Abstract

This paper examines the relationships between delayed retirement and youth unemployment. In light of the life-circle hypothesis, it assumes that the income before retirement is fixed and the consumption level is also constant, perceiving all consumers as rational. All data comes from China Statistical Yearbook, which spans the years 2003 to 2020. The paper mainly uses logarithm processing, runs Pearson relevance and Hausman tests through STATA. It employs the youth unemployment rate as the explained variable and the working-age population as the explanatory variable. The findings show that the labour population of a city has a significantly positive effect on its unemployment rate. One percentage increase in the labour force will result in a 0.54 increase in youth unemployment. It might be ascribed to the stability, saturation of jobs and current economic situations, decreasing the jobs for young people. Therefore, it implies that delayed retirement increases youth unemployment, which is detrimental to social development. At last, the paper gives some policy suggestions to help governments deal with these issues.
