China’s Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security has announced a comprehensive month-long employment promotion program commencing in mid-December 2025, specifically designed to address youth employment challenges. The initiative strategically targets three key demographic groups: impending 2026 university graduates, recent graduates still seeking employment opportunities, and participants in the national ‘Sanzhi Yifu’ program involving grassroots service commitments.
The program will deliver enhanced employment services through coordinated efforts between local human resources bureaus, employment service agencies, and talent markets. These entities will develop tailored employment opportunities while organizing both digital and physical job fairs to maximize accessibility. Special emphasis will be placed on providing structured campus recruitment services throughout the implementation period.
A distinctive feature of the initiative involves comprehensive educational components focused on identifying employment scams and fraudulent recruitment practices. The ministry aims to strengthen risk prevention awareness among young job seekers while ensuring orderly conduct throughout the recruitment process. This multidimensional approach represents China’s latest effort to stabilize youth employment markets amid evolving economic conditions.
