Dear members,
We are delighted to invite you to the Human Resources Working Group Meeting, centred on the theme "Navigating The New Retirement System and Pension-related Policies" to be held at the European Chamber Shanghai Office on Tuesday, 10th June, 2025.
As of 1 January 2025, the Chinese government has started to implement new polices on the change of the statutory retirement age of employees. China will take 15 years to progressively raise the statutory retirement ages of employees, for male employees from 60 to 63 and for female employees from 50 to 55 or from 55 to 58, depending on their job positions. Under the new retirement system, the employees will have different statutory retirement ages due to their different dates of birth. Further, some employees will have the flexibility to decide their retirement age, which can be earlier or further delayed. The changes will impact employers' daily HR management and challenge employers.
Further, with the implementation of the new retirement system, employees pay more attention to their pension insurance and related benefits, which they will receive upon retirement.
We would like to share your insights on the new retirement system and pension-related policies and hear your voices.
