The indexation mechanism on benefit is one of the fundamental factors for public pension system. Most of the countries have made the legislation on pension benefit adjustment mechanism which normally use the Consumer Price Index or wage growth index as a reference and apply the principals of finance sustainability, distribution, incentive and consistency of policies. To strengthen the sustainability of pension system, some countries of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development have recently introduced the auto adjustment mechanism on pension benefit indexation which usually incorporates longevity and finance conditions and other factors into consideration. From 2005, China has undergone a process of 13 consecutive adjustments on basic pension benefits. However, a normative mechanism on pension benefit adjustment is not established yet. The 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China had announced that “we should act on the policy requirements to help those most in need, to build a tightly woven safety net, and to build the necessary institutions, as we work to develop a sustainable multi-tiered social security system.” The introduction of a normal adjustment mechanism of pension benefits is one of the most important tasks that protects the livelihood of the elders and promotes the sustainability of pension finance. Drawing the international experience, China should also introduce a pension benefit adjustment mechanism based on wage growth index and take dependency ratio and finance conditions into consideration as benchmark factors on pension benefit adjustment. The outcomes on calculation show that a comprehensive adjustment index which includes those two factors is better than the one of single wage index. In addition, to promote the adequacy and sustainability of pension system, other reform measures such as stronger contribution incentive, longer contribution years, postpone of retirement age and the investment of pension funds should be implemented as soon as possible.
