AI Data Insight

In Q4 2025, China's economically active population dropped to 757.47 million, a significant decrease of 9.1 million from the same period last year, indicating the intensifying impact of an aging population and a declining labor force participation rate. While the total volume shrinks, high youth unemployment and a massive "flexible employment" population highlight that the labor market is facing deep structural mismatches and economic transition challenges.
