Why Youth Unemployment Is Surging In China
China is facing a growing list of problems — real estate, semiconductor bans and labor market gyrations. The world's second-most populous country also has a major youth unemployment problem. China's urban youth unemployment rate has risen to 21% as of May 2023, up from 15.4% two years earlier. "Let's not forget about the draconian lockdown measures," says Fang Xu, urban sociologist at the University of California, Berkeley. "The young people are still recovering." This comes as the world's second-largest economy faces a tougher time getting out of the Covid pandemic than many experts estimated, which has broader impacts on the ability of investors to put money to work in the country, and the struggling property sector.

Meet China’s ‘Full Time Children’: Why Unemployed Youths Are Working For Their Parents
Amid China’s record youth unemployment levels, some young people are moving back home to work as paid ‘full-time children’. As their parents’ live-in personal assistants, they do simple chores and spend time with them in exchange for free rent or even a salary. Some document their daily routine as part of a viral online trend on Chinese social media.
But, not every family is fully onboard with this alternative ‘career’ decision. Some ‘full-time children’ report tensions at home and anxieties about their formal jobless status.

CNA Explains: What is behind China’s high youth unemployment rate?
China’s unemployment rate for 16- to 24-year-olds hit an all-time high of 21.3 per cent in June this year. Among the reasons for the situation is a faltering economy that has seen firms impose hiring freezes and a skills mismatch that has left few jobs for more educated applicants to pick from. CNA’s Henry Yin gives an insight into the situation.

For more about the movement: https://sc.mp/4t0b
A new generation of Chinese are challenging the values and traditions that have been the foundation of the nation’s modern successes. Hard work, whether to build your future, beat your competitor or just get rich before you are too old, have long been core values in China. But what happens when a new generation of workers starts to question such ideas? Terms like “lying flat” and more recently “let it rot” have been used to describe a movement brewing among young Chinese who seem ready to give up when faced with challenges such as widespread unemployment and a high cost of living.
