The biggest economic problem China is facing now - youth unemployment

China is currently in a major economic fix, and the biggest problem in their kitbag is youth unemployment, which needs to be addresses at the earliest in order to combat any other related pressing issue around the Chinese economy. New unproductive forces play a major role in the unemployment rise of the country, that has the potential to push the country on the brink of recession, feel experts.

Can China face recession soon?

China can easily be a prey to recession as youth unemployment would clearly mean that there is a decrease in workforce demand in industries, something that China is always known to have in surplus at all times. If this issue persists, alarm bells will begin ringing in the Chinese financial markets, and there would be an undue pressure on emerging industries to meet the rising employment demand.

Can AI come to the rescue?

Artificial intelligence and other emerging technologies in the country is very important for meeting with the rising youth employment demand in China and other Asian countries, as it is one branch where there is a major need for a younger workforce. However, it may still not be enough to meet this inflated rate of job demand and therefore there need to be some more approaches for combating the white-collar job demand.
