Date:2009-03-31
Q:What do you think about the government’s suggestion to raise the retirement age?

“I think it depends on what job you’re doing. The retirement age could rise for intellectual industries but not for manual workers.” |

Zhang Dongmei 56 Shanghai retired |
"“It’s a good idea. These days people live longer, so why not raise the age they retire." |

Su Xing 46 Jiangsu Province manager |
" This is a good thing for social development. The average life expectancy is getting longer and longer. To some extent, 50 or 60 is not that old for most residents." |

"I’m afraid this might make it even more difficult for graduates to find a job and for other employees to get promotions, especially during the recession." |
 |
Mou Hong 49 Shanghai sales |
"I think women should enjoy life in their 50s. Everyone’s energy is limited. So I don’t think it is good to prolong retirement." |
