低龄老年人“再就业”实践的鼓励机制研究

Research on the Encouragement Mechanism for the “Re-Employment” Practice of Younger Elderly

摘要: 人口老龄化背景下，中国60~69岁低龄老年人规模已超1.5亿，形成重要人力资源储备。伴随人均预期寿命延长与健康水平提升，大量老年人退出正式就业后仍具备继续参与社会生产的能力与意愿，与现行退休制度形成“长寿红利”窗口期。然而，当前低龄老年人再就业面临制度保障并不完善，且社会认知仍存在滞后。一方面，政策规定与实践衔接层面落实性存疑，劳动权益保障不足；另一方面，社会对老年就业价值认同有限，“与青年争岗”等争议持续存在。低龄老年人再就业不仅能够满足老年人对于继续劳动工作的意愿、充实老年生活，并且能够运用其丰富的经验促进生产力的发展。本文将从我国低龄老年人“再就业”的社会发展现状出发，剖析我国低龄老年人“再就业”面临的现实困境，从而提出相应的鼓励路径和解决建议。

Abstract: In the context of population aging, the number of young elderly aged 60~69 in China has exceeded 150 million, forming a significant human resource reserve. With the extension of average life expectancy and improvement in health standards, a large number of elderly people, even after withdrawing from formal employment, still possess the ability and willingness to continue participating in social production, creating a “longevity dividend” window period in contrast to the current retirement system. However, the current institutional safeguards for the re-employment of young elderly are not perfect, and societal perception still lags behind. On the one hand, there are doubts about the implementation of policy provisions at the level of practice, and labor rights and interests are not sufficiently protected; on the other hand, society’s recognition of the value of elderly employment is limited, and controversies such as “competing with youth for jobs” persist. The re-employment of young elderly not only satisfies their desire to continue working and enriches their elderly life, but also utilizes their rich experience to promote the development of productivity. This article will analyze the current social development status of “re-employment” among young elderly in China, explore the practical difficulties they face, and propose corresponding encouragement paths and solutions.
