China intensifies efforts to bolster youth employment

BEIJING — China has pledged to stabilize and expand employment and improve people's livelihoods as a priority for its overall socioeconomic development efforts.

How to promote employment, particularly for young job seekers, was a hot topic widely discussed by national lawmakers and political advisors during this year's two sessions.

The current employment situation has generally improved with the stabilization and improvement of the economy, said Mo Rong, a member of the 14th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, China's top political advisory body.
