China's Millennials Face Age Discrimination in Job Market

In China, many millennials are facing the "curse of 35," where they are considered too old for certain job opportunities. This age discrimination is prevalent in the tech industry and other sectors, with job listings and recruitment sites explicitly stating age limits. The Chinese government also excludes candidates above 35 for civil servant positions. The issue is compounded for women who face gender discrimination and pressure related to maternity leave. Legal reform is seen as the best solution to address ageism and gender inequality in the workplace.
