China is set to raise its retirement age for the first time in decades, a move approved by lawmakers to address the country's demographic challenges. The decision comes as China faces a looming crisis with falling birth rates and an aging workforce, threatening the sustainability of its social security system and economic growth. The current retirement age, among the world's lowest, will be gradually increased, though specific details on how and when this will be implemented remain unclear. This policy shift has sparked widespread debate and concern among the Chinese public, with many expressing their dissatisfaction on social media platforms. The change aims to mitigate the effects of an aging population and the expected departure of approximately 300 million people from the workforce over the next decade.
