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."
李剑阁现在的身份是广东以色列理工学院校长。广东以色列理工学院是一所中外合作大学，由汕头大学和以色列理工学院合作建校。在此之前，李剑阁曾经担任过证监会副主席、中金公司董事长等职务。接受腾讯财经采访时，李剑阁说，之前他在国务院发展研究中心时，就曾组织过很多国外著名学者撰写研究报告，向国家建议，“要分步骤地推迟中国人的退休年龄，这样未来可能缓解劳动力短缺和养老金出现缺口的未来”。
已经有一些学者发出提醒，中国的人口结构在发生变化，未来中国可能会未富先老。李剑阁对此的看法是，对于老龄化问题，除了用创新方式来缓解之外，“下一步可能在生育方面会有更加宽松的政策。”他的观点是，生育政策全部放开，也不会像有些人担心的那样，再次进入人口大爆炸年代。“过去我们认为亚洲人都是多子多福，后来发现香港、台湾、新加坡这些华人地区，包括韩国、日本这些东亚文化的地方，一旦生育文化发生改变以后，再让他们重新恢复原来生育的传统其实很难，所以现在放开生育政策，也不要以为一放开以后人口就爆发性的增长。根据新加坡曾经执行计划生育，后来又鼓励生育的经验，爆发性增长是很难达到的。”
