  • The youth unemployment rate in China remains high, made worse by a projected increase in university graduates this year to 11.8 million, which is 210,000 more than last year. Oddly, in an effort to boost employment rates, many mainland universities are urging graduates not to solely focus on civil service exams and postgraduate studies but to consider "assisting poverty alleviation" in rural areas.

      These are State and government jobs being paid for. Same with Military Ranks and Civil Service positions.
      It’s an Empty Chair position that usually exists as a political /strategic position, as a gang or other political power grab would take an income and position as “security“. These used to be for relatives and the equivalent is a Board Seat in an executive board, someone paid to invest in a corporation who contributes.
      This would be impossible in a Merit Based business that has to operate with profit and income… but these jobs don’t have a profit motive. They exist to provide security from further/ other manipulation.
      They exist to keep the bureaucracy intact. If something actually goes wrong, the entire economy basically implodes because they don’t hire workers, they install placeholders for political and nepotistic advantage.
      State run companies, are often filled with permanent workers, ie they don’t get promotions or excel, the position is usually in a military supply or protected industry where they don’t expand or have a profit incentive. Merit doesn’t matter.

      Not just a scam, but a political system.
      These jobs are in the equivalent of a civil service position. They don’t have strict requirements for employment, but they are “connected” jobs.
      Nobody is hired from a recruitment agency, the government civil service selects people to work there, usually Party members or their family. To get a promotion, you have to follow the Rules of the Party. Unwritten and written.
      The video probably should explain it better, but some jobs in China are basically military/party affiliated. They hire people to fill the positions available in small batches, and this leads to politically nepotistic jobs being created and filled to hire friends and allies in state government jobs and departments.

    • @Toliman.
      @Toliman. Před 4 měsíci +3

      It’s probably a residual value from the pre-capitalist system, you had fixed employment for government factories and civil service work.
      2 years salary for a fixed job seems insane, but, there would be intangible benefits and access to government benefits. State corp jobs have a lot of access to government subsidies. Now, that could be forfeit or lost when your local bureaucrat is embezzling those funds , but that doesn’t change the intangible benefits of having a guaranteed income. Especially if you have a cousin or a relative who is Average. Ie nothing Special and cannot be hired for anything due to laziness or incompetence. Tons of these jobs exist to basically house useless / inconvenient people. But who are lucky enough to have a politically connected family member.
      A lot of quirks in the Chinese system are based on these pre-capitalist systems still affecting modern governance and modern rationing. Especially the nepotism and corruption.
      Prior to the free market trade, CCP would arrest people for trading goods for money, “grey” market goods trading would operate in villages and towns, as produce was still being exported for military consumption, as part of the tax and farmland occupation. Jobs would pay coupons for allocated rations.
      Most of the food, military equipment and procurement of military surplus production was organised by state factories, up until the 1970s I think.
      So, people would negotiate to sell their job when they had to move or marry, finding a family member to work in their position. The money would go to the manager to change the paperwork to reflect the salary changes. Sic. But, this way the coupons and other benefits for being a Town/City resident would still belong to the family, your houko/house book would still allow you to have food or other services that could be traded to other people. Because, you could not buy “reserved” things from most vendors ie clothing, fabric, fuel, transport, etc without a coupon.
      You would pay for these jobs because they would keep paying salary during all weather or famine, it was a lifetime commitment type job.
      Because the hiring process would be managed by the local civil service/bureaucrats, you’d end up with the government filling the position with their own family / friends as temporary workers, or worse.

    On this topic I see a lot of college grads with degrees in "soft" fields in the reporting from China. This surprises me. I was taking some graduate classes in statistics a few years back and there were lots of Chinese students. Some would admit they would prefer to be studying something else, like marketing, but their parents insisted that they go into a STEM field. Sound advice, actually.
    The issues these Chinese grads are facing are the same as in the US, but the job market here is in much better shape than in China. So, while they may not get a job in their major, they can get a job. Frankly, there are too many people with these non-core majors that, as the second girl in the video found out, just about anyone can do without the degree. Many of these fields have no place in a university curriculum. Copywriting, entrepreneurship and similar are really only valid in a vocational business school. What the universities, in China and the US, have done is to offer these inappropriate subjects to expand their market. That is all. They dupe people like the woman in the video.

      I graduated HS in 06 and college in 2012. During that time I tried to get jobs and only got barely above minimum wage jobs after college I could only get jobs that paid $8-$20/hr meanwhile I could’ve just worked and not had debt and worked up to management or got the job to pay for my college. From 2008-2015 it was economic downturn in America, many college graduates were stuck with low paying jobs and not used their degree. College is mainly benefiting the people that work there and the politicians that line their pockets endorsing the school or giving them tax breaks. College is too expensive and people don’t get their return in investments for at least 5-10 years post college if they get one at all. Pushing young adults to trades is the best bet for financial security

I don't blame them because they were enthusiastic 18 yos who want to take on the world and become a successful park designer. There was NEVER any such demand for 1.8 million park designers in China and every experienced adult planner knew that. Ok, so I don't blame these people who didn't work on farms and orientated every bit of their best years into a vision of an office and suit an a 'career'. Something many outside of this culture may not understand but it's much worse for them than you'd think:
    - in 2024, we've already seen massive number of the factory workers sent back to their villages.
    - villagers are HORRIFIC in terms of social shaming, jealousy, taunting over the petty of petty little social faces and it's really a lot of toxic shame culture. 'xiao ren' [little man] which has the english idiom like "small minded man'. they will simply torment, shame and dump toxic humiliations on all these students who return to the farms.
    They will not know how to farm. They will be antagonized, humiliated, disrespected.

    Take this advice from someone who has had to do the initial processing of 100+ resumes for a single job opening. In a depressed job market, potential employees will be looking for reasons set aside resumes. Someone with a college degree but little job experience has little chance of getting an interview much less a job.
    These people need to look for ways to bypass the job posting, send-in resume, get interviewed process. They need a friend or relative who'll vouch for them _before_ a job gets publicized. Convince a potential employer they can do the job without the hassle of posting, reading resumes, and interviewing. That is where their best chance lies.

      If it’s in ccp unit. It’s possible. They don’t care about human values or moral values. Buying won’t do anything since CCP controls everything. Even money.

    I would resist govt. trying to take over my future, my life. That's not so much better than outright slavery. And like slaveowners, this govt has absolute power over the life and death of every Chinese, even across the world. I can talk easy because through no effort on my part, it was my dumb luck to be born here.

      So much of success in life is due to just plain luck. Being born in the right country, having the right parents (rich), or the right economy just as you get out of school.

      @@YourHineyness This is a loser mentality. A poor person can achieve the same things, they just have to endure a much harder life. In the end, they end up being much wiser and resilient then a person that was given everything on a silver platter and will likely blow through all of the family's fortune.

    If everyone has a degree, you are not special anymore. Your work for a company has to be worth more to them, than the salary they pay you or else the company will go bust sooner or later. Basic economics Never forget that. If you are fed up with the companies, be a freelancer or start your own business!

      Last thing CCP wants to for their citizens to experience better life outside the country and seeing them make a run for it. The only ones that get sent out of the country are hardcore loyalists and agents that have too much to lose if they act out of line.

    I am shocked with how hard the Chinese people work for their educations, but their country fails them at every turn. Even if that sort of remains true in the west as well, it's not even close to the blatant intensity at it is in China. If you study in the West, you will have work. So long as it's a lucrative field.
