青年中心助力毕业生顺利起步

讨论让世界运转。这

Discussion keeps the world turning. This

是圆桌论坛。

is Roundtable.

大家好。欢迎来到圆桌论坛，我们在这里为您奉上关于中国及全球热点议题的激烈辩论。我是林悠鸿。每一代人都有自己踏入社会的第一步。对当今的年轻人而言，这一步往往始于远离家乡的城市——那里梦想很高，但房租可能更高。

Hello. Welcome to Roundtable, where we serve piping hot debate on the issues that sizzle in China and beyond. I'm Yohong Lin. Every generation has its version of the first step into society. For today's youth, that step often begins far from home, in cities where dreams are tall but rent can be even taller.

青年驿站由此应运而生。目前覆盖200多个城市且数量仍在增长的2600多座驿站，提供的不仅是一个屋顶。还有温暖、指导，以及这座城市为你加油的感觉。中国城市如何向新来者伸出橄榄枝？让我们在今天的节目中探讨。

That's where youth hubs come in. Now covering 200 cities and counting, these more than 26 hundreds hubs offer more than a roof. There's also warmth, guidance, and the feeling that the city is rooting for you. How are these Chinese cities meeting their newcomers halfway? Let's discuss in today's show.

今天的节目由星宇和史蒂夫·哈瑟利与我共同主持。现在请拿起您的虚拟指南针，跟随我们进入讨论核心。想象这个场景：一位年轻毕业生手拎行李箱，站在城市火车站，既兴奋又忧虑。

For today's show, I'm joined by Xingyu and Steve Hatherley. Now grab your virtual compass and follow us to the heart of the discussion. Picture this. A young graduate, suitcase in hand, standing at a city's train station with both excitement and worry.

听起来像电影开场画面，不是吗？

Sounds like the opening scene to a movie, doesn't it?

你完全能想象人们这种状态。他们身处梦想之城怀揣远大理想，却不知从何开始。明天就要面试，酒店价格却远超预期，未来既令人兴奋又充满不确定性。这时一条消息闪现：欢迎来到青年驿站。

You can totally see people doing that. They're in their dream city and they have big dreams, yet they do not know what to do, how to start. And their interview is tomorrow, and the hotel prices are high, much higher than expected, and the future feels excited but also uncertain. And then comes a message. Welcome to the Youth Hub.

你可以免费住在这里，获得免费指导，或许还能迎来新的开始。那一刻，一张床不再仅仅是床，而是融入新城市的第一步。我们所说的青年驿站，关键词在于它正在中国的许多城市兴起。那么，青年驿站究竟是什么？

You can stay here for free, free guidance, and maybe a new beginning. And at that moment, a bed becomes more than just a bed. It's the first step toward belonging in a new city. And the keyword here, the youth hub we're talking up about here are happening in a lot of cities here in China. So what exactly is a youth hub?

如果你即将毕业，在青年驿站里能期待些什么呢？

What can you expect in a youth hub if you are, you know, getting ready to graduate?

是的，你可以称它为青年驿站或青年旅舍。嗯。因为当我查看网上的一些图片时，会发现房间配置和酒店非常相似。嗯。

Yeah. I think you can call it a youth hub or a youth hostel. Mhmm. Because when I check some of the pictures online, you can see that the room settings, they resemble a lot like hotels. Mhmm.

这实际上是一项针对异地求职高校毕业生的公共福利计划。嗯。由全国青联发起。青年驿站提供3至15天的免费短期住宿，同时提供求职指导培训及招聘信息。

So it's actually a public wealth wealth welfare program for recent university graduates who are seeking jobs in cities outside their hometown. Mhmm. And it's initiated by All China Youth Federation. The Youth Hub, they offer free short term accommodations ranging from three days to fifteen days. And they also offer guidance and training for your job seeking as well as they also provide recruit recruitment information.

就床位而言，通常当然会有床铺，还有...不错的热水、WiFi和空调。从图片看，有些驿站直接设在酒店内，基本就是酒店规格；也有些是酒店式公寓。部分房间还提供多人合住的上下铺。

And in terms of the bed, there's usually a bed, of course, and Good. Hot water, WiFi, air conditioner. So if you look at the pictures, some of them are built in a hotel. So it's basically a hotel and some are some of them are hotel like apartment. And in some of the rooms, they offer bunk beds for more than just one person.

该项目已在深圳、杭州、上海等多地运营。以深圳为例——这个中国发展最快的城市之一，早在2014年就启动了试点。其他城市近年也陆续推出相同计划。深圳率先尝试后，服务网络已扩展至其他区域。

And it's been operated in many cities including Shenzhen, Hangzhou, Shanghai. Shenzhen for instance, Shenzhen is the fast fastest growing cities one of the fastest growing cities in China. And as early as 2014, the city has launched this pilot program. And if you look at other cities, they have launched the same program in recent years. So Shenzhen has made the first try out and since then the network has expanded to other districts.

首个青年驿站诞生于福田区，目前全市已设立50个站点，实现行政区全覆盖。这些驿站提供7至15天免费住宿，服务包括岗位信息匹配、入职体检协助、面试技巧培训等，助力青年更好融入城市。

So the first youth hub was created in Futian District and then it has expanded so far 50 stations have been established citywide covering every district. And these youth hubs, they offer seven to fifteen days of free stay and they offer services like job information matching and assistance with pre employment medical checkups and also job hunting skills and trainings for interviews and also support for your better integration to the city.

确实是个好主意，这需要大量协调工作。但规划得当的话，事情能进行得非常顺利。今年四月份教育部和青年联合会联合发布了一份报告。

Yeah. It's a really good idea, and it does take a lot of coordination. But when well planned, things can go, really, really well. There was a report from April from this year. It was put out by the Ministry of Education and the organization, the youth federation together.

通知要求在平台上开设专栏，为大学生提供就业服务，并通过共青团所属网络媒体分享最新信息。他们还要求高校将青年驿站服务纳入毕业生就业支持方案，这很重要，因为这能确保学生充分了解现有福利及获取方式。毕竟如果福利存在却无人知晓，那就毫无意义了。

And the notice called for launching a special column on a platform aiming to provide employment service to university students and also CYLC affiliated online media to share related up to date information. And what they did as well was they asked universities to include Youth Hub services in their graduate employment support packages, and that was important because it would ensure that students were fully informed about available benefits and also how to access them. Because if the benefits are there and nobody knows about them, well, then there's not much point of having them at all.

在这个时代，有些人能做好规划、深入研究目标行业信息，但并非人人都如此。有人能从容准备面试、规划理想工作，带着周全准备前往城市，获得家庭支持，有住宿资金——这是轻松的开局。

In this day and age, it's easy to remember to imagine someone made their plans, dig into all of the information they need in the area that they wanna work in, but it's not everybody. It's easy to have a plan about your job interview and or have a plan about your dream job and get the job interview and go to the city with all of the things that are fully prepared. You can get the support from your family. You have the money for the hotel. That is the easy start.

但必须承认，很多人起步艰难。有时是因为那是梦想工作，你决心要做却准备不足；有时是特别中意某家公司，却缺乏起步资源。这类青年驿站能为应届毕业生提供良好的起点。

But we have to admit, there are a lot of hard starting for people as well. Sometimes it's because that is your dream job. You know you're gonna do that, but you do not really fully prepared. Sometimes it can even be because that you are really into a certain company, yet you didn't have enough to start there. And these kind of hubs would be able to give students or those who have just graduated a good starting point.

那么实际谁可以申请呢？我很好奇。

So who can actually reapply, I was wondering.

不同城市的青年驿站要求不同。比如在上海，申请者须是应届毕业生或毕业两年内，还需提供在沪面试证明、工作录用通知或实习证明。

Yeah. There are actually different requirements for different youth hubs in different cities. In Shanghai, for instance, you have to be a recent graduate or you have graduated within two years. And also, you have to provide proof of your interviews in the city or your job offerings or internships. You have to prove that.

而且申请者不能是上海本地人，即不持有上海户籍。这很合理。

And also, you are not a Shanghai local. That means you don't own a Shanghai household. Makes sense.

或者城市里的家人。是的。

Or family within the city. Yes.

或者你在该城市没有任何住宅房产。那么你可以申请在城里停留三天，而且每人每年最多只能申请十五天，是的，在城里停留。

Or you don't have any residential property in the city. Then you can apply for for three day stay in the city, And one person can only apply for at most fifteen days a year, yes, staying at the city.

但那是免费的。你仍然可以在这类中心租房间，继续以远低于酒店和其他住宿类型的价格租住。

But that is for free. You can still rent a room in these kind of hubs, continue to rent it with a still very much lower price compared to hotels and other type of accommodation.

尤其是在上海和北京这样的城市。

Especially in cities like Shanghai and Beijing.

是的。如果你看看不同的城市，比如杭州，他们也有类似的规定。你不能有当地的户口。嗯。也不能在当地拥有自有住房。

Yeah. And if you look at different cities, Hangzhou, they have similar rules as well. You can't have your household registration Mhmm. From that area. You can't have any self owned housing in that area as well.

而且这很合理，因为这些项目是为需要从外地来暂住一段时间的人准备的。但说到具体流程，大学毕业生完成学业后，会在全国不同地区申请工作，然后他们可以通过全国大学生就业服务平台和其他媒体平台查看申请渠道和相关政策信息。感兴趣的人可以关注某些微信公众号，比如有个地方叫孝感，如果你想去那里，可以关注一个叫'青春孝感'的公众号，填写申请表，然后该市青联的区委会会在收到申请后三个工作日内处理并发出通知。

And it and it makes sense because these these programs are for people who need to come from outside the area to stay for a period of time. But when talking about how the the process actually works, so university graduates, after they finish their studies, they they'll apply for jobs across different regions around the country, and then they can check the application channels and the related policy information on the university on the National University Student Employment Service platform and on, other media platforms as well. And then those interested can go to certain WeChat public accounts. For example, there's a place called Xiaogan. And if you are interested in going there, then there's a public account called youth Xiaogan, and you fill in the application form, and then the district committee of the city of the Youth Federation will access the application and then issue a notice within three working days after they receive that application.

所以流程真的很快。是的。不过这不是工作面试那种申请。我们说的申请不是那种意义上的申请。

So it's really quick, the process. Yes. It's not like a job interview, though. That's not what we mean by application. You're not applying for something in that sense.

如果你符合条件且有空余名额，那么你很可能会获得批准。

It's if you meet the criteria and if there's space available, then it's likely to be granted to you.

在中国，这是一个普遍现象——许多个人或部门提供各类服务，你可以通过手机、小程序或互联网申请，非常便利。最近我就办理过类似事项，虽然听起来绕了些，但我申请了育儿补贴。

It's a universal phenomenon here in China that is a lot of people or a lot of departments offer and provide different types of services that you can apply for from your cell phone, from a mini app or on the Internet. It's quite convenient. Recently, I've done something like this. This sounds like a detour, but I applied for the childcare subsidies. Oh.

我知道这个政策。是的，在孩子三岁前可以领取一定补贴。你只需提交所有必要信息，我想这里的流程应该也类似。

I know that. Yes. Before the kid turns three, you get a certain subsidy. Subsidy. And all you need to do is put in all of the information required, and someone I think it's the similar situation here in this process.

之后会有工作人员致电核实信息。比如若缺少某份材料，或你并非上海户籍，他们会要求你补交那份文件，整个申请流程就是这样，相当便捷。

That is someone would call you and confirm all of the information. And if, for example, one paper is missing, you didn't actually approve that you are not a citizen of Shanghai, they would ask you to submit that one piece of paper and then that is the entirety of the application process, which is quite convenient.

是啊。真希望我刚毕业时就有这样的优惠政策。记得本科毕业后，我很顺利就被北京一家公司录用了，所以不用经历在京租房找工作的阶段。后来我去英国读了硕士，回国后在老家待了几个月。

Yes. I wish I had such a preferential policy back when I just graduated from I remember back then, I think after my undergraduate program, I actually smoothly got recruited by a company in Beijing. So I didn't have to spend some time else in the in inside Beijing while renting a room. So after I got a job, I have rented a room. So But after And then I had a master program in The UK and then when I was back to my hometown, I stayed there for like a couple of months.

那时我非常迷茫，不知该做什么，找不到人生方向。于是我又来到北京，期间每月需自付约2000元房租，同时求职。

I was very lost. I didn't know what to do. I didn't know where my future direction goes. So And then I came to Beijing again. So at that point, I had to pay for the rent myself, around 2,000 yuan per month while I was looking for a job.

这样持续了几个月才被CGTN录用。回想那时，我没有任何支持，至少感觉自己是独自面对一切。是的。

So that also took like several months before I got recruited by CGTN. So, yeah. Back then, I didn't had any support, I guess, or I didn't know. At least I felt like I was doing everything all by myself. Yes.

还有来自家人的支持。

And also support from my family.

这些项目打开了机会之门。

These these programs open doors.

是的。

Yes.

对于年轻的求职者来说。它们在全国各地打开了原本可能从未考虑过的大门。因为对你，Jun，你说过，你不得不自掏腰包前来。但对许多人来说，这不是一个选项。嗯。

For for young job seekers. They open doors in different parts of the country that might not even be considered before. Because for you, Jun, you you said, well, you had to come and you had to spend your own money out of your own pocket. But for many people, that's not an option. That's Mhmm.

这不是刚大学毕业的人能负担得起的。所以，人们可能会说，我甚至不会考虑在北京找工作，因为，我得自己去那里，自付住宿费，而且找工作还没有保障。稍后我们会有一些统计数据来支持这个观点。但确实，这会让年轻人对很多地区望而却步，而有了这些选择，真是件好事。在继续之前，再举几个上海的例子。如果你想在那里找工作，他们同样使用微信公众号。

Not something that they can afford, just having graduated from, university. So again, you know, people might have said, oh, I wouldn't even consider looking for something in Beijing because, well, I'd have to go there, I'd have to get there by myself, and I'd have to pay for accommodations, and then there's no guarantee of looking for work, and I think we have some statistics to back up that concept a little bit later. But, yeah, it would close the door on a lot of different regions for young people, but with these options, it's a really good thing. Here's a couple more examples just before we move on in Shanghai. If you are looking for a job there, then again, they use a WeChat public account.

上海12355。你可以在那里申请服务，获取上海所有青年驿站的详细信息，流程和你的一样。你登录后上传所有个人信息，选择某个驿站后就会收到面试通知。杭州也是同样的方式，可以通过微信小程序申请，那里叫'人才杭州'。

It's Shanghai 1235 12355. You can apply for the service there, and then they get the specific information on all the youth hubs within Shanghai, same as your process. You home in, you upload all the personal information, and then you get interview notices after selecting a certain hub. Then it's the same thing in Hangzhou that you can apply via the WeChat mini program. It's called Talent Hangzhou there.

啊。你只需要上传身份证照片或学生证照片，以及其他申请材料。

Aw. And all you need to do there is to upload materials like your ID card photo or your student ID card photo, as well as the other application application materials.

假设你已经成功入住这些地方，可以享受3到6天的免费住宿。如果你极其幸运，可能在一周内就找到工作。若未能如愿，你仍能以远低于酒店的价格支付租金，同时继续求职。与辛雨独自面对一切不同，这些青年旅舍提供的不仅是免费或廉价住宿，你还能享受其他配套服务。

And let's say you are already very successfully got into these places. You have a around three to six day free of charge stay. If you're really, really, really lucky, you can land on a job already in that one week. But if you're not, you can still pay for a, again, substantially cheaper amount of rent compared to stay in a hotel, and you start to look for a job. And unlike Xinyu, who has to do it all by herself, you can have enjoy some of the services in these kind of youth hubs because free or very cheap accommodation is not the only thing they provide.

是的。谈到这为年轻人带来的机遇，我之前提到过一些统计数据，现在分享给大家。2017年智联招聘校园招聘频道发布的求职成本调研显示：

Yeah. And when talking about what opportunities this provides for young people, I mentioned that there were some statistics. I'd like to share those now. There was a survey conducted in 2017 on job hunting costs. It was published by the university graduate job seeking branch of recruitment portal 51 job, and this is what they found.

当时近5000名应届毕业生中，近三分之一因跨城交通成本高而放弃异地面试机会。16.5%（近17%）的受访者甚至从未考虑过异地求职，更别提承担住宿费用了。这正是我之前说的——当想到需要自费这些开销时，即便距离不算特别远，

Nearly one third of close to 5,000 soon to be graduates at that time said that they would give up out of town interview opportunities due to high intercity travel costs. 16.5%, almost 17%, had not even considered seeking jobs in other cities at all, let alone paying for the accommodation cost. That's what I was talking about before. When you think I have to pay for these things, no. I'm not even super far away from where I am.

既要支付酒店费用又要承担交通费，就直接把机会排除在外了。嗯。

I have to pay for a hotel. I have to pay to get there. That takes it off the option list. Mhmm.

没错。这就相当于还没开始赚钱，就已经在差旅住宿上花了一大笔。不过需要说明，这些青年旅舍虽提供免费住宿，但水电费仍需自理。当然。

Yeah. So it's like before you were making any money, but you already have spent a lot on the expenses of traveling and accommodation. But I have to mention that these youth hubs, they offer free accommodation, but you still need to pay the utilities. Sure. Yeah.

水电费之外，我查过的部分青旅还要求缴纳几百元押金...是的，在入住期间

Water and electricity. And also, some of the youth hostels that I've checked, they also require a deposit of several 100 yuan before yeah. While you stay

其实还算合理

Which is not bad at

嗯嗯。

all Mhmm.

如果你仔细想想。

If you really think about it.

这很有道理。

That makes sense.

是的。对。

Yes. Yeah.

但是

But

是的。除此之外，我们还讨论了他们提供的服务类型。例如在杭州，他们提供多种服务，帮助年轻人更好地融入城市。包括让你更快熟悉城市的服务，以及提供当地就业市场信息。

yeah. And besides that, we talked about the kind of services they're providing. For example, in Hangzhou, well, they provide a different types of services. They help young people to feel welcome in these cities. That include the services that take you to get familiar with the city a bit faster, and it also includes the kind of information about the job market here in the city.

比如在杭州，一旦你进入青年驿站，工作人员会发送交通指南、杭州天气更新，并提供24小时咨询服务，随时解答关于招聘会等问题。附近还有社区食堂提供优惠餐食。住在青年驿站的人可以享受这些食堂的折扣。无需担心食宿问题，人们就能全心准备面试或寻找更多机会。是的。

For example, in Hangzhou, once you get into one of the youth hubs, people would send traffic guidance, weather updates in the city of Hangzhou, and does person also provide twenty four hour counseling services ready to answer questions about the type of, for example, the meeting or the job hunting fairs that you would like to attend. There is a community canteen nearby offering food at a discounted price. If you live in the youth hub, they pair up with these kind of canteens, you can enjoy a discount. And with no need to worry about food or accommodation, people would be able to entirely focus on preparing for interview, for example, or looking for more opportunities. Yeah.

你不必担心其他那些事情。是的，所以不仅仅是提供房间而已。

You don't have to worry about those other things. Yeah. So it's not just the room provided.

是的。

Yes.

还有很多其他的支持和帮助。是的，这样你就能专注于工作面试，同时也让你能轻松适应这座城市。交通引导和天气更新，我的意思是，这服务相当优质。

There's lots of other support and assistance. Yes. So that you can focus on your job interview, but also just to have you ease into the city. Traffic guidance and weather updates. I mean, that's pretty top quality service right there.

是的。特别是对于一个刚毕业在异地工作的年轻人来说，我认为这些服务已经向那些年轻人才传递了非常友好的信息。所以对这些城市本身而言，他们实际上可以通过这些策略留住人才，让他们留在城市工作，也让城市变得更好。这也是另一个好处。

Yes. And also, especially for a fresh graduate working in another city, I think these services already giving are already giving a very welcoming message to those young talents. So for the cities themselves, they can actually through these strategies, they can actually retain the talents to keep them inside the city and work for the city and also get the city better. That's also another benefit to

留下好印象。是的，说得好。对许多去那座城市的年轻学生来说，那可能是他们第一次意识到中国有多大。那可能是他们第一次真正去到那座城市。

Making a good impression. Yes. That's a good point. For many of these young students traveling to that city, that might be the first time remember how big China is. That might be the first time they're actually going to that city.

想象一下整个过程会有多令人忐忑。你已经因为要去一个从未去过的地方面试而紧张，分不清这条街和那条街，不知道地铁出口在哪里，什么都不了解。但有了这项服务，他们随时准备回答你的任何问题，甚至包括你是否需要带伞。

So imagine imagine how intimidating that whole process would be. You're already nervous because you're going to a job interview in a place that you've never been before. You don't know this street from that street. You don't know where the subway exits are. You don't know anything, but you have this service provided where they're they're there to answer your questions, any questions that you might have, and apparently whether you will need an umbrella or not on

那天。当我得知已经有超过2600个这样的服务中心时，确实让我印象深刻。说实话，可能因为我不是年轻人，这些信息不是针对我的。但我有点好奇想知道人们都在做什么。

that day. Once I know that there are already more than 2,600 of these hubs Yes. I was quite impressed. And to be honest, maybe it's because I'm not a young person and the information is not targeting me. But I was a bit curious to know what are people doing.

这必须是一项集体努力。你需要让人们知道这些中心的存在。你需要让为这些中心提供资金支持的人知道他们的钱用在了正确的地方。这些中心确实在帮助人们。已经取得了积极成果，而你们需要持续提升服务质量以及这些中心的空调质量。

It must be a collective effort. You need to let people know these hubs exist. You need to let whoever's providing the financial support for these hubs to know that their money goes into the right place. These hubs are actually helping people. There are positive results, and you need to constantly improve the quality of services and the quality the air conditioner in these hubs.

所以所有这些都需要完成。这些非常精妙的声音是如何运作的？

So all these needs to be done. And how are these very sounds delicate

机制如何运作？是的。我认为不仅大学，全中国的组织都在共同努力，在管理这些中心方面也发挥着重要作用。对大学而言，中国许多高校已通过就业指导课程向学生或毕业生介绍这些青年中心。因此在毕业前，他们已掌握相关知识或至少知道有这个选择。

mechanism work? Yeah. I think not just universities, but also organizations across China, they are working together and they also play an important role in managing these hubs. For universities, I think many of the universities in China, they have included informing students or the graduates about these youth hubs through their employment guidance classes. So before their graduation, they're already equipped with this knowledge or they least they know about this There's the option.

是的。他们确实有这个选择。不仅是免费住宿，还包括求职指导和培训。此外，各地青年联合会也在不断升级服务。比如在成都，部分青年中心就设在产业园区或人才聚集区附近。

Yeah. There's the option for them. Not just free accommodation, but also job seeking guidance and trainings as well. And also, these local youth federation, they have also been upgrading their services as well. Like in the city of Chengdu, some of the youth hubs, they are located just near the industrial parks or areas where talents they gather.

因此这些选址都是经过精心规划的。在潍坊等城市，全市虽有300多家酒店，但经过严格筛选流程，最终选出40多家位置优越、设施完善的酒店接待青年人才，另有70多家酒店被指定为备选方案。

So these the locations, how they select locations are very much well planned. And also in the cities like Weifeng as well, they have over 300 hotels citywide but they have been there's a process of refined selection process with more than 40 well located, fully equipped hotels being selected to host these young talents and also over 70 additional hotels designated as backup options.

确实。而且，我觉得这很合理。你不想把中心建在——

Yeah. And and, I it makes sense. You don't wanna build the hub.

太远的地方。

Far away.

在偏远的地方。抱歉，那里进城要花两小时。考虑到学生的情况，我觉得把这类设施设在交通便利、方便他们前往求职面试地点的地方是个好主意。

Out in the middle of nowhere. Pardon me. Where it takes two hours to get into the city. So that's that's I guess, considering the students, that's a good idea to have it in places where it's convenient to get to the places where they will be job interviewing.

我们之前讨论过这个问题。中国很多城市正在将自己打造成青年友好型城市，实施各种政策，青年中心就是其中之一。我们谈论的这种青年中心旨在帮助年轻人顺利在城市起步，当然还有其他类型的。

We talked about this before. That is, a lot of cities here in China are making themselves or building themselves into youth friendly cities. They have different types of policies, and the youth hub one is just one example. And this particular type of youth hub we're talking about is for those to get a good start in a city. There are other ones.

比如在全国不同地区，有各种类型的青年中心，不仅面向应届毕业生，也面向那些想暂时停下脚步的人——工作了一段时间的人。是的，间隔年。不仅是为了寻找下一步方向，也是为了享受生活，或是思考是否要转变人生轨道。

For instance, in for I think in different parts of the country, there are different types of youth hub, not only targeting those fresh graduates, but also those who wanna take a pause in their life. Have worked for a while. Yes. A gap year. Yet, it's not only to find what they wanna do next, but also to enjoy life a little or to think about whether or not they wanna change gears, whether or not they want to start a new type of life.

甚至对那些仍在工作但希望加入志同道合社群的人，也有这类青年公寓。有些由当地政府支持，有些则完全由私营企业创办运营。

And even for those who are currently still working yet want to be in a community of similar type of like minded people. Mhmm. There are these kind of youth accommodation as well. Some are supported by the local government. Some are even initiated and entirely run by private companies.

这类青年公寓，比如云南有一个案例，是栋单体住宅楼。只允许20至45岁且有工作经历的人入住。租金便宜，但最大卖点是能与同龄人共同生活——不仅是同住一栋楼，更能一起玩乐。我看过一个视频，有个刚搬进去的姑娘说...

And these kind of youth accommodations, they well, for example, there is this one in Yunnan province. And in this particular I think it's a type of a residential community with only one building. They only allow people who are under the age of 45 and also above the age of 20, and they have to have working experience to live in these kind of accommodation. It's relatively cheap, but the biggest selling point or the major attraction is that living in these kind of places, you you are with the kind of people you can play together, not only you live together or in the sense that in the same building. And I've watched this one video of this young girl saying she newly moved into one of these kind of accommodations.

她加入微信群后，群里就有人说：'比如住301的我烤了个大蛋糕，自己吃不完。有兴趣的可以敲门来拿，记得自带盘子分着吃。'视频里那个姑娘最后都没能回到自己房间——

And when she joined the WeChat group, people in the WeChat group started to say, live in, for for example, three zero one, and I have cooked I have baked a huge cake. I cannot finish it by myself. Whoever's interesting No. You can come over, knock on the door, but make sure you bring your own plate and I will share some. And what what happened in that video is that the girl never made it back to her own room.

她一路上都在收集食物：蛋糕、猪肉、一碗汤...住在这样的地方让她非常开心。

She is on her way collecting food the entire journey. She got cake. She got pork. She got a bowl of soup. And when she she was very happy living in these kind of places.

有些地方甚至会在夜间组织篝火晚会哦。哇，还有夜间读书会。在这些地方，你不仅能享受相对便宜的住宿，还能结识新朋友。

And some of the places would even organize the kind of bonfire party during nighttime Oh, wow. Reading club during nighttime. Oh. And you not you can, in these places, not only enjoy a relatively cheaper accommodation, but the company and the opportunity to make new friends.

那么有什么限制条件吗？你必须当时正在找工作才能入住吗？

So what's the the stipulation then? Do you have to be looking for a job at that time?

不，不，不。因为这是私人经营的，理念是让年轻人能按照自己的方式享受生活。哇哦。

No. No. No. Because this one is personally run, and the in the idea is that this person or this company want young people to be able to enjoy life the way they want. Oh, wow.

所以既有那种帮助你努力工作、寻找职业梦想的青年中心，也有让你放慢脚步的青年设施。

So there are the kind of facilities, the kind of youth hubs that are helping you to work hard, to find a job, to find your dream career. But there are also the kind of youth facilities or youth hubs that are helping you to slow down,

这种享受型服务很有意思。我查了查我的祖国加拿大，我们有青年就业服务，但只专注于简历修改、面试技巧等。据我所知，加拿大没有这种可以免费去其他城市住几天准备面试的枢纽中心。我在想如果加拿大也有这种服务，省际工作机会会不会更多。

This to enjoy is interesting. Know, I was looking at Canada where I'm from to see if we have similar services available, and we do in Canada have youth employment services, but they're strictly focused on helping young people prepare their resumes, job interview skills, things like that. We don't have things as far as I could find, like these types of hubs where you can travel to a different city for free for a few days while you prepare for a job interview in that in that location. And I was just thinking if Canada had these types of things, I wonder if we'd see a lot of cross border work opportunities. And by cross border, I mean province to province, not between Canada and America.

我大学毕业时，加拿大和中国的很多大学都提供毕业生就业指导服务，但都没有这种特色。加拿大唯一特别的是为即将就业的年轻人提供心理健康服务，因为找不到工作压力真的很大，容易让人想放弃。

When I was graduating from university, yeah, my university, and a lot of universities in Canada and America and and here in China too and everywhere probably, have these kind of preparation services available for young people who are about to graduate, but there's nothing like this. The only thing that stood out to me that was kind of special in Canada is that they have mental health services available for young students who are preparing to get into the workforce because it can be a very stressful time if you can't find work right away. Right? You can give up. Make you want to give up.

所以我觉得这个服务还挺酷的。

So I I thought that was kind of a cool thing.

是的。另外，我查看了北京昌平区的情况。该区也设有青年中心，但让我印象深刻的是他们为那些想在区内创业的年轻人才提供的项目。区政府为这些人提供最长三个月的免费住宿。三个月？没错。

Yeah. And also, I checked Beijing's Changping District. The district also offers youth hubs, but what stood out to me was that they have this program for those young talents who want to start a business in the district. And the district offers up to three months free accommodation for those who Three months? Yeah.

三个月。所以我觉得这相当棒，而且为他们创业提供了一个非常友好的环境。

Three months. So that's pretty, I think, amazing and also offer a very friendly environment for them to actually start their entrepreneurship.

我们在《圆桌会议》上讨论过这个话题。在许多地方、不同城市，都有面向年轻人的创业孵化基地。如果你想创业，可以以相对较低的价格租用办公室，还能在这些中心获得指导和培训课程。今年四月，国家出台了更多鼓励政策，包括鼓励学生创业、鼓励他们在不同岗位工作。我想说的是，这些政策不仅帮助学生、年轻人获得良好开端，开启新生活。

We've talked about this on Roundtable. In many places, in many different cities, there are also the kind of incubation base for young people. If you wanna start a business, you can have a low well, you can rent an office in relatively lower price, and you would have guidance and even training sessions you can attend in these kind of centers. And this April, we see the country has rolled out other encouraging policies, including encouraging students to start a business, encouraging them to work in different positions. And what I wanna say about this is that not only are these policies helping students, helping young people to get their, well, get their good start and get their new life started.

同时也帮助了不同城市的各类企业，因为如果能留住人才在你的城市，那就没问题了。

It's also helping different companies in different cities because if you can have the talent stay in your city, there's no Yeah.

长期来看。

Long term.

是的。你的城市就不会有

Yeah. No problem that your city would have

什么

a

繁荣的未来。因此我们在政策中提到，4月1日起，针对偏远地区、发展相对滞后的县乡，也有各类优惠政策支持这类工作岗位，年轻人或许能在那里找到理想工作。

prosperous future. And that is why in the policy we mentioned, the April 1, there are also different types of preferential policies supporting the kind of job positions in remote areas, in relatively under well, not that developed counties as well as villages, young people to probably find your dream job there.

正因如此，雇主企业、青年组织与高校之间的紧密协作至关重要，这能让流程尽可能高效。他们正在考虑进一步扩大创业就业导师队伍，我认为这是个好主意，能为年轻人提供比现有更实用的指导。

And that's why the coordination between the employers, the companies, and then the youth organizations or the universities themselves, That close coordination is important to make it as efficient the process is efficient as possible, and and what they're looking at doing is expanding further the the pool of entrepreneurship and employment mentors, which I think is a great idea to provide, young people with really even more practical guidance than they're getting already.

现在我们对这些青年驿站了解很多了。有什么建议吗？您认为他们还能如何进一步提升对年轻人的服务与帮助？

Now we know a lot about these youth hubs. Any suggestions? Anything that you think they can do to even further improve their services and their help to or for the young people?

是的。我认为尤其在毕业季，比如今年中国有超过1200万毕业生。高峰期这些青年驿站需求激增，有些房间根本预约不到。而在淡季时，房间又会...

Yeah. I think especially during the graduation season, like this year, China has over 12,000,000 graduates this year. And especially during the peak season, there's these youth hubs, they're in high demand. And some of the rooms, you just you cannot book. And some of the off peak seasons, then the rooms can be

闲置。

Empty.

闲置。所以我认为在这方面需要更灵活的房间安排和供给机制。

Empty. So we need a more flexible, like, room arrangement and room supply, I guess, in this sense.

没错。杭州目前就在这样做。正如你所说，高峰期城市通过多种渠道扩充驿站住宿供给；淡季时部分驿站会延长允许居住时长，并适度放宽申请条件，从而扩大合格申请者的范围。

Yeah. Hangzhou's doing that right now, actually. It's exactly what you said. During the peak season, the city is expanding their hub accommodation supply through a lot of different channels. And then in off peak periods, some of the hubs extend the allowable stay duration and also moderately kind of relax the application requirements, and that helps to broaden the range of eligible applicants.

所以这是其中一个解决方案

So that's one of the solutions to that

是的。潜在的方案可能是，我们可以让年轻人协助或鼓励社会和企业的共同参与，尝试直接将年轻人引导到更多公司的门口。这可能是他们能做的另一件事。在现代化的故事中，城市常常追求速度与增长，但或许真正的进步，是以城市如何温柔地接纳初来乍到者来衡量的。

Yes. Potential And probably, we can have the youth help helping or encouraging social and enterprise co participation, trying to bring the young people directly to the doors to the entrance of more companies. That might be another thing that they can do. And in the story of modernization, cities often chase speed and growth, but perhaps true progress is measured by how gently a city catches those arriving for the first time.
