#ChinaEconomy #YouthUnemployment
China’s youth unemployment crisis is raising alarms. After the disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, China’s economy has struggled to regain its momentum. While low domestic demand has negatively impacted multiple industries, high youth unemployment is fueling concern among local communities. The Chinese government has implemented multiple policies bolstering vocational education, hoping to steer young people towards practical skills for a growing tech sector.
In this July 17 conversation, Eli Friedman and Yun Zhou—moderated by Andrew Liu—explore the roots of China’s youth job crisis, changing workplace dynamics, and what the future might hold for a generation in limbo.
