I'm applying for retirement in China

I’m turning 55 this year which is eligible for women’s retirement in China. I had ever worked for 12 years before I quit the job and moved to Australia. In 2013 I came back to China. Then in 2015 I joined the national social security system and started buying insurances for both medicare and aged pension. In China the government has a policy allowing people to get retirement payment as long as he/she has made at least 15 years of contribution in forms either working or buying insurance.

If my application for retirement gets approved I will get the pension which is not much but I will get by with that little money.

Glad you’ve taken steps for your retirement. We all need help when we are older and it’s good you have that behind you. Much peace.

I’m happy to hear you can retire. I’m about your age and have nothing planned for retirement except work. I was sick most of my life so could not work. Now, I can work but have no resources. I wish I were in your situation. Although I like working since it keeps me busy; the reality is that I have to work to survive and have no choice You are blessed!!

That’s great news and 55 is also very early to be able to get retirement benefits. Here the legal retirement age is 67.
