During the 11th Five-Year Plan period (2006 - 2010), there will be an excessive labor forces of about 12 million every year.

Able-bodied worker population has taken up 65% of the total population since some 20 years ago, and the current situation will last for at least another 20 years.

 

In the next 4 years, there will be a 20-million-strong new labor force entering the job market every year, and another 4 million workers who need to change jobs. However, with an 8% or 9% of annual economic growth, there will be only 12 million job vacancies3 available annually4.

 

Rural areas will suffer from labor surplus, too, although the situation will not be as bad as in urban areas.
