Abstract：Since the reforms and opening up in the 1980's, Chinese scholars have increasingly questioned the fairness and rationality of retirement age policy. Public demand, especially among women who work in government agencies and institutions, for equal retirement age policy has been rising. Based on the 3rd National Survey on the Status of Chinese Women, this paper has found that women and men who work for governments have similar levels of education and health status. However, women's actual retirement age is significantly lower than that of men. Moreover, women's actual retirement age is also significantly lower than the policy retirement age. Compared with that of ten years ago, women's actual retirement age has declined, and the gap of actual retirement age between sexes has enlarged. The decline of women's actual retirement age is having negative impact on women's career development and post-retirement life. The paper argues for the adoption of equal retirement age policy to protect the legitimate rights and interests of women working in government agencies and institutions.
