xinhua news agency, beijing, september 13 (reporters huang yao and zhou yuan) in the decision of the standing committee of the national people's congress on the implementation of the gradual delay of the statutory retirement age announced on the 13th, what are the provisions on voluntariness and flexibility? how to implement it specifically? qi tao, director of the pension insurance department of the ministry of human resources and social security, explained it in detail on the large-scale all-media interview program "china economic roundtable" launched by xinhua news agency on the 13th.

qi tao said that adhering to voluntary and flexible policies is to adapt to the diversified needs of workers and reflect respect for personal wishes. employees can choose to retire flexibly in advance or postpone according to their own wishes and actual conditions, and the longest advance and postponement period shall not exceed 3 years.

"after the reform, the retirement age of employees has expanded from a rigid node to a flexible range, increasing the space for free choice," said qi tao.

according to the reform measures, if you voluntarily choose to retire flexibly in advance, your retirement age must not be lower than the original statutory retirement age. for example, for a male employee born in september 1968, the statutory retirement age after the reform is 61. if he chooses to "flex" forward 3 years to 58 years old, it will be lower than the original statutory retirement age of 60 years old, so he can only retire in advance at the earliest at 60 years old.

qi tao said that the reform measures also emphasized that the implementation must not violate the wishes of employees, and must not illegally force or covertly force employees to choose their retirement age, which fully reflects the principles of voluntariness and flexibility.
