In 2013, residents of Jilin can expect their quality of life to improve, according to a recent government work report.
Leaders of the province, located in Northeast China, promised noticeable improvements in almost all sectors of daily life, ranging from retirement and medical care to employment and social security.
This year, pensions for retired corporate employees are to increase by no less than 10 percent. This comes on the heels of a 15.6 percent rise in 2012 that brought their average monthly pension to 1,370 yuan ($220), said an official from the provincial human resources and social security department.
