Over one in 5 Chinese young adults looking for work can't find it, according to China's National Bureau of Statistics. According to UNICEF, youth unemployment can lead to social and economic unrest. For their July data released last week, Chinese government officials entirely omitted the data on youth unemployment. According to research from United Nations Children's Fund, youth unemployment impacts present and future economic growth and stability. The report also warns that youth unemployment can have "significant and serious social repercussions" and social unrest.
