Record number of Chinese youths opt for civil service amid economic slowdown and high unemployment

Credited from: REUTERS

  • Over 3.4 million young Chinese applied for the civil service exam in 2023, a record high driven by a desire for job security.
  • Applications increased by 400,000 from the previous year, reflecting a lack of appealing options in the private sector as youth unemployment remains elevated.
  • Despite economic challenges leading to salary cuts and unpaid wages for some civil servants, many young applicants still view these roles as prestigious and stable.
  • The government has not shown intent to reduce the size of public sector workers, essential for regime stability, even amidst local fiscal crises.
  • Calls for reform in China's bloated state sector continue as wage arrears become widespread, raising concerns about social stability and potential corruption.
