英媒：中国有能力控制失业问题

　　参考消息网6月25日报道 英媒称，尽管经济增速放缓——或者说正是由于经济增速放缓——中国就业市场能够为下岗工人提供的岗位数量，超出很多人的预期。

　　据路透社6月24日，中国的劳动年龄人口正在以每年数百万人的速度减少，愿意离开家乡的劳动者人数也在下降，这让那些愿意远走他乡的人有了更多的工作机会。

　　这说明，对于中国削减工业产能可能造成大规模失业并引发社会动荡的担忧，或许是多虑了。

　　报道称，去年，中国的经济增速降至7%以下，为25年以来的最低水平，随着北京削减过剩的工业产能，并引导经济向服务业和消费领域发展，很多人失去了工作。

　　消息人士说，未来两三年里，中国可能有500万到600万名国企工人失业。

　　虽然关于中国的失业情况没有足够的官方数据，但野村证券的中国经济学家常春华说，就业市场目前能够应对失业压力。

　　报道称，中国的劳动年龄人口自2012年起开始减少。政府数据显示，去年，16岁到59岁的人口减少了487万人。2014年，这个年龄段的人口减少了371万人。

　　与此同时，中国政府说，今年1月至5月新增就业达到577万人，高于此前的预期。

　　常春华说：“总的来看，当前的失业压力对中国政府而言仍是可控的。”
