近4成年輕人想做職業遊戲玩家 2成想當主播

Most young Chinese would like a job in new media but they run into roadblocks from parents and society, a survey has found.

一項調查發現，我國大部分年輕人想要從事新媒體工作，但他們遇到了來自父母和社會的阻攔。

More than 38% of Chinese younger than 26 said their ideal job would be a professional electronic gamer, 27% want to work as a social media writer and 20% want to be a broadcaster on live-streaming platforms, according to the 2017 Blue Book of the Society released by the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences last Wednesday.

中國社會科學院上週三發佈的2017年《社會藍皮書》顯示，我國26歲以下的青年中，超38%的人表示其理想職業是電子遊戲職業玩家，27%的人的理想職業是社交媒體寫手，20%的人想成爲直播平臺主播。

The report was based on answers from 9,000 respondents, including 2,143 younger than 26.

該報告基於9000名受訪者的回答，其中包括2143名26歲以下的青年。

While 76% of young people said they could envisage such a career, only 18% of parents supported those ambitions, the report said.

報告稱，76%的青年表示他們可以接受此類職業，而僅18%的父母支持上述理想。

Almost a third of young respondents were hesitant to tell others about their interests, worrying that they would be marginalized.

近1/3的青年受訪者對將自己的興趣告訴他人有所顧慮，擔心自己會受到排擠。

But the generation gap is narrowing, said Wang Xiaobing, chief research officer at the Tencent Center for Internet And Society, one of the three authors of the report.

不過騰訊互聯網與社會中心首席研究官、該報告的作者之一的王小兵表示，代溝正在縮小。

"Some parents, who objected to their children doing live-streaming at the very beginning, tended to change to support after they found their children could make good money from that," he said.

他說道：“一些父母在一開始反對他們的孩子做直播，但是當他們發現自己的孩子可以從中賺錢的時候，他們往往會改爲支持。”
