Abstract

To verify whether the aging workers' employment conditions become worse in aging society compared to pre‐aging society, and, if so, whether discrimination can explain for this kind of phenomenon, using data from the China Health and Nutrition Survey questionnaire (1997, 2000, 2004 and 2006), this paper examines the reemployment of retirees in China's aging society. This paper finds that the aging workers' employment conditions became worse, and discrimination could account for the lower share of elderly rehires in 2004 and 2006, in comparison with 1997 and 2000.
