Furthermore, China’s low retirement age – 50 for women and 60 for men – provides policymakers with considerable room to maneuver. Increasing the retirement age by just a half-year for each of the next ten years would more than compensate for the annual decline in the labor force, which is projected to be 2.5 million workers during this period.
与此同时，中国的低退休年龄——女性50岁和/男性60岁——为政策制定者们提供了相当大的回旋余地。只需在未来每十年将退休年龄提高半年就足以补偿每年约250万劳动力的流失。
