New Delhi, Sep 10
With youth unemployment surging to an 11-month high in China, several stressed jobless youth in the country leave home every day and "pretend to work" while sitting in libraries and cafes, while their families think they are doing regular jobs, according to a media report.
Some of the jobless graduates even rent desks in mock offices so that they can spend time while searching for jobs without feeling lonely, as others are also seated in the shared space while being engaged in the same task, according to a report in Channel NewsAsia (CAN).
The report is based on extensive interviews with jobless graduates and other youngsters in China's Shanghai and Hangzhou cities.
These spaces with computers, desks, meeting rooms and internet access are springing up in major Chinese cities like Shanghai, Shenzhen and Chengdu.
