A Japanese company encourages people to retire at the age of 80: New news on the delay of retirement age in various countries in 2020

Nojima, a well-known Japanese home appliance retailer, recently announced that even if employees reach the original retirement age of 65, if they are willing to stay, they can be renewed on a "one-year contract" basis as long as their health status and work attitude meet the company's requirements, and they will be employed continuously until they are 80 years old. This has sparked widespread discussion on retirement age, and it also became a hot topic on Weibo today.

At present, the population structure in countries around the world is aging, and the pressure to pay pensions is increasing. To meet the challenges, countries have taken countermeasures, and many countries are considering delaying the statutory retirement age. At present, the statutory retirement age in most countries is between 60 and 65 years old. After the adjustment, the retirement age in many countries will be raised to over 65 years old, while Japan, Singapore and other countries plan to adjust the retirement age to 70 years old at most. France is currently negotiating on postponing pension system reform.

Old age!

A Japanese company has lowered the retirement age for its employees from 65 to 80

According to a United Nations report, the global population is entering an aging stage. Population aging is likely to become one of the most important social trends in the 21st century, affecting almost all areas of society.

When it comes to countries with the most serious aging problems, Japan must be mentioned. Japan entered an aging society as early as the 1970s, and the aging level has become increasingly serious. It has now become a veritable super-aged society. Nowadays, there are many elderly people in Japan who are over 60 years old and still actively working, and it has become the norm for elderly people to find re-employment after retirement. In 2018, the employment rates of the elderly in the age groups of 60-64, 65-69, 70-74 and over 75 were 68.8%, 46.6%, 30.2% and 9.8% respectively.
