China has begun implementing one of the most significant pension policy reforms in decades, as the country confronts rapid population aging and mounting pressure on its workforce and social protection systems. It is in the early stages of a 15-year transition to gradually raise the statutory retirement age, following a reform approved in 2024 — the first major change in over 70 years. Under the new policy, the retirement age for men will increase from 60 to 63, while women’s retirement ages will also rise depending on employment category.
