Social organizations to pitch in to provide employment prospects

Chinese social organizations have been encouraged to create more suitable job openings for young people, especially college graduates, and to provide them with detailed services related to job seeking and entrepreneurship to help stabilize the domestic job market.

The Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Ministry of Education jointly published a notice in late June encouraging social organizations to continue in their efforts to assist college graduates in finding jobs.

Social organizations in China refer to social groups, foundations and private entities registered at the civil affairs ministry and operating nonprofit social services, such as the China Hospitality Association and the China Environmental Protection Foundation. China has around 880,000 social organizations.
