Why China's Youth Are Leaving the Workforce

In episode 155 of China Economy with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna dig into a surprising trend: China's labor force participation rate among young people is dropping, even as youth unemployment grabs headlines. With the trade deficit widening and domestic consumption now the growth engine, the hosts ask what happens when the next generation opts out of the job hunt entirely. They look at the numbers behind the youth jobless rate, the rise of the 'lying flat' movement, and how a shrinking pool of young workers could reshape everything from factory wages to the property market. Using fresh data on the yuan, the trade balance, and market moves in Chinese tech stocks, they connect the dots between policy choices in Beijing and the decisions of millions of young people.
