Working beyond retirement: What does China's new framework for over-age workers mean?
from Chat Lounge
Retirement, is it really the end of the road? China doesn't seem to think so. The country has unveiled its first nationwide rules to protect over-age workers, including eligible foreign employees. Why now? Will the new protections encourage people to work longer, or make employers think twice? And how does China's approach compare with other aging societies? Host TU Yun joins Dr. Lauren Johnston, Senior Research Fellow, AustChina Institute (Melbourne), Mr. Bai Xianyue, Partner, Grandall Law Firm Tianjin Office, and Dr. Li Lun, Assistant Professor of Economics, Peking University to explore what these landmark rules could mean for the future of work in China and beyond.
