed to protect women's health.
