Has everyone seen this picture? There is a sentence in it that says that people born in the 1990s (including 1990), regardless of gender, can only retire after the age of 65, which caused an uproar on the Internet. The account that posted this content is called "Voice of Supervision." At first glance it looked official, but I couldn't find the certification information after searching for a long time. The account's introduction is "Here is your voice." It doesn't look like an official account.
Looking further down, this account has changed its name several times since it was registered in 2017 to today. The last name change is today. It was called "Voice of Market Supervision" when it was registered in 2017, and the name was changed to "Voice of Supervision" in 2018. It has been renamed again today. The article published by this account quoted at the beginning of the "Decision of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on Further Comprehensively Deepening Reforms and Promoting Chinese-style Modernization" issued by Xinhua News Agency on July 21, regarding "actively responding to the aging of the population." The original text of the decision is "In accordance with The principles of voluntariness and flexibility will be followed in a steady and orderly manner." The self-media public account uses this sentence as its title. In addition to quoting the original text of the document, it also adds a lot of interpretation content other than official documents, mostly speculation and analysis.
Where does the saying that all those born in the 1990s retire at the age of 65 come from? At the same time as this article, there was also a "Delayed Age Calculation Table for Delayed Retirement Policy from 2025 to 2055" that caused forwarding and discussion. This table actually appeared online in March and April this year, and many bloggers who reprinted it added a note: for reference only. In other words, this table is also not an accurate official table and has no meaning for comparison.
So to sum up, this article about the post-90s generation delaying their retirement until the age of 65 is a conclusion and speculation based on a self-made table made by a netizen. The article on this public account also contains this paragraph: "Before the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security officially announces the retirement delay plan, it is difficult to accurately calculate how long everyone will delay retirement. However, the so-called 'progressive' refers to gradually extending retirement little by little. Age...please note that 65 years old is not an absolute conclusion." This is like someone bragging and then adding, "It may not be possible, not necessarily." It seems that he has said it, but it seems that he has not said it, leaving himself a way out and saying a disclaimer.
In fact, there are some articles and social discussions on this issue, but in fact the reason why there is such a big public opinion is that the avatar and name of the public account are highly similar to the official account, which makes netizens mistakenly think that it is official information. In fact, it is an act that damages credibility. The social security system is closely related to everyone and is a serious public welfare issue that should not be misinformed or misunderstood. Perhaps the platform should also increase scrutiny of similar accounts to prevent it from happening again.
