受我國經濟影響 年就業形勢將越發嚴峻

People seeking employment in China may face greater pressure to find a job this year as the country's economy continues to face downward pressure, a senior official said on Monday.

上週一，中國一名高級官員表示，因受經濟下行的影響，今年中國的求職者將在尋找工作上面臨更大的壓力。

Yin Weimin, minister of human resources and social security, said Monday at a press conference that China will experience a complicated job market in 2016 as some workers will be laid off as the government moves to reduce overcapacity. In the coal and steel industries, some 1.3 million and 500,000 people will be affected.

中國人社部部長尹蔚民在週一的新聞發佈會上表示，2016年的中國就業市場將十分複雜，由於政府化解產能過剩會造成一部分職工下崗。在煤炭和鋼鐵這兩個行業，分別約有130萬和50萬人將受到影響。

Yin said pressure to find a job will also increase as the number of younger job-seekers - mainly college graduates - will rise to 7.65 million this year, 160,000 more than in 2015.

尹蔚民表示，年輕的求職者，主要是高校畢業生的增加(今年的高校畢業生是765萬，比去年增加了16萬)，也給就業市場增加了壓力。

China's working-age population - those aged between 16 and 59 - has dropped by 4.87 million to 910 million, or 66.3 percent of the total population, the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) said Monday. In 2014, the NBS said China had 915 million workers, down 3.7 million from 2013.

中國國家統計局週一表示，中國的勞動年齡人口（16歲至59歲）已經下降了487萬人，達到了9.1億，約佔總人口的百分之66.3%。在2014年，國家統計局表示，中國有9.15億勞動力，比2013年同比下降了370萬。

Huang Wenzheng, a former Harvard University assistant professor and expert on demographics, told the Global Times that the decline in the working-age population will lead to a decline in consumption, which will further hit China's economy.

前哈佛大學助理教授以及人口統計專家黃文政告訴環球時報，勞動人口的下降將導致消費下降，這將進一步打擊中國經濟。

Huang also predicts that China's population may begin shrinking by 2023, and recommends that the family planning policy be abolished, which was relaxed beginning January 1 to allow all couples to have two children.

黃教授還預測，中國的人口可能會在2023年開始萎縮，並建議取消計劃生育政策，當然，計劃生育政策從1月1日開始放寬，允許所有夫婦生育兩個孩子。
