China shuts down youth employment data amidst record joblessness I DW News

How many people are lying flat and letting it rot? Do they count in unemployment statistics?

After careful review the CCP has now categorized youth as between the age 25-59 years old, and the age 16-24 range never should've existed in the first place.

One of China biggest problems like the Soviets had is them trying to cover up negative news.. Sure it works in short term but in the long term it's actually worse because they don't address the issue or acknowledge the issue til at crisis levels by then it's really too late to do anything...

They are a laughingstock

For salary earners having a passive source of income is the best thing you could have, because aside the fact that it isn't always enough you could lose your job any day at any time, having something to fall back to is crucial, for me it is trading the crypto and stock market and yes I didn't have that much knowledge to begin to earn that's why I said passive income, I leave the profit making to the pro like my Advisor 'Margaret Johnson Arndt' , who has been doing a wonderful job.

So that would be a percentage of youth unemployment in between Italy and Slovakia according to the OECD, just for reference.

🤡 high cost of living 🤡 deliberately making normal citizens life hard 🤡 what could possibly go wrong?🤡 You want to be immortal and rich 🤡 what about us? 🤡

as the history shows usually when this condition happens there will be a war launched 😢

Maybe it’s not true china is fine according to filipinos in China

So what? Chinese has savings and rich. who cares kids don't have job? Besides, none of my relatives is unemployed.

Young people are supposed to be the backbone of an economy. This is very troubling for Chinas future especially in light of there demographic problems.

1 in 5? Every report I have seen has said 50% aside from DW.
I was hopeful the press outside the US would be more honest. What a shame.

western media equals idiocracy

Let it rot there no point anymore. Wasted thousands on a college degree I can’t even find a job years later.

So many 2 cent CCP bot using western names are on this page. I wonder how many youth are employed in their bot farms ???

Cowards are hiding the facts.

China is in a great depression

What is wrong that the whole world is suffering from the same problem? Where are the jobs? Where is the money? Instead of having economic conversations everyone wants to be talking about social and political issues. We dont care if we dont have any moneyyyy

This is indicative of chinas overall problem with thier economy, they may struggle alot in the 21st century.

Its nothing because chine's population is sooooooooooo huge.🤣🤣🤣

Indian Reporter and German news outlet is best combination for China bashing…..😅😅 why never cover the problem in germany…😅😅

There's No infinite job creation. And the good jobs are already taken by others that will live to their 80s. You get it now. You are late to the opportunity you are late to party 🥳.

Old rich politicians can only have a limited grip on its people before the people come into control of the super elite. Time will tell but i see great nations collapsing and the meek shall rise

German?😂

This is the failure of communism. CCP, step down! You have FAILED your people.

china supports russian war crimes in Ukraine, so i'm happy hey have problems

The lottery is so dystopian.

Sad to see the youth suffer they didn't make China what it is they were born into it

at this point Asian people are a joke.. d

The only problem here is the 'economy of growth'. Somehow, we're expecting our economies to grow every year. Why should they? Are there more trees each year? More natural resources? No. Let's all just take a breath, relax and admit that we have a pretty good life. Nothing needs to be improved. How about we stay at the same level of prosperity for the next 50 years? With the advancements of technology each year we'll need to work less and less to maintain the same level.

Zero sympathy since Kung-fu master Xi JinPing Pong is trynah de-dollarize, thinking China owns a whole damn sea, bullying it's neighbors, n threatening Taiwan. So yeah, ZERO SYMPATHY n wish that China continues it's downfall n never recover. Zero trust on China also.

CHINA IS DONE 😂😂😂😂

Being a chinese national i am jealoused of young americans promising future in military, we dont get go around and shoot people. The Third Reich's true legacy is its employment strategy.❤😊

There's a trend going on in China right now called "let it rot" because of the extreme low employment amongst the young adults. But what do you expect from the CCP?

almost half youth jobless in fact

what the, china keep talking about increasing population but cannot give them job? what the heck?

That's what you get for stealing our IP for so many years then flaunt it in our faces. Dictator Xi is the worst dictator in Chinese history and you all deserve it. It's called karma.

Logistics! Pandemic shut down was extremely stubborn. Companies realized they were not in control. They decided to leave. That’s not just one reason. There are others reason.
Wake up and don’t let Chinese communist dominate the world economy. Leave before it’s too late! Don’t let Chinese communist rule the world. Leave! Leave! Let’s move manufacturing to others countries!

Of course this raises the not "age old" so much as ww2 mentality old. The prerogative of the baby boomers insistence on the ponzi/pyramid scheme ideology of creating this need of old people needing ever more young people to live. It affects Chinese pple too.

We're not the baby boom generation and we cannot thrive, retire, or be cared for under the same rules. Social Security is a right in the US today. If we pay into it we're supposed to get it back. Unfortunately the generations 55 and younger are just getting shafted by this system. The benefits of social security are supposed to protect us from poverty of we get disabled or sick or simply age out of our industries.

It's a shxtty time when we overpopulate and have no plan for when the vastness of an older generation, the weight of their retirement is being laid to rest on our young people. I do hope we figure this out without causing more overpopulation or horrible living conditions for young people. Americans that paid into SSA and are getting nothing for it. It's unjustifiable.

India number. is 50%. Why on one talks about it !

Why does the correspondent have a background of Taipei, Taiwan? Is DW pro unification? From what I've heard when talking with people in China, there are too many economics majors and not enough electricians and programmers. It's a common problem. Young people will have to retrain towards more technical jobs or contend with menial jobs like delivery or manufacturing.

Because the data is misleading. Most of them are students, they don't even try to get a job.

It's not a smart move entering into this BRICS. Not when you have a bunch of grifting dictators hiding their economic numbers when things are bad. How is any business going to plan in that corrupt environment? Ridiculous.

Find a job in china is not a difficulty thing. Fina a good job is.

❤

Plenty job opportunities will show up soon ... in the PLA.

High time to redefine the term "youth", that

Dictatorships historically turn to war to avert economic disaster and mass unemployment. We need to watch this development carefully.

err...correction

it’s not 1 in 5 are unemployed
it’s one out of five are employed

i speak Chinese and i know all of Xi’s BS
