Apparently, Women Cadre don’t have the Same Age Retirement in China

Posted By James Flanagan

This was news to me, via China CSR, here:

[...]Chen Zhili, the chairperson of the All-China Women’s Federation, has called on Beijing to take a proactive role in making the retirement age for female cadres and intellectuals the same as their male counterparts. [...]

Side note, the ACWF is an organization of women established in China in March 1949. It was constructed as a mass organization supported by the Communist Party of China, and based on Marxist theory. (see wikipedia). Fun fact, in 1995 the ACWF began to refer to itself as a non-governmental organization, although it is a government-operated operation.
