Ha Zengyou, Director of the Employment Department of the National Development and Reform Commission, said at a press conference on October 20 that the total number of youth employment is under greater pressure. Taking this year as an example, the number of college graduates reached 9.09 million.
At the same time, affected by the epidemic, floods, etc., some small and medium-sized enterprises have reduced their recruitment with caution, and the recruitment situation is relatively tight.
On the other hand, the structural employment contradictions among youth groups have become increasingly prominent, with the disconnection of supply and demand, discomfort in job positions, and "slow employment" phenomena occur from time to time.
As the economy continues to recover, especially the effects of various policies, the pressure on youth employment has decreased, and the employment progress of college graduates has been better than in the same period of previous years.
The unemployment rate among urban youth aged 16-24 has dropped significantly for two consecutive months since August.
