The unemployment rate among 16-to-24-year-olds hit 21.3 per cent earlier this summer, but the government has stopped publishing data since August
On a recent afternoon, 24-year-old Sharon Guan joined a sea of people queuing outside Yonghe Temple, a Tibetan Buddhist monastery in central Beijing, just north of the Forbidden City.
Ms. Guan, who graduated from a master’s program this year, is not alone in struggling to find work. In July, the government revealed the unemployment rate among 16-to-24-year-olds had hit a record 21.3 per cent the previous month; in August,Even if the figures were released, it would not encapsulate the true size of the problem: Government data only covers those actively seeking work and does not take into account young people in rural areas.
What jobs are available are often in the manufacturing sector – monotonous, physically demanding work that helped drive China’s economic rise, but which many parents thought they were striving to help their children avoid. Zhang Wenwen, a 23-year-old recent graduate from Xuzhou, in Jiangsu province, moved to Beijing at the start of August to look for work. Most jobs offered salaries of about 3,000 yuan per month, she said, “which is not enough to make ends meet.” The average salary in Beijing is about 16,000 yuan, according to state media.
