Women who hold humanities degrees from lesser-known universities are among three groups of jobseekers having the hardest time finding work in China amid record-high youth unemployment, according to Guo Sheng, CEO of Zhaopin, one of the country’s largest online recruiting platforms.
While the Beijing-based internet recruiter has been designing new algorithms to help desperate jobseekers find suitable opportunities, the situation is the most “painful” for female jobseekers who graduated with non-STEM degrees from schools outside the government’s “985” and “211” projects – a list that includes prestigious names such as Tsinghua and Peking, Guo said.
“Science majors are OK. Men are OK. And [those from] well known universities are OK,” Guo said at a panel discussion during the annual digital economy conference hosted this week by Alibaba Group Holding’s open think tank Luohan Academy in Hangzhou, capital of eastern Zhejiang province.

Growing number of young people in China flock to religious temples to escape life’s pressures​

China is seeing its highest youth unemployment rates in decades, posing a challenge to Beijing’s post-pandemic recovery efforts.


The jobless rate for people aged between 16 to 24 has gradually climbed since 2020 and hit new highs over the past two months, reaching 20.8 per cent in May, up from 20.4 per cent in April. Economists also warned that the worst is yet to come, as the rate is expected to rise further in July and August, with a record 11.58 million university graduates set to leave campus.
Young people from impoverished households and workers aged above 35 – especially sole bread winners with mortgages and children who attend expensive schools – are two other groups having the toughest time in the current job market, according to Guo.

Despite Zhaopin’s efforts to match these workers with the right openings, even going as far as urging them to switch industries, the task has proved challenging, partly because employers are “picky”, Guo said.
“We spent a lot of money doing this, but it doesn’t seem to be helpful,” he said. “Employers are not paying.”

An increasing number of people in China’s youngest generation are taking to online platforms operated by tech giants including WeChat operator Tencent Holdings and TikTok owner ByteDance in search of job opportunities, according to a report last month by the state-backed China Academy of Labour and Social Security (CALSS).

These include working as part-time vloggers, content writers and online shop owners, the CALSS said. WeChat, for instance, helped create more than 50 million employment opportunities last year, according to the report, which also said that more than 60 per cent of the surveyed part-time workers on digital platforms expressed interest in switching to full-time roles in their chosen professions.

Chinese citizen's greatest enemy is actually the supreme leader Xi Jin Ping.

If china has followed suit, just doing their business instead of trying to be No. 1 and trying to replace US dollar with their RMB . All of them will not happen.

he singlehandedly cracks down on all tech billionaire cult leaders like pony ma, jack ma, richard liu, robin li, colin huang, william ding, zhang yiming, forces them and their enterprises to donate billions in his “common prosperity” mantra, and now asks compliant “entrepreneurs” (with the total absence of these tech billionaires) to help the regime to rekindle the economy. no wonder no true successful entrepreneur in prc wishes to cum forward as they know it’s a trap to set them up for days-long “interview” with the ccp. best is to step down from their businesses, keep a low profile, transfer wealth and family out of prc, buy sanctuaries and residency overseas, and most important of all stay alive and free to spend money away from the cult-like obsession of xia xuay xi. in the xi regime there can only be 1 iconic cult leader vying for the worship of the masses.

A communist leopard never changes its spots.

China (PRC) is nothing more than a communist wolf in a capitalist sheep's clothing.

Daft ones believe everything becomes hunky-dory once China joined the WTO. :rolleyes:

The CCP regime was just buying time and siphoning wealth from western countries. Its original goal to knock the USA off its perch and 'liberate' people around the world has never changed. :cool:

Recently, I came two several China job seekers on tourist or social-visit visas in my workplace area. More coming over to singapore for job-hunting with visa-restrictions removed.

Tuition teachers, masseurs, hawkers, hairstylists, mala hotpot waitresses, Scarlett cashiers, TCM doctors.

Some of them should be allowed to work here as maids.

ATBs will wreck many families, cleaning the master’s lampa in addition to house chores.

Hence MIW refused to import them.

Why Singapore no fish tank like Bangkok and Pattaya ?

Geylang sounds very sleazy. We should house these ATB talents in high class set up like Huay Kwang.
