China Faces Job Challenges as Construction Declines and Automation Rises

12 Ağustos 2026Financial Times

China is facing a significant jobs squeeze as the construction sector declines and manufacturing increasingly turns to automation. Currently, 53 million Chinese workers are employed in low-wage positions, particularly in food delivery and ride-hailing services.
This shift highlights the challenges of job quality and economic stability in the country as traditional employment opportunities diminish.
China's economy has been undergoing significant structural changes, driven by technological advancements and shifts in consumer behavior. The decline of traditional industries has left many workers vulnerable, prompting a surge in gig economy jobs that often lack benefits and job security.
The transition from stable, well-paying jobs in construction and manufacturing to precarious gig economy roles raises concerns about the long-term sustainability of China's labor market. With millions of workers now reliant on low-wage jobs, the implications for consumer spending and social stability could be profound.
