However, statistics show that in May, the population survey rate of population aged 16 to 24 was 18.4%, an increase of 0.2 percentage points from the previous month.

Fu Linghui said that the main reason for the high unemployment rate of young people is that under the impact of the epidemic situation, it is difficult to produce and operate in enterprises, and the employment ability has declined. At the same time, young people are more inclined to jobs with strong stability and exacerbate the contradiction between supply and demand. With the arrival of the graduation season, college graduates enter the labor market, which may further increase employment pressure.

"The impact of the impact on the epidemic has no effect on employment, and the total unemployment rate is still at a high level." Fu Linghui said that the next step should be implemented to stabilize the economic broader market, strengthen the aid and stabilize the job, and do a good job in occupation. Skills training, at the same time, actively promote industrial upgrading and development, create high -quality employment positions, and create more favorable conditions for college students' employment.
