Full-time children in China


Listen Later

Hey you 👋, ever felt life's too much? In China, grads are lying flat on the ground in their caps and gowns. Yep, it's called "lying flat" 🎓.


A record 11.6 million Chinese graduated this year but guess what? Most can't find jobs! Unemployment? A shocking 21.3% 😲.


So what's their solution? Becoming "full-time children" 👨‍👩‍👧. They're staying home, living off their parents while helping around the house.


But wait, there's more 🤔. The government stopped sharing youth unemployment data. Suspicious much?


So if life gets tough, remember, lying flat is more than a mood, it's a movement 🌏. Until next time, stay curious 👀.
