China's gradual delayed statutory retirement age reform is set to be officially implemented on January 1,2025.Implementing delayed retirement is an inevitable choice to actively address population aging and requires a broad perspective and long-term view to understand and leverage its significance.During the progressive implementation phase,an in-depth analysis of the mechanism of delayed retirement is essential.This paper uses the life-cycle theory of macroeconomics and a general equilibrium perspective to systematically explain the mechanisms of delayed retirement in terms of human capital,em-ployment,income,finance,and social security.Additionally,it conducts a forward-looking analysis of the potential policy ef-fects,aiming to encourage voluntary delayed retirement decisions among individuals and provide theoretical support for the co-ordinated optimization of the labor employment system and pension system.
