Abstract

China’s rapid economic growth has been accompanied by efforts transition from labor-intensive to technology-driven industries, as exemplified by the “Made in China 2025” (MIC, 2025) initiative. Although this transition aims to enhance economic value, it has also led to significant social challenges, particularly the displacement of low-skilled workers and increasing unemployment due to automation. This study examines the impact of China’s industrial upgrading on unemployment, highlighting skill mismatch and the resulting socioeconomic issues. It proposes that slowing the pace of industrial transition and implementing targeted retraining programs could mitigate these adverse effects and ensure a more balanced and sustainable development trajectory.
