Japan to raise retirement age of civil servants April 1.

7 comments

1. The retirement age of Japan’s national and local civil servants will be raised to 61 at the start of April from the current 60 as part of measures to address labor shortages partly reflecting the country’s declining population.

   The retirement age will be then raised by one year every two years until it reaches 65 in fiscal 2031.

2. They’ll show France how it’s done.

3. 60 is waaaaaaay too young to retire. When life expectancy was barely 70 fine, but not now.

4. They still don’t get their pensions until 65. Both my in laws are civil servants and are working part time between 60 and 65 since they can’t collect their pensions

5. Must be a April Fools’ joke ^(/s)

6. Terrible idea especially as grandparents are still a major source of childcare in Japan.

   Czecha has great success in making it easier for grandparents to have more time as part of pronatalism program
