More Chinese Job Losses
China says 20 million migrant workers have lost their jobs during the economic downturn – three times greater than had been suggested previously.
A survey carried out in 15 provinces suggests around 15% of the total migrant labour pool is now unemployed.
Each year between five and seven million new workers from rural areas come to China’s biggest cities looking for work.
They join a migrant worker labour pool estimated at around 130 million.
There are fears that large numbers of unemployed workers could lead to social unrest.
