Dear MEL School’s Topic Readers,
China is still a
jobs hotspot for expats.
Though China is
still the second largest country in the size of economy, the amount of trade, numbers
of products produced and sold are larger than any other country in the world,
such as beer, cars and smartphones, not to mention the population of 1.3 billion.
Then, what about the size of job market for foreigners there?
The number of
foreign workers in China, excluding those in Hong Kong and Macau, exceeded a
quarter million in 2012, up 17% from 2007, according to China’s Ministry of
Human Resources and Social Security. Where do those expatriates come from?
Mostly from the U.S. and the U.K., where job opportunities are plentiful and
compensations are lucrative for talented or skilled workers, not to mention the
living standards and environment, compared with China.
Are China’s job opportunities
for foreigners more attractive than the ones in their homeland? You may want to
research what the job opportunities and compensation packages are like. You may
also want to think what benefits you may earn for the long run.
Enjoy reading and
learning about the job market and opportunities for foreigners in China.
