China is growing smaller and older.

I think this is interesting.

What is odd, why is their retirement age so low? 🤷‍♂️

[quote]It gave no details, but the government has been debating raising the official retirement ages of 60 for men, 55 for white-collar female workers and 50 for blue-collar female workers.[/quote]

Most industrial nations it's at least above 62 for both men and women. And even then most are talking about raising their retirement age. Some as high as 70.
