- Macroeconomic policies need to shift from focusing on increasing total employment to looking ahead and pre-empting structural employment
- If not, unemployment may be unmanageable in the future
- A slight economic downturn may cause long-term unemployment
- Taking not of key population group can help to solve the problem of structural unemployment
- Taking note of the problems different age groups face can help better arrange programs to suit their needs

- China's labour force participation rate is decreasing
- Due to the decreasing labour force in China, the labour force size is also shrinking, making unemployment rate higher
- The excess jobs at provincial areas are also moving at a slower rate 

- China is planing to achieve fuller employment by introducing 2 new government policies
1. Setting up Large Training Events (such as professional skills and preparatory programs) - to decrease the amount of structural unemployment and better quality jobs
2. Job Creation - with the government's pushing for more and new business startups, China's new economy may create millions of jobs for tens of millions]]> 2018-05-13 07:11:07 UTC https://padlet.com/s10184913/5yq7uolbzygi/wish/260195767 nickiyong https://padlet.com/s10184913/5yq7uolbzygi/wish/260845368 -china has been hitting its target set by the economists and analysts for their economy and even topping expectations. it was estimated to have tapped at 6.7% however it hit 6.8%.
-china also expecting some downfall as it aims to control the excessive usage in the sector which lowers the productivity capacity as a result industrial growing slows down by 1.2% based on the latest data ,it was 7.2% from january through february a year ago.
-surprisingly, the retail industry has been progressing well from their expectation of 9.9% to 10.1% last year due to china's rich resources and how well the people utilize them.
- Oxford Economic's full-year GDP forecast for china was 6.4% and it managed to overturn the result and reach 6.9% in 2017
there are also factors that affect such as the bad loans write-off. According to reliable resources, bad loans write off has increased tremendously in february 2018 and has become the highest level since the 2008 financial crisis.
Its a worrying situation as this explains that the chinese banks have difficulties controlling the loans and when there is government intervention, it would means that borrowers would be having a more difficult time repaying their debts. However, if china can write off its bad loans and accept the losses, its GDP will decline. But in turn, less debt will have to be serviced, and China will be headed towards a much healthier economy.
