China’s youth face growing job crisis

A prolonged economic slump has caused a youth unemployment crisis in China.

In 2023, the rate of 16 to 24-year-olds unable to find jobs reached a record high of 21.3 percent.

After those figures were released, the government halted reporting before changing its policy to exclude university students.

According to the latest figures, the rate is now 15.7 percent. Young people claim that if they can find a job that pays low, they must make a deal.
