What is a Chinese “Rotten Tail Kid”? By James Reed
Communist China has its problems too, on the way to world conquest. There is the major issue of the birth crash, which the CCP has tried to solve, but Chinese women are following Western women and preferring work to babies. Then for the youth who remain, there is increasing unemployment, with university educated youth often having to take low paying jobs which have no connection to their degrees, or live with their aging parents off their meagre income. That means little prospects of dating and marriage. Others are turning to crime, which will not haves a happy ending under a communist regime, although I am not sure why if the offences are against "private property," which communists are supposed to oppose, but only on paper. These displaced youth are called "rat tailed kids," parallel to the "rat-tailed" unfinished buildings that dot across China.
I noticed this:
"Joblessness among college graduates is not without precedent.
In 1999, China dramatically expanded the enrolment capacity of universities in a bid to produce a better educated workforce to drive its fast-growing economy.
But the supply of graduates had kept exceeding jobs, with authorities expressing concern in 2007 over job availability, an issue that receded but never fully faded as more youth armed with degrees entered the market.
The outlook is uncertain even when a student's major aligns with market needs.
Shou Chen finished her third year at Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications this year majoring in artificial intelligence.
However, Chen has yet to secure an internship after more than a dozen applications, and remains pessimistic about the job market.
"It may be worse," she said. "After all, there will be more and more people (in this field)."
Supply of tertiary students will exceed demand from 2024 through 2037, after which the effects of falling fertility rates will kick in and sharply narrow the gap, according to a study published in June by China Higher Education Research, a journal under the education ministry.
New college graduates will likely peak at around 18 million in 2034, it said.
The solution will obviously be to ship all of these people off to deracinated multicult countries like Australia, who are happy to replace its own people, with unending mass immigration.
