China's Xi Calls for More Jobs for Young People, Migrant Workers

China’s president is urging officials to create more jobs for young people and migrant workers, in what could be a signal that employment policy may be in the pipeline ahead of a key political meeting in July.

Employment for young people and efforts to help migrant workers get jobs have been identified as key priorities by President Xi Jinping during discussions with members of China’s top decision-making body. Measures are being considered to address these issues and boost employment opportunities. The focus on job creation is seen as a significant move ahead of the upcoming political meeting.
