摘要
背景
退休制度的建立是人类社会发展和进步的标志之一。虽然有研究表明,我国自古就有“官员致仕”的做法,但作为一种规范性制度,其形成还应是工业化以后的事情。退休制度建立以后,各国均将其作为现代社会保障体系的组成部分。依据各自的国情,各国政府在退休年龄、退休金水平以及领取退休金条件等方面均做了明确规定并不断完善。
China is rapidly ageing.Working-age population will be declining and demand and cost for old-age support increasing.Raising retirement age has been proposed to be an approach to addressing the ageing challenge,being a central theme of the recent hot debate over China's pension gap.While raising retirement age will not change anything with regard to China's population size and structure,it will expand labour force population.If retirement age were to increase from 60 to 65 in the next 30 years,working-age population would have an annual increment of 3 million people,thus helping relieve the ageing pressure and prolong the demographic dividend.Raising retirement age could enlarge national pension fund stocking,which helps ease the government's payment pressure and reduce future pension risk;but it could also reduce individual rate of return.Since retirement age is different for males and females,retirement policy needs to be adjusted to equalize the retirement age between the two sexes.However,retirement policy adjustment must be preceded with great caution,in a best manner and at a best time.
