China’s ridiculously early retirement (50 for women, 60 for men) ages get revised upward, as the country rebalances against a declining working population. Some interesting tidbits from this: women’s retirement age is further split according to type of work (earlier for blue collar manual), as well as the mandatory nature of retirement often being used by corps to exit more expensive managers in favour of younger, cheaper up and comers. I had a great conversation with brainfooder Anne-Marie McCaughan on Brainfood Tribune on this - reach out to AM if you want insight on China hiring.
