Abstract

This article presents the important research findings of our study on whether delayed retirement will affect the health of Chinese workers from the perspective of sustainability of physical health. The treatment group is those who continue to work after the current statutory retirement age and the control group are those who no longer work after current statutory retirement age, and the physical health of these people is used as a dependent variable. The samples are selected from the following six regions of China: Shanghai, Chengdu, Guangzhou, Beijing, Zhengzhou, and Shenyang. Quantitative studies of physical health status of the samples are carried out. The study illustrates that for female manual workers who are younger than 63 years old, female non-manual workers who are younger than 66 years old, male manual workers who are younger than 64 years old, and male non-manual workers who are younger than 67 years old, delaying retirement, and continuing to stay in work has no effect on their physical health. After these chronological age stages, however, it has significant impact on their health. These research findings have significant impact and value for the design of China’s delayed retirement policy.
