Emerging Occupations Increasingly Popular Among Young Chinese

Emerging occupations like pet photographers, traditional costume designers, and escape room designers are becoming increasingly popular among young Chinese as new industries, new forms and models of business have constantly sprung up in China in recent years, China Youth Daily reported on Sept.10.


According to a recent report, 55% of the practitioners of the new occupations earn over 5,000 yuan per month, among which 24.6% enjoy a monthly salary of more than 10,000 yuan.


With business startups and innovation continue to surge nationwide, new occupations help stimulate and unleash the dynamism and creativity of workers in China, according to Tong Yali, an expert with the Chinese Academy of Personnel Science.


Young peoples engagement in emerging occupations represents the sublimation of their views about jobs and life, said Tong, noting that the new generation attaches more attention to inner experience and the realization of personal value.


More and more post-80s, post-90s, and even post-2000s generation have become the main force in new occupations, as they have more diversified understanding of jobs, plus the new occupations usually mean flexible hours, higher salary, and flexible ways of work, said Lai Youwei, vice president of Chinese food-delivery giant Meituan Dianping and head of Meituan Research Institute.


Emerging industries are still facing huge talent gap, said Lai, stressing that qualified personnel will be the source as well as driving force of new occupations, and he hopes that relevant departments would make further efforts to constantly perfect vocational education and training system so as to create more opportunities for practitioners of new occupations.
