However, experts have pointed out that the employment pressure on young people is still huge.The Education Ministry had said that although the employment environment is still complicated and arduous, all departments will work together to ensure stable employment.Experts in the field believe that although China's working-age population continues to decline, there will be no labour crisis in the short term, and the employment pressure on young people will remain huge.According to Global Times, since September last year, the Chinese government has been working to secure employment for the graduates-to-be.The report also said state-owned enterprises are also easing the pressure, adding that major colleges and universities are working in the direction to absorb more graduates who wish to study further, in a bid to ease the employment pressure.( With inputs from ANI )Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
