中国退休年龄制度中的悖论

The Paradox of China's Retirement Age System

通过实证研究和中外文献比较,发现中国退休年龄制度中存在悖论。其刚性的义务性退休年龄规范同时假定"照顾女性"与"强制退休"这两种不能同时成立的前提,严重滞后于现实需求和国际立法潮流。其结论必然背离初衷,为此已引发大量性别歧视纠纷,危及社会稳定,并阻碍男女平等基本国策的实施及中国政府履行反歧视公约义务。应当以"赋权"两性取代"照顾"女性,设置双轨制弹性退休制度。

This paper argues from empirical research and comparison of foreign and Chinese literature that China＇s retirement age system is flawed.The obligatory retirement age system incorporates two incompatible premises： women＇s welfare and forced retirement.The system lags behind current demand and international legislation trends.It has deviated from its original intentions and caused gender discrimination disputes jeopardizing social stability,hindering the implementation of the gender equality state policy and preventing China＇s fulfillment of the CEDAW.In place of it,there needs to be a double-track system to empower the employee rather than simply taking care of women＇s needs.
