Chinese Premier Li Keqiang has warned of a “grim” outlook for the job market, urging provincial governments to take stronger action to stabilise employment ahead of a landmark political meeting this year.
In written remarks to a teleconference of provincial leaders on Saturday, Li said employment conditions were “complicated and grim”, and local authorities should step up their efforts on job stability to “ensure the achievement of the annual employment goal and welcome the victory” of the Communist Party’s national congress.
The congress, a five yearly political gathering set to take place in autumn, is expected to mark the start of President Xi Jinping’s third five-year term as the party’s leader.
