Youth in China increasingly unwilling to do manual labour and take on blue-collar jobs, despite high unemployment: Report Read more at straitstimes.com.
BEIJING - When Ma Jiu, 17, graduates from vocational school in July 2023, he hopes to land a job at Beijing Railway Administration as a traffic controller - a career choice not favoured by many in the country.
China has been trying to nudge more of its youth to take the path that Ma is currently on to fill a growing demand for blue-collar workers - a move that students and parents told ST will be difficult, given society’s discrimination against vocational schools. Currently, more than 30 million students are enrolled in vocational schools, local media reported. But the figure may not be sufficient to make up for the shortfall, particularly in the manufacturing and service sectors, according to a Dec 28 report by Capital University of Economics and Business in Beijing.
The report also pointed out that the country’s blue-collar workers are getting older, with nearly half of the country’s 400 million blue-collar workers aged over 40 higher than the average age of 38.8 for the entire workforce.
