]]> China will “gradually raise” its retirement age for the first time since the 1950s, as the country confronts an ageing population and a dwindling pension budget.

The top legislative body on Friday approved proposals to raise the statutory retirement age from 50 to 55 for women in blue-collar jobs, and from 55 to 58 for females in white-collar jobs.

Men will see an increase from 60 to 63.

China’s current retirement ages are among the lowest in the world.

According to the plan passed on Friday, the change will set in from 1 January 2025, with the respective retirement ages raised every few months over the next 15 years, said Chinese state media.

]]> March 17 (UPI) — More than 300 people have been arrested amid protests against French President Emmanuel Macron‘s decision to bypass the French legislature to apply changes to pension policy, including an increase to the age of eligibility from 62 to 64.

Most of the arrests were in Paris, French Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin told the local RTL radio station. Hundreds of protesters there briefly blocked traffic early Friday.

Darmanin warned against disruptive actions, which have included burning effigies of government officials, targeting public buildings and starting fires.

“The opposition is legitimate, the protests are legitimate, but wreaking havoc is not,” he said, according to The Guardian.

]]> French unions and demonstrators have taken to the streets on Thursday in widespread industrial action against the government’s projected pension reforms.

President Emmanuel Macron’s administration seeks to raise France’s official retirement age from 62 — lower than much of Europe and the U.S. — to 64. This is the head of state’s second attempt to overhaul the pension system, after scrapping a 2019 proposal to introduce a point-based retirement plan during his first mandate due to public uproar. Macron cemented his pensions focus during this New Year address, stressing, “This will effectively be the year of retirement.”

The pension reform is “just and responsible” and must be carried out, Macron said Thursday, according to Reuters.

Early indications suggest the latest bill is proving equally lackluster with the French public, with 68% appearing “hostile” to the measure, according to an IFOP study.
