flag China’s senior job program aids over 500 older adults since 2024, boosting employment and the silver economy.

flag In China, government-backed programs are helping seniors aged 50 and above (women) or 60 and older (men) find new jobs and purpose through free training and job placement, with over 500 people assisted by 30 service stations since the launch of the first senior HR center in Jiangsu Province in 2024. flag This initiative supports a national strategy to address an aging population—over 310 million people are 60 or older, making up 22% of the population—by promoting senior employment, expanding the "silver economy," and easing age restrictions in work and social security. flag Around 20 million people are expected to retire annually, and surveys show nearly half of those aged 60 to 69 are willing to work, driven by both income needs and social engagement. flag Seniors are taking on roles in domestic work, modern agriculture, community service, and digital platforms like Xiaohongshu, which reported over 30 million users aged 60 and above by late 2024. flag Experts say these trends are fostering new business models and supporting long-term economic and social sustainability.
