Event Details
Last summer policymakers in China were so dismayed by chatter of young people escaping intense work pressure (996 or otherwise) and opting to "lie flat" that the term was banned on social media. This summer, even as China's broader urban unemployment rate has eased slightly, youth unemployment has soared to record levels. Young Chinese jobseekers are faring worse than their peers in other major economies. And with 10.8m college graduates looking for work this year – about 18% more than in 2021 – this challenge will not be abating anytime soon. Meanwhile, companies feel as though the race for talent – both finding and retaining qualified employees – has never been tighter in China.
Join us for a multifaceted analysis of talent management in China, looking at the data but also going beyond it to consider how companies can best succeed in this critical area.
