same here... i have a degree in accounting from one of the top schools in china... After 2 years, i still couldnt land an accounting job. I applied for 500+ positions. I only got 2 interviews. I got burned out in the end, now i just work as a waiter/server in a hotel. It's not necessarily im not competent enough, but when there r tens of thousands of qualified applicants, HR can only do so much to pick their hiring. They r not gonna look at all the applications. So u really need to have some luck in China to look for the job u want Yes i use VPN to watch youtube from china. Its common.
It's time to start creating companies rather than waiting for companies to hire you. Chinese people 1 generation ago with no education and no money dove into entrepreneurship. Create your own future!
@@drewh3224 As an employer, people have different personalities (strengths/weaknesses). Some are creators and some are maintainers. If you're not a creator, you have to find someone that is as a business partner. Just saying that someone should be an entrepreneur is a bit myopic in the sense that not everyone is mentally capable of being one. Just as some people are fantastic janitors but horrible accountants. Some traits cannot be learned.
I think world has become very unkind to the young graduates in every part of the world. I hope this changes as it is resulting in alarmingly high levels of depression and hopelessness among young minds whom we call our future. They are not even able to afford anything and even dreaming for them has become a painful luxury.
We (I mean companies and businesses) simply need more cheap labor not skilled labor. What was supposed to be "easy ticket" to jobs became filled with competition
I blame parents convincing their kids ino getting a degree because they think it will help them. I also thinkk there are a lot of useless degrees that should deleted or made into apprenticeships.
We all live in a digital connected world and Everyone one is realizing, that we are all nothing but Wage slaves, who would want to even have kids if that's also going to also be there're future.

they want people to have kids and go destitute, bc then the parents and the children will have no choice but go to the factory, all the educated people rich enough have moved overseas to earn there
That's the difference between china and western countries: Unemployed people her get even more children and then complain they cannot make end's meat because they have children to feed.

My nephew got his masters degree in computer science from a respected university in China, he was unemployed for more than 3 years, eventually he found a job but totally unrelated to his education and with a lower salary, the job market in China is in a pretty bad situation.
What made him different from anyone else?? That's the issue. People think, oh I have this degree and MUST get a job. Nope. You have to have other qualities, aka soft skills to be more valuable to the few jobs open. I only have a bachelor's in engineering, I'm 28, and now manage a group with many having masters and up.
Are you telling me that qualified applicants that send out 200 resumes and get no job get discouraged? Im shocked. I dont imagine firms intend to hire these people even a year after they graduate so i guess their future labour pool will be cut in half.
Sending out blind resumes is more a method of last resort to get a job. In an economy like China's the best method is knowing someone within the company. Then some type of mentorship or internship program. There is also the issue of fake job postings by major companies, so they look like they are healthy financially. I find sending out resumes is a time-consuming process if you want to be hired. It's not something you send out a generic resume to few hundred companies hoping for a bite. Each one takes researching the company, looking at their corporate jargon and incorporating that into your cover letter (add the company's core values to your letter), and sampling out all the skill keywords and putting them into your resume. With this method, I usually at least make it to the hiring recruiter and get a callback for 1 in 10 resumes. I also send out generic resumes to jobs I am not interested in or don't think I have a chance at getting. Usually, the response rate to those is 1 in 1000.
@@emptiester In China it can be thousands and no job. Blue collar sector is thriving they want young workers, but young people aren't taking those jobs. In China blue collar pays more salary, but they still won't take those jobs.
I am Chinese. The reason is now the China is unlike before, the crazy surge of wealth come from real estate and e-commerce is ended. Also most people are almost the same when they graduated. Those graduated students may not have the experience and skills that employers really need.
“Lying flat” is a Chinese slang term that means to take a break from work or to reject the pressure to overwork. The term “lying flat” is also known as “tang ping” in Chinese. The “lying flat” movement began in 2021. The movement calls on young workers and professionals to reject the struggle for workplace success. The movement's adherents are tired of the stress of working long hours and the pressure to keep climbing the ladder. Some see the movement as a warning of impending Japan-style stagnation. The “lying flat” movement has since morphed into the more extreme “Bai Lan” or “Let It Rot”

Their youth unemployment is most likely much higher than 20.8%. They count 1 hour of work per week as employment. Figures might be close to 40% Edit: Sources are WSJ, Bloomberg, Fortune and more. Don’t take my word for it. Google it yourself.
But blue collar sector in china is hiring like crazy. it's so bad that in Guangdong province they're brining in Africans to take those jobs. They need to fill those with young Chinese instead of africans.
Sure but the trick is finding a network of useful people with real power in the company in terms of hiring. A friend of a friend at a company who sees the job and thinks "company is hirng" are next to useless.
If your dad is a CFO, the network you get is some entry level position you will inevitably get laid off from the sec ol' pops retires. There's no hope even for nepo babies lmao.
I'm Chinese,and I can telling you guys that's more than that,Substantial wage arrears and worker insecurity and growing corruption and government surveillance, unemployment youth it's already like 40% ，Because the statistical method of the China Bureau of Statistics is that as long as you have money in your account, you are not considered unemployed. You are counted as a freelancer. This means that if you cannot find a job, you will not be counted as unemployed even if you get dozens of dollars begging on the Internet.

BRICS don't accept the dollar, it devaluation, or it's sanctions. US is terrified of BRICS removing it world trade status at %50 of the dollars global use.
Since 2000, China's economy has been in a phase of continuous growth. In the past 20 years, China has not faced a true economic crisis, even during the 2008 global financial crisis. Therefore, this current situation presents a real challenge for China. If resolved successfully, it could propel the entire society into the next stage of development. Twenty years ago, China was primarily a country focused on primary processing and manufacturing, with low technological and capital thresholds. Most people could benefit from it. However, China is now undergoing a transformation into an advanced manufacturing nation, with companies across various industries upgrading their capabilities. At this stage, ordinary people may not immediately enjoy the benefits of this transition.
Considering the massive demographic decline this is a really bad sign. In any other healthy economy there’d be a labor shortage and employers would be fighting tooth and nail for talented young people.
Usually a sign of being 'top heavy' in industry that's declining in wealth/growth. A growing economy would hire more people because the business supports expansion. China, can't start over, so the normal death, rebirth, renewal and growth can't be kept dormant or 'sleeping', especially if there's too much supply and not enough demand. The normal market trend is to deflate enough that new growth or new demand is possible. But, if you try to keep the market intact, that growth also has to be created artificially or via staged interventions. And, yeah, with demographic collapse, i.e. aging population, urban sprawl and debt/bankruptcy starting to push people out of cities, they are going to face a structural change in the population density. People will move out of dense cities when there's no opportunity. They probably would already have done so, except this is likely being prevented as well. Residency is controlled heavily, to keep economic indicators. A city that has no jobs available... looks successful until you start seeing riots, high value crime/thefts, moving trucks and bodies in the streets. not in that order. People will push against restrictions when they can't leave or go elsewhere and they gain a purpose or message. And that's the next decade in big cities. Either the upper class and middle class unemployed leave, start something/somewhere else, or they pull apart the walls looking for options. Eternal Growth isn't viable without steady expansion to support collapses and allow for a smoother path to failure/obsolesence. That's where China is now. They don't have that ramp or step to take to slow down the economy artificially. That stagnation can't be held forever across a wide range of industries and utilities. There's not enough 'escape valves' that can be pulled to start new growth, except perhaps war or debt consolidation/obscuring. Even then, War/Trade footings also require participants who need 'stuff'. Which is probably the third world at this point, there's not a lot of places that have the kind of trade volume china needs to grow and allow the normal volume of trade they've been used to handling. A depressed economy that has Delusional indicators, can really only rely on debt or credit loans to prop up businesses that aren't allowed to collapse. The lack of circulating money, slowly and inevitably drops value, but it takes a lot of collapse and defaults to reduce the purchasing value. If the market is being 'buffered', prices can't drop, and growth/supply can't resume. The normal demand also reduces because people don't have the same available income and luxury goods, utilities, investment and loans are going to suffer. When operating costs keep increasing due to debt/income loss, there is usually a need to move, contract or stop. When the market contracts, or there's a serious banking/government problem with spending, growth/planning is artificially stopped, hoping that the market will rebalance or prices will adjust to demand/supply levels. i.e. Seniors aren't leaving/retiring due to economic depression, so they won't hire new staff or start new projects that need trainees or extra labor. Execs stick around to gain more benefits, or simply to pay rising costs at home, or to pay off mortgage/loans/debts. New staff won't get brought in when there's division losses, and because there's nobody leaving, and nobody is making enough to expand, the business has to slow and contract, or drop staff and contract. Usually both. There are often 'base' industries that can survive a deflation/depression, but China isn't a normal economy, it has too much pride/face, and too much invested in government support, so it can't rely on protectionist or nationalist spending efforts to buffer the economy. Not unless it wants to bolster the youth market and focus on the middle class being moved into new areas.
Labor shortage? India, which actually having good economy growth also having same unemployment rate right now, why? Because somehow, these media totally looked over the fact that both India and China is not what they were few years ago, both now have more educated young workforce, which means they wont apply for factory workers but office workers while their economy is mostly focused on manufacturing jobs, obviously it will be a problem, but in a short term If this keep happening means worker cost in sectors that need educated workers like IT and finance gonna be plummet,this create growth for those sectors which cause transition from manufacturing economy to service economy
Exactely: it would be bad in poor African countries where there are too many teenagers competing for jobs, but it's extra worrisome in countries like china that don't have an oversupply of young laborers.
That last comment is interesting, especially since how, about 100+ yrs ago, students of traditional Chinese Confucian schools found themselves over-educated and unemployable in a changed world

Everyone keeps throwing this 20.8% number around, but I find the age range to be quite strange (16-24). Why would a 16-18 year old have a job, are they not supposed to be in secondary education? And isn’t there a large number of college students? That would mean that substantial number of 18-22 year olds also would not have jobs since they are in college. Can anyone explains to me the significance of this specific age range?
I am not challenging the percentage, I am asking why is that specific age range being used to qualify “youth unemployment” when a substantial portion of people in that age group are not supposed to have jobs at all
sure, but even if that is the case (according to Statista 59.7% of the 2022 age cohort attended college) those two year would have huge impact on that 20.8% metric@@AchiraDasgupta
Unemployment rates only count those actively looking for work. So this covers recent graduates looking for full time work or teenagers trying to part time work. It doesn't count students who aren't looking for work.
ancient china got it right, when an emperor died his concubines went with him. Now there is a plague of old ladies. this plague takes the jobs, or the young people pay taxes to support them.
There has been youth unemployment problems in China every year since I can remember. I think probably this year’s situation is not anything different from years past, but because of high visibility lay-offs from the tech sector, people paid more attention to it this year.
The issue has been getting so much attention that China decided to stop publishing the data altogether. Experts point to several reasons for the slow pace of hiring for recent graduates, including an imbalance in supply and demand for jobs that require a college degree and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the economy. Meanwhile, investment in real estate has plummeted, and policies from Beijing have forced property developers like Evergrande and Country Garden to default on their debts and eventually file for bankruptcy. Consumer confidence has been declining since the beginning of the year, and the service sector has been particularly weak. Imports and exports to and from the country are down in most sectors, and the Chinese government has cut interest rates in an effort to contain market volatility during the economic downturn.

China is advancing economically. In an effort to fill out certain high-yield fields like tech, they pushed a generation towards these sectors. Now they have a misallocation of workers. A full economy takes a balance of workers in many sectors. Using other nations as an example, this usually means a growing need for physical labor jobs. The issue is the devaluation of these jobs by college educated people who make decisions on compensation. Most of them cannot work in a field for 8 hours a day or perform a myriad of skilled trades. In the US this compensation is being adjusted as trade jobs like Truck Driving, Construction, and Utilities pay higher than most low to mid level tech jobs. The other issues China faces is its Communist system. For all the workers necessary for a healthy functioning economy, they are all secondary to the Communist Party. No matter how successful you are in China, you will never be able to have a higher quality of life than a member of the Communist Party. Given China's belt and road initiative, there is opportunity for young people abroad.
Just want to tell you one thing, a random rich guy in China can buy whatever luxuries he can afford, but not a single government officials of CCP dare to do so in public.
In Canada, you will be surprised if you know how many Uber drivers have their Master degree. We are living in a world that educated people could not find jobs in their field.

Why is CNBC so worried about Chinese youth unemployment? There are major concerns with homelessness, gun violence, unemployment, immigrants, inflation and economy over here in major cities.
You could tell that the video is unbalanced because CNBC doesn't have any reporters in China so all data available is open for interpretation. The video won't mention American youth unemployment which has the same levels as China's or that if China's trade is down so are its trading partners as it is correlated.

The statistics might be already after such "job guarantees". Chinese universities are directed not to confer degrees until the graduate has a job lined up, and so enroll them on paper in some useless task to check the box on the 1 hour per week as their "employment".
US people shall not discriminate China because China choose one party system instead of using two party system. One party system let China develop much faster. Nowadays China is much more developed than India, Brazil or other developing countries. Its streets are cleaner and safer than most developed countries.

You're right. As a Chinese person, I believe there are three main points: There is an imbalance between the supply and demand of talent. China produces a large number of high-quality talents every year, but there are very few job opportunities available. Too many people who shouldn't have received higher education are getting educated. While this helps stabilize society from the government's perspective, it wastes productivity for societal production. China's position in international affairs is ambiguous, resulting in consecutive economic sanctions (although I personally feel that even if the position is right, there may not be many benefits). The most significant issue is that for the government, stability is crucial even if it means sacrificing the happiness of the common people. Therefore, policies are designed to benefit national development, but they may not be favorable for individuals.
I am wondering what the economy of China in 2030 is supposed to look like when the country is too old and too rich to work in factories producing cheap stuff. India has a booming IT services sector. What will Chinese professionals be doing?

I sometimes wonder if these unemployment figures are true. This is because, the population figures may have been inflated by local governments to get more funding from the central government. One study (don't have a link to it) found that these figures may be inflated as much as 10% which means there might be reported figures for 100 million people across China that don't exist. If this is true it will mean Chinas demographic issues with the 1 child policy will come a lot sooner.
Ryan, China’s youth unemployment figure at around 21% is not true. The true figure as I have read is around 46%. In the U.S.A. and E.U. the figure is 10%.

I know that not everyone dreams of going abroad. But if you are well educated and your country is unable to provide you with enough good jobs, consider emigrating. Western Europe is aging rapidly, we need well-educated people here. Plus, after a few years spent in Europe, paradoxically, there may be an option to return to China for a good position. The worst thing you can do is waste time on searches that produce no results. In some European countries we did this, until the economy improved, people were wasting the best years of their lives in low-paid jobs. Those who did not wait and left gained the most. Years later, they came back with savings and got a good job because the situation had improved.

The same old story: there is fewer employment and so people consume less, therefore leading to more paying jobs disappearing, and so fewer people consume, and so on and so forth. No employment with a decent amount of disposable income equals no consumption.
those youth unemployment are high educated with college degree. The government punish heavily their tech industry such as Alibaba. Also Chinese ambition and aggression would limit foreign investment especially from Western countries. Xi Jin Ping common prosperity also cause issues as well.
Who the hell graduated with college degree at 16-24? In China most are still in high schools at the age of 18, started college at the age of 21, started degree at the age of 23 and graduate around 27. Of course these youths are unemployed because they are still studying?
It is between 16-24yrs. I don’t remember I had a meaningful job until 24yrs old, after my university. Before that only McDonald’s, Pizzahut, sandwich bars and coffee shops. This shows China is changing, meaning no youngsters want to work in sweatshops after their secondary school. 🎉
@@leezhieng Exactly. Statistics is one thing but interpretation of the statistics is another thing - there could be many other reasons including but not limited to (1)Chinese youngsters are spoiled by their parents; (2)the Chinese average family are rich enough not sending their children to employment for that age; (3)the youngsters don’t want to take low skilled jobs; (4)most youngsters are persuading higher education instead of talking up jobs; (5)Also there could be that the employers don’t want to hire youngsters because they lack of required skills (6) the job market is not good for youngsters. Without the follow-up survey it is difficult to understand the underlying reason for this phenomenon, and we need comparison between China and other OECD countries and developing countries.

According to the Chinese, external socio-economic factors don’t matter. Discipline matters. Intellect matters. According to the Chinese, success eludes other nationalities’/countries’ youth because they aren’t as hardworking or smart as the Chinese. Aren’t all Chinese nationals brilliant?

The Hardest job of a Govt is *Not to act* . Democracies by their nature inhibit this tendency, meanwhile authoritarian regimes without an opposition, are free to act as they wish, thus perpetuating, their own self fulfilling prophecy.
I would say the ability to act is one area where authoritarian governments have an advantage over democratic governments. Rather, democracy's greatest strength is the ability to reverse course on a failed policy when an opposition party comes to power. Authoritarian governments are more likely to continue failed policies because it becomes linked to their authority and legitimacy.
Every negative news about China is big news for western media. Last week: China in decline due to population drop and no workers. This week : there are workers but no jobs . 😁
Youth unemployment is common social phenomena in prosperous society. These Chinese kids grew up in times of economic prosperity, has not known or experience hardship, bitterness and what it's like to be poor. They become spoilt, choosy, complacent & has unrealistic expectations of job conditions & pay when they know they could live off their parents or the gov't handouts. In China's case it's mostly parents as they have put aside substantial savings and being the sole child in the family they have 2 parent & 4 grandparent (assuming all still alive) doting over them. Send them to the rural area and work on the farms together with the peasants and let them have a taste of hardship. That'll wake them up, knock some senses into them and learn to appreciate any job thats offered later.
If those theories regarding A.I - which posit a lot of job losses, including among the middle classes - come true, are we perhaps likely to see qualified people from 'developed' countries moving to 'developing' countries instead of working in their home economy, because their labour is still valued there?

Capitalism. This is a number of jobs vs population problem. Sure the world is not a zero sum game as many optimists would like to believe. But at the rate of population growth vs job creation which in turn uses resources on a currently finite earth be it physical space to establish work to actual material used in work. If there was infinite resource then physical space and value of resources wouldn't be a barrier, and everyone can get fed by automated bots, whilst they go off doing what they wish to be inventing or creating new stuff, or whatever it is they want. And that's not even delving into the sheer impracticality of asteroid mining for resources as many optimists would also point out. This non zero sum world is what capitalists would want to believe, yet the current resources are only being extracted from this Earth. Not only that but the waste created in land, sea, and atmospheric pollution is also being done at an unsustainable rate. In this sense, the system is created to benefit those now by living on 'borrowed time' or borrowed resources. The wealth generated sure is great, but even then it isn't properly distributed. The world population boom since the industrial revolution is at the cost of this borrowed resources and time that we have. Just like pumping out ground water to grow a field in a desert, when it runs out the fields will wither. To be sustainable, something has got to give. And this unemployment issue shines light on how it's becoming unsustainable for a new generation to thrive, much less survive, if it weren't for the previous generations borrowed wealth. It's now a normal thing, if not considered a good thing for countries to run a deficit, and America's deficit is in the trillions. Sure it can pay it off, but it'll gut the country to do so. Was capitalism worth it? It gave us plenty of thrills and enjoyment beyond what most of humanity could conceive off. But now we pay the price. But yaay Fortnite!

Are you telling me that qualified applicants that send out 200 resumes and get no job get discouraged? Im shocked. I dont imagine firms intend to hire these people even a year after they graduate so i guess their future labour pool will be cut in half.
That is my experience in usa. Sure its discouraging, but there is no alternative.
Sending out blind resumes is more a method of last resort to get a job. In an economy like China's the best method is knowing someone within the company. Then some type of mentorship or internship program. There is also the issue of fake job postings by major companies, so they look like they are healthy financially.
I find sending out resumes is a time-consuming process if you want to be hired. It's not something you send out a generic resume to few hundred companies hoping for a bite. Each one takes researching the company, looking at their corporate jargon and incorporating that into your cover letter (add the company's core values to your letter), and sampling out all the skill keywords and putting them into your resume. With this method, I usually at least make it to the hiring recruiter and get a callback for 1 in 10 resumes. I also send out generic resumes to jobs I am not interested in or don't think I have a chance at getting. Usually, the response rate to those is 1 in 1000.

“Lying flat” is a Chinese slang term that means to take a break from work or to reject the pressure to overwork.
The term “lying flat” is also known as “tang ping” in Chinese. The “lying flat” movement began in 2021.
The movement calls on young workers and professionals to reject the struggle for workplace success.
The movement's adherents are tired of the stress of working long hours and the pressure to keep climbing the ladder. Some see the movement as a warning of impending Japan-style stagnation.
The “lying flat” movement has since morphed into the more extreme “Bai Lan” or “Let It Rot”

Since 2000, China's economy has been in a phase of continuous growth. In the past 20 years, China has not faced a true economic crisis, even during the 2008 global financial crisis. Therefore, this current situation presents a real challenge for China. If resolved successfully, it could propel the entire society into the next stage of development. Twenty years ago, China was primarily a country focused on primary processing and manufacturing, with low technological and capital thresholds. Most people could benefit from it. However, China is now undergoing a transformation into an advanced manufacturing nation, with companies across various industries upgrading their capabilities. At this stage, ordinary people may not immediately enjoy the benefits of this transition.
Bubbles burst and reality unmasked. What else.
Considering the massive demographic decline this is a really bad sign. In any other healthy economy there’d be a labor shortage and employers would be fighting tooth and nail for talented young people.
Usually a sign of being 'top heavy' in industry that's declining in wealth/growth. A growing economy would hire more people because the business supports expansion.
China, can't start over, so the normal death, rebirth, renewal and growth can't be kept dormant or 'sleeping', especially if there's too much supply and not enough demand. The normal market trend is to deflate enough that new growth or new demand is possible. But, if you try to keep the market intact, that growth also has to be created artificially or via staged interventions.
And, yeah, with demographic collapse, i.e. aging population, urban sprawl and debt/bankruptcy starting to push people out of cities, they are going to face a structural change in the population density. People will move out of dense cities when there's no opportunity. They probably would already have done so, except this is likely being prevented as well. Residency is controlled heavily, to keep economic indicators. A city that has no jobs available... looks successful until you start seeing riots, high value crime/thefts, moving trucks and bodies in the streets. not in that order. People will push against restrictions when they can't leave or go elsewhere and they gain a purpose or message. And that's the next decade in big cities. Either the upper class and middle class unemployed leave, start something/somewhere else, or they pull apart the walls looking for options.
Eternal Growth isn't viable without steady expansion to support collapses and allow for a smoother path to failure/obsolesence. That's where China is now. They don't have that ramp or step to take to slow down the economy artificially. That stagnation can't be held forever across a wide range of industries and utilities. There's not enough 'escape valves' that can be pulled to start new growth, except perhaps war or debt consolidation/obscuring. Even then, War/Trade footings also require participants who need 'stuff'.
Which is probably the third world at this point, there's not a lot of places that have the kind of trade volume china needs to grow and allow the normal volume of trade they've been used to handling. A depressed economy that has Delusional indicators, can really only rely on debt or credit loans to prop up businesses that aren't allowed to collapse. The lack of circulating money, slowly and inevitably drops value, but it takes a lot of collapse and defaults to reduce the purchasing value. If the market is being 'buffered', prices can't drop, and growth/supply can't resume. The normal demand also reduces because people don't have the same available income and luxury goods, utilities, investment and loans are going to suffer.
When operating costs keep increasing due to debt/income loss, there is usually a need to move, contract or stop. When the market contracts, or there's a serious banking/government problem with spending, growth/planning is artificially stopped, hoping that the market will rebalance or prices will adjust to demand/supply levels.
i.e. Seniors aren't leaving/retiring due to economic depression, so they won't hire new staff or start new projects that need trainees or extra labor.
Execs stick around to gain more benefits, or simply to pay rising costs at home, or to pay off mortgage/loans/debts.
New staff won't get brought in when there's division losses, and because there's nobody leaving, and nobody is making enough to expand, the business has to slow and contract, or drop staff and contract. Usually both.
There are often 'base' industries that can survive a deflation/depression, but China isn't a normal economy, it has too much pride/face, and too much invested in government support, so it can't rely on protectionist or nationalist spending efforts to buffer the economy. Not unless it wants to bolster the youth market and focus on the middle class being moved into new areas.
Labor shortage? India, which actually having good economy growth also having same unemployment rate right now, why?
Because somehow, these media totally looked over the fact that both India and China is not what they were few years ago, both now have more educated young workforce, which means they wont apply for factory workers but office workers while their economy is mostly focused on manufacturing jobs, obviously it will be a problem, but in a short term
If this keep happening means worker cost in sectors that need educated workers like IT and finance gonna be plummet,this create growth for those sectors which cause transition from manufacturing economy to service economy
Exactely: it would be bad in poor African countries where there are too many teenagers competing for jobs, but it's extra worrisome in countries like china that don't have an oversupply of young laborers.

And isn’t there a large number of college students? That would mean that substantial number of 18-22 year olds also would not have jobs since they are in college. Can anyone explains to me the significance of this specific age range?
That 20.8% number didn't exist before; that's the point. They're looking at the trend

Cheap labour is the biggest issue which has been notorious for many years in this country whereas the living costs are going up so rapidly
ancient china got it right, when an emperor died his concubines went with him. Now there is a plague of old ladies. this plague takes the jobs, or the young people pay taxes to support them.
Why should CNBC be so concerned when the real social and economic problems are at home and the collapse of the economy is fast approaching.
There has been youth unemployment problems in China every year since I can remember. I think probably this year’s situation is not anything different from years past, but because of high visibility lay-offs from the tech sector, people paid more attention to it this year.
thats why there are so many international students from China
The issue has been getting so much attention that China decided to stop publishing the data altogether. Experts point to several reasons for the slow pace of hiring for recent graduates, including an imbalance in supply and demand for jobs that require a college degree and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the economy. Meanwhile, investment in real estate has plummeted, and policies from Beijing have forced property developers like Evergrande and Country Garden to default on their debts and eventually file for bankruptcy. Consumer confidence has been declining since the beginning of the year, and the service sector has been particularly weak. Imports and exports to and from the country are down in most sectors, and the Chinese government has cut interest rates in an effort to contain market volatility during the economic downturn.
Thank goodness.

3:46 Inaccurate map shows Taiwan as part of China. Not correct. Taiwan has its own employment issues, but it is different from China's. Please do not conflate the two countries. Do better, CNBC!
China is advancing economically. In an effort to fill out certain high-yield fields like tech, they pushed a generation towards these sectors. Now they have a misallocation of workers. A full economy takes a balance of workers in many sectors. Using other nations as an example, this usually means a growing need for physical labor jobs. The issue is the devaluation of these jobs by college educated people who make decisions on compensation. Most of them cannot work in a field for 8 hours a day or perform a myriad of skilled trades. In the US this compensation is being adjusted as trade jobs like Truck Driving, Construction, and Utilities pay higher than most low to mid level tech jobs.
The other issues China faces is its Communist system. For all the workers necessary for a healthy functioning economy, they are all secondary to the Communist Party. No matter how successful you are in China, you will never be able to have a higher quality of life than a member of the Communist Party.
Given China's belt and road initiative, there is opportunity for young people abroad.

Then it will not have money to buy cars, furniture, building materials etc from overseas to maintain high living quality.
You're right. As a Chinese person, I believe there are three main points:
There is an imbalance between the supply and demand of talent. China produces a large number of high-quality talents every year, but there are very few job opportunities available.
Too many people who shouldn't have received higher education are getting educated. While this helps stabilize society from the government's perspective, it wastes productivity for societal production.
China's position in international affairs is ambiguous, resulting in consecutive economic sanctions (although I personally feel that even if the position is right, there may not be many benefits).
The most significant issue is that for the government, stability is crucial even if it means sacrificing the happiness of the common people. Therefore, policies are designed to benefit national development, but they may not be favorable for individuals.

Youth Unemployment is not a problem. Their parents will look after their childrens even they are 40years old. It is Chinese culture!
I sometimes wonder if these unemployment figures are true. This is because, the population figures may have been inflated by local governments to get more funding from the central government. One study (don't have a link to it) found that these figures may be inflated as much as 10% which means there might be reported figures for 100 million people across China that don't exist. If this is true it will mean Chinas demographic issues with the 1 child policy will come a lot sooner.
Ryan, China’s youth unemployment figure at around 21% is not true. The true figure as I have read is around 46%. In the U.S.A. and E.U. the figure is 10%.

I know that not everyone dreams of going abroad. But if you are well educated and your country is unable to provide you with enough good jobs, consider emigrating. Western Europe is aging rapidly, we need well-educated people here. Plus, after a few years spent in Europe, paradoxically, there may be an option to return to China for a good position. The worst thing you can do is waste time on searches that produce no results. In some European countries we did this, until the economy improved, people were wasting the best years of their lives in low-paid jobs. Those who did not wait and left gained the most. Years later, they came back with savings and got a good job because the situation had improved.

The Hardest job of a Govt is *Not to act* . Democracies by their nature inhibit this tendency, meanwhile authoritarian regimes without an opposition, are free to act as they wish, thus perpetuating, their own self fulfilling prophecy.
I would say the ability to act is one area where authoritarian governments have an advantage over democratic governments. Rather, democracy's greatest strength is the ability to reverse course on a failed policy when an opposition party comes to power. Authoritarian governments are more likely to continue failed policies because it becomes linked to their authority and legitimacy.

Youth unemployment is common social phenomena in prosperous society. These Chinese kids grew up in times of economic prosperity, has not known or experience hardship, bitterness and what it's like to be poor. They become spoilt, choosy, complacent & has unrealistic expectations of job conditions & pay when they know they could live off their parents or the gov't handouts. In China's case it's mostly parents as they have put aside substantial savings and being the sole child in the family they have 2 parent & 4 grandparent (assuming all still alive) doting over them.
Send them to the rural area and work on the farms together with the peasants and let them have a taste of hardship. That'll wake them up, knock some senses into them and learn to appreciate any job thats offered later.
If those theories regarding A.I - which posit a lot of job losses, including among the middle classes - come true, are we perhaps likely to see qualified people from 'developed' countries moving to 'developing' countries instead of working in their home economy, because their labour is still valued there?
Or will A.I. innovations just be quickly shipped to those developing countries too?

Capitalism. This is a number of jobs vs population problem. Sure the world is not a zero sum game as many optimists would like to believe. But at the rate of population growth vs job creation which in turn uses resources on a currently finite earth be it physical space to establish work to actual material used in work. If there was infinite resource then physical space and value of resources wouldn't be a barrier, and everyone can get fed by automated bots, whilst they go off doing what they wish to be inventing or creating new stuff, or whatever it is they want.
And that's not even delving into the sheer impracticality of asteroid mining for resources as many optimists would also point out. This non zero sum world is what capitalists would want to believe, yet the current resources are only being extracted from this Earth. Not only that but the waste created in land, sea, and atmospheric pollution is also being done at an unsustainable rate. In this sense, the system is created to benefit those now by living on 'borrowed time' or borrowed resources. The wealth generated sure is great, but even then it isn't properly distributed.
The world population boom since the industrial revolution is at the cost of this borrowed resources and time that we have. Just like pumping out ground water to grow a field in a desert, when it runs out the fields will wither. To be sustainable, something has got to give. And this unemployment issue shines light on how it's becoming unsustainable for a new generation to thrive, much less survive, if it weren't for the previous generations borrowed wealth.
It's now a normal thing, if not considered a good thing for countries to run a deficit, and America's deficit is in the trillions. Sure it can pay it off, but it'll gut the country to do so. Was capitalism worth it? It gave us plenty of thrills and enjoyment beyond what most of humanity could conceive off. But now we pay the price. But yaay Fortnite!
