      Most metrics include those under 18 (most sources say 16-24) to make China look bad. It’s a good thing that most minors don’t have to work.

        Wait… you’re telling me this whole time the big fuss was about the 16-24 demographic in one of the most studious countries on the planet having low employment rates? Fuck me man. News outlets were talking about it like it was under 30s. Well glad I asked lol

        It’s not normal for college aged adults in China to work in the first place. They’re all studying hard. What a random metric to look at.
