Guiyang creates livable, career-friendly city for youth

Since winning the pilot project of national youth development city construction in June 2022, Guiyang, capital city of Southwest China's Guizhou province, has promoted pilot construction work in all aspects.

Guiyang has fostered a good industrial environment for youth employment and entrepreneurship, attracting a large number of young people with various skills through policies related to prioritizing youth development.

During the pilot construction period, Guiyang has carried out the creation and selection activities of civilized youth titles in various industries to mobilize young people to participate in urban construction.

In addition, Guiyang has focused on enhancing the happiness of young people in the city in seven aspects, covering urban planning environment, education environment, employment environment, living environment, health environment, physical and mental health environment, as well as rights and interests protection.

Among them, Guiyang launched three measures to solve its youth housing problem, which are: providing seven to 30 days of free accommodation for young people to start businesses and work in Guiyang; building low-price rental housing and providing rental subsidies to eligible young people; as well as offering a house-purchasing discount of 10 percent of the registered price to eligible young people.

In the future, Guiyang will promote the initiative and contributions of young people to urban development, while striving to build a livable and career-friendly youth development model in Southwest China.
