China’s record high youth unemployment pushes province to roll out 100-day plan to help university graduates ‘land a job’

China’s third most populous province, famous for its iPhone factories, transport links and agricultural businesses, has launched a campaign to help university graduates find a job amid record high youth unemployment.

The central province of Henan will target graduates from low-income families, those who are physically handicapped and those in prolonged unemployment, it said on Tuesday, with the campaign set to run until the end of August.
