China's youth unemployment rate drops to 14.9% in June

China's youth unemployment rate, which measures joblessness among people aged 16 to 24, has decreased to 14.9% in June 2026.

This is the lowest rate in the past year.

The unemployment rates for other age groups also improved slightly.

The government has been working to create more jobs and keep the overall unemployment rate low.

However, despite these improvements, young people still face challenges in finding stable jobs.

The economy has been growing, but not as fast as expected, and there are concerns about consumer spending and the property market.

The government is focusing on supporting employment and consumption to help the economy grow in the second half of the year.
