China’s Looming Talent Shortage
Search for talent in China is getting tougher, by David Lague
China’s headlong economic growth outpaces the supply of qualified professionals and managers … Despite turning out more than three million graduates a year, Chinese universities and colleges cannot keep up with demand from an economy that has been galloping ahead at nearly 10 percent a year for most of the past two decades.
And, employers complain, many graduates lack the skills and experience necessary to start work immediately, particularly for foreign companies.
Poor English and general communication skills are seen as the most serious barrier for graduates seeking work in multinational or joint- venture companies.
