Li Jiange is now the headmaster of the Israel Institute of technology in Guangdong.The Guangdong Israel Institute of technology is a Sino foreign cooperative university, established by the Shantou University and the Israel Institute of technology. Prior to this, Li Jiange served as vice chairman ofthe Commission, CICC chairman and other positions. In an interview carried out by the Financial Tencent, Li Jiange said, when he worked at the development research center of the State Council, he organized a lot of famous foreign scholars to write research report, as well as gave the suggestion, " Postpone the Chinese’s retirement age step by step, as that may ease the labor shortage and pension gap in the future".
Some scholars have warned that China's demographic structure is changing and that Chinese people would become old before they are rich in the future. Li Jiange hold the belief that, in addition to the use of innovative ways to alleviate the problem of aging, "the next step we may have more loose policy in fertility."." His view is that the one-child policy will not be released any longer, and people will not come into an age of population explosion again as some have feared. "We used to think Asians have more-children-more-happiness concept, later we found that in Chinese regions like Hongkong, Taiwanand Singaporeor the places which have the East Asian culture including SouthKorea, Japan and so forth, it is actually very difficult to let them restore the original family tradition once the fertility culture change. Therefore, even if the family planning policy is loose, it will not lead to the release of the population on the explosive growth. According to Singapore's experience of carrying out family planning, and later encouraging fertility, itis difficult to achieve explosive growth."
李劍閣現在的身份是廣東以色列理工學院校長。廣東以色列理工學院是一所中外合作大學，由汕頭大學和以色列理工學院合作建校。在此之前，李劍閣曾經擔任過證監會副主席、中金公司董事長等職務。接受騰訊財經采訪時，李劍閣說，之前他在國務院發展研究中心時，就曾組織過很多國外著名學者撰寫研究報告，向國家建議，“要分步驟地推遲中國人的退休年齡，這樣未來可能緩解勞動力短缺和養老金出現缺口的未來”。
已經有一些學者發出提醒，中國的人口結構在發生變化，未來中國可能會未富先老。李劍閣對此的看法是，對于老齡化問題，除了用創新方式來緩解之外，“下一步可能在生育方面會有更加寬松的政策。”他的觀點是，生育政策全部放開，也不會像有些人擔心的那樣，再次進入人口大爆炸年代。“過去我們認為亞洲人都是多子多福，后來發現香港、臺灣、新加坡這些華人地區，包括韓國、日本這些東亞文化的地方，一旦生育文化發生改變以后，再讓他們重新恢復原來生育的傳統其實很難，所以現在放開生育政策，也不要以為一放開以后人口就爆發性的增長。根據新加坡曾經執行計劃生育，后來又鼓勵生育的經驗，爆發性增長是很難達到的。”
