China still faces structural employment issues and the overall pressure on jobs has not eased, despite a good start to the year in the jobs market, Human Resources Minister Wang Xiaoping said on Saturday. Authorities will strengthen policy support to improve youth employment, Wang told a news conference on the sidelines of an annual parliament meeting in Beijing.

China could see 11.79 million college graduates this year, she added, reiterating an education ministry forecast.
