I'm told Shandong province will hire to teach English to age 65, and provinces north very cold will also hire you because nobody wants to work there. Brigham Young has a program for geriatrcs to teach in China also, maybe check their website. You can send a message to ambivalentmace, I know he has 3 teachers at his company over 60, but he want answer your message probably until late august when he gets back from Syria.

The reason for not hiring persons after they become 60 years of age (some places 62, others 65) is the health insurance cover.  No Chinese company will cover you after 60 years of age.  But one thing that you can do is to get yourself a private (State sponsor coverage like Medicare in USA are not acceptable, because will not pay if you are in China) health insurance carrier to cover you, and then you will be able to work, since there is no law prohibiting you from working if you comply with the requisites for the job as if you were under 60 years of age

Hotwater:

That's interesting to know. Friend of mine has recently got a contract with Flextronics as Innovation director. They've had to employ him in Shanghai as they couldn't get him a work permit in Zhuhai. He's 65. Local labour bureau regulations, like most things in China, vary for place to place.

Answer of the DayMORE >>
A: No, it's not allowed to work under RP at 2nd job! I'd say, Z visa
A:No, it's not allowed to work under RP at 2nd job! I'd say, Z visa/RP sponsor can have an objections to your part-time job. I did the same at my English teaching in China and elsewhere, butT ... I casually mentioned at my prime job, some kindergarten or another school asked me to work with them part-time. Then, my Q: "Is that permitted?" ...  Answer from RP sponsor was always "Yes, but you can't be late or miss the classes at our school ..." with my reply: "No, our work schedule has a priority, and I'll arrange classes at kindergarten only in my free time." When I cleared that, I was undertaking any extra teaching hours at other schools and private students in my free time.Sometimes, teachers at my prime job asked me if I'm willing to have some extra classes elsewhere.I accepted after the talk with School's principal. I suggest, you test the felling at your Z/RP sponsor and once you see they don't object, you can work at 2nd job. Keeping your 2nd job as a secret from your employer won't work, 'cause you're laowai and Chinese know exactly what you do in your free time. However, despite your employer's agreement for extra work, you are still in violation of Chinese Labour law, and even if your sponsor agrees to your extra work, you can still get in trouble, because it's clearly written (somewhere ... ) that under Z/WP, one can work only at the Z-sponsor and nowhere else. Penalties ... I'd say, there won't be any warnings and you'll be required to exit China in short Exit time.It never happened to me, so I can't really advice how is when manure hits the fan ...  -- icnif77
