Peng Xizhe, dean of Fudan University's Institute on Aging, recently sparked controversy again.
He believes that China's retirement age is relatively early, suggests that the retirement age be postponed, and calls for local governments to develop flexible retirement systems according to the actual situation. At the same time, he insisted that older people do not take advantage of young people's employment opportunities.
As soon as this point of view came out, it immediately caused a strong reaction from netizens
Some people agree with Peng's view, arguing that delaying the retirement age is a solution to the problem of China's aging society. However, more netizens objected, believing that delaying retirement would lead to long working hours and increase the burden on ordinary people.
Some netizens commented: Where is Mr. Peng Xizhe, I want to bring some specialties to see you
Some netizens said: Teacher Peng Xizhe, my grandmother is 80 years old this year, to be honest, she can't be idle at home, please introduce her to a job, 9 to 5 in the morning, and weekends. One can have seven or eight thousand, after all, he is old. Just make a little money
It can be seen that everyone has a unanimous attitude against the views put forward by experts on extending the retirement age
Postponing the retirement age is not something that happens overnight
Precise analysis and adjustment are required according to the economic development and demographic situation of each region.
The policy adjustment of the retirement age should take into account the actual situation of each region and combine it with the reform of the pension system. In this way, the social goal of all-round prosperity can be achieved. When developing policies, there is a need to balance the needs of older people against the employment opportunities of young people, and find a balance.
Delaying the retirement age may create more employment opportunities and career development space for young people, but it also needs to take into account the work pressure and physical condition of ordinary workers.
Therefore, when implementing a delayed retirement policy, appropriate compensation and protection should be provided to ensure that older people can live out their old age with dignity and younger people can better use their talents.
In the context of the increasingly prominent issue of ageing, the postponement of the retirement age is a topic that requires in-depth discussion and careful consideration. The government and relevant departments should take into account economic, social and personal factors comprehensively to find the most suitable retirement age scheme to promote social progress and development.
