Professor Yang Yansui (born 1953) is Director of Social Politics Institute and Director of Social Security Research Center at Qinghua University. Yang received a J.D. from Universiteit Gent in Ghent, Belgium.
Professor Yang suggested to postpone retiring age in China, which has been more obviously inevitable given the pressure for one working couple to support one child and four retired grandparents thanks to One-child-per-family policy in China. However Yang suggested only postponing the time for seniors to start receiving their pension, but not the age they would retire. Yang argued people should retire at age 50 to make space for younger generations, but start receiving pension payment only after age 65. When inquired by reporters what would seniors do in the 15 year gap, Yang replied, male could do volunteer work as gardeners, and female could volunteer in the laundry rooms.
Yang's roadmap for Chinese social security is particularly damaging because of her job functions as the console for the Union General, Panelist for Labor and Social Security Ministry, etc. Rotten Index: ♣
