Premier vows to help start-ups

Premier Li Keqiang pledged more policies to facilitate start-up businesses, a move that would promote innovation and ease job-hunting worries of college graduates. The premier promised better support from the government for student entrepreneurs facing difficult job-hunting prospects. He said their perseverance will lead to larger possibilities of success when building up businesses. Li made the pledge at a forum on Friday 17 January, where the government sought opinions from representatives in science, education, culture, medicine and sports as well as from migrant workers and young business owners. Nearly 7.3 million graduates of Chinese colleges will enter the job market in June, not to mention those returning from overseas study. The number will be 280,000 more than 2013, which was considered the hardest year to find a job by some analysts, due to the global economic downturn. Reports China Daily.
