Chinese Premier Li Keqiang said in a question-and-answer session today (March 11) that a record high of 14 million people will be added to the urban labor force this year, including 9.09 million college graduates. In addition, the authorities are also facing the employment of retired military personnel and the problem of 270-80 million migrant workers needing to work, so the pressure on employment is still very high.
Li Keqiang again stressed the need to promote the “six stability” and achieve the “six protection”, and put employment in the first place.
After that, the topic “9.09 million college graduates this year hit a record high” rushed to the Weibo hot search list. Many netizens sighed that “it’s too difficult!” “Every year, the number of graduates is at a record high.”
According to statistics, in the past decade, the number of college graduates in mainland China has been at a record high every year. 6.6 million in 2011, 7.49 million in 2015, and 8.74 million in 2020.
The recruitment platform “Hire” released the “2020 Fresh Graduates Spring Job Search Report” in April last year, which showed that over 90% of fresh graduates were anxious about the employment situation; 74.54% of fresh graduates believed that the Epidemic had a negative impact on the employment of their majors.
At that Time, 2020 was considered the “most difficult employment season in history”. Some Taiwanese media reported that data from some university employment service centers on the mainland showed that only 25% of fresh graduates had found jobs.
However, previous graduates have not yet secured a job, and more fresh graduates will flood the job market this year. Some netizens left messages saying, “We have not yet implemented jobs for previous graduates,” and “I’m still squatting at Home from last year.
At the end of last month, the Chinese Communist Party‘s Minister of Human Resources and Social Security Zhang Ji-nan said that the employment situation this year is complicated, and there are still more uncertain and unstable factors.
He pointed out that the structural contradictions are still prominent, and the difficulties in employment and recruitment coexist. Like manufacturing and service industry, it is difficult to recruit general workers, shortage of skilled workers, and the seeking ratio of technical skilled personnel is more than 2, that is to say, a technical skilled personnel has at least 2 positions waiting for him.
Then again, the complex and volatile impact of the epidemic has added uncertainty and risk challenges to employment this year.
Meanwhile, the Chinese Communist Party’s Ministry of Education predicts that there will be more than 10 million college graduates in 2022.
