The Chinese government is implementing stronger protections for workers who remain employed after reaching retirement age. This initiative aims to sustain the country's labor force amid a declining working-age population and falling birth rates. The new rules specify wage requirements and prohibit overtime work for senior employees to encourage continued participation in the workforce.

These measures reflect China's broader strategy to address labor shortages and demographic changes impacting its economy.
