Youth Unemployment
About Youth Unemployment theme - Create Change Through Design Exhibition
The theme of youth unemployment in the exhibition showcases interdisciplinary designs from social sciences and other fields that are inspired by the idea of creating change. The challenges faced by China in addressing unemployment are influenced by insufficient job creation in the private sector and skills mismatches. In December 2023, China's National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) reported an official youth unemployment rate of 14.9%, with nearly 12 million graduates entering the job market in 2024. China faces unique cultural and work-related challenges, such as the "9-9-6" model, which expects employees to work from 9 am to 9 pm, six days a week. These obstacles hinder China's development (Goldin, 2024). This theme is part of the Create Change Through Design exhibition.
