China's retirement age increase / Rise in Group B Streptococcus virus cases
主持人：Danny Gittings and Janice Wong
In our main topic today, we're talking about China’s decision to raise its retirement age for the first time in more than 70 years. Starting next year, the retirement age will be gradually raised to 63 for men, 55 for women in blue-collar jobs and 58 for women in managerial positions.
The changes are necessary to stop China’s pension fund from running out of money and in line with global trends. But what impact will they have on a labour market where many already struggle to find jobs? We find out.
After 9:45, we speak to a doctor about the growing number of cases involving a potentially deadly bacteria linked to freshwater fish.
