  • Summary

  • China's pension system faces a severe crisis due to a rapidly aging population and declining birth rates. The existing three-pillar system—basic state pensions, voluntary corporate pensions, and individual pensions—is struggling under the weight of a shrinking workforce and structural flaws. Proposed reforms, such as raising the retirement age and promoting private pensions, face significant resistance and may be insufficient to avert a shortfall. The podcast explores the demographic and economic challenges, policy responses, and the potential for future instability if comprehensive changes aren't implemented.
