Full-time children in China

from State of Nations · host Davide Evangelisti

Hey you 👋, ever felt life's too much? In China, grads are lying flat on the ground in their caps and gowns. Yep, it's called "lying flat" 🎓. A record 11.6 million Chinese graduated this year but guess what? Most can't find jobs! Unemployment? A shocking 21.3% 😲. So what's their solution? Becoming "full-time children" 👨‍👩‍👧. They're staying home, living off their parents while helping around the house. But wait, there's more 🤔. The government stopped sharing youth unemployment data. Suspicious much? So if life gets tough, remember, lying flat is more than a mood, it's a movement 🌏. Until next time, stay curious 👀. #LyingFlat, #ChineseYouth, #UnemploymentCrisis, #FullTimeChildren, #SilentProtest, #LifePressure, #RatRace, #SocialMovement, #StayCurious, #JobHunt, #CollegeGrads, #FamilyDynamic, #ChineseEconomy, #LifeChoices, #YouthUnrest
