[Silver Bridge] Volume 5 · Chapter 1: The country that changed Beijing's retirement age in four months

1. On January 1, 2025, China changes its statutory retirement age for the first time in 70 years: men from 60 to 63 and women in production jobs from 50 to 55, phased in over 15 years.
2. Hanguk's statutory retirement age has been 60 since 2016, but National Pension Service benefits begin at 65, leaving a five-year gap; the author points out that the relative poverty rate for those aged 66 and over is 39.7%.
3. The author argues that Hanguk should look beyond the rigid, uniform system and examine flexible designs such as phased retirement and re-employment. The article is also a column promoting the author's book.
