中国9月青年失业率回落至18% 仍高于去年同期

中国国家统计局公布的数据显示，9月全国16至24岁青年失业率为18%，较8月的18.9%下降0.9个百分点1。尽管失业率出现回落，但这一水平仍然高于去年同期的17.7%，反映出青年就业市场所面临的持续压力1。随着毕业生逐步落实工作岗位，失业率呈现季节性回调1。

与此同时，其他年龄段的失业情况有所不同。9月全国城镇25至29岁劳动力失业率为7.4%，30至59岁劳动力失业率为3.9%1，而全国城镇调查失业率整体为5.2%1。展望未来，2026年中国高校毕业生预计达到1270万人，再创新高1，这将继续对青年就业市场形成压力。

China's National Bureau of Statistics reported that the youth unemployment rate for September stood at 18%, down 0.9 percentage points from August's 18.9%1. Despite this month-over-month improvement, the rate remained 0.3 percentage points higher than the corresponding figure of 17.7% recorded in September of the previous year1.

The seasonal decline reflects the gradual placement of graduates into employment positions1. However, persistent structural pressures loom over the youth labor market. The national urban unemployment rate for ages 25 to 29 reached 7.4% in September, while the rate for those aged 30 to 59 stood at 3.9%1. The overall urban surveyed unemployment rate for the month was 5.2%1. Looking ahead, China's higher education institutions are projected to produce approximately 12.7 million graduates in 2026, marking a record high and presenting continued challenges to youth employment prospects1.
