With an unemployment rate of over 20 percent among people under age 25, mass layoffs in China have affected the careers of young people. In response, many have decided to take their futures into their own hands and open stalls as street vendors. Although they may earn less than before, they can work without fear of suddenly losing their jobs, and some see vending as a chance for networking or study in preparation for other work. In this episode, we gather along with the young people seeking out stability amidst an uncertain future.

About Asia Insight:

ASIA INSIGHT looks at the realities of Asia today.

The documentary series, produced by Japan's national public broadcaster NHK, presents the region both as an ever-evolving and globally relevant center of growth and as the home of traditional cultures often at odds with encroaching globalization.
