Young People Fearing Their Future

China's college enrollment has increased considerably over the past 10 years. Each year millions of young Chinese graduates flock to major cities in the hope of finding their dream white-collar job. But with vastly more people looking for jobs than there are vacancies, some end up either unemployed or underemployed. It's an issue that has got many young people fearing their future. As far as I know, quite a few Chinese students are worried that "graduation means unemployment," no matter how long they have studied or which qualifications they possess. Today's students want companies and organizations to offer more internships. This is an effective way to help young people to gain valuable work experience. At the same time, employers who offer internships are able to find more suitable candidates for future positions through greater face-to-face interaction.
