Chinese people in their sixties work as cleaners in hospitals
Chinese people in their sixties work as cleaners in hospitals, earning 2,000 yuan a month.
Shuyang, a small city in northern Jiangsu, is a fifth-tier city with a per capita GDP of $12,000, which is the national average.
There are many elderly people here who are still engaged in physical labor after reaching retirement age in their sixties. They have meager salaries and long working hours, up to 10 hours a day.
However, the reality in many cities in China is that companies cannot recruit young people for low-end jobs, even if they are willing to pay higher salaries.
A large number of young people are unwilling to accept a fixed working life and choose to drive Didi and deliver food. They can freely control the intensity of their work and earn much more if they work hard.
