Key Quotes
“While there are only limited details as to the scope of this survey, the results may finally shed some light on one of the most opaque elements of China’s economy – its unemployment rate.”
“The stability of China’s official unemployment rate over the past fifteen years has been a source of scepticism, with most observers considering the measure as an unreliable indicator of underlying labour market conditions.”
“From our perspective, we hope the greater benefit that policy makers will derive from timely labour market data will be sufficient to limit the potential distortions. That said, this will only become clear with time.”
