《English Translation》

黄刚: Did you see the news? Some companies are reassigning female managers who are nearing 50 to ordinary positions so they can be forced into early retirement under company rules.
陈花: I saw that. Doesn’t this conflict with the national delayed retirement policy? The state wants female employees to gradually extend retirement to 55.
黄刚: Yes. Companies do this mainly to save labor costs, but it’s very unfair to those female employees.
陈花: Many still have mortgages and children in school. Retiring at 50 would greatly reduce their income and increase life pressures.
黄刚: Now the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security is drafting new rules to protect the rights of over-age workers, requiring companies to pay work injury insurance for retirees who keep working.
陈花: I think the key is to prevent disguised layoffs like this. Companies shouldn’t just reassign positions to force people out.
黄刚: Exactly. Experienced female employees are valuable assets. If companies arrange roles more flexibly, they can actually retain more talent.
陈花: I hope future laws and policies can truly protect them, making both work and life more secure.
