The first group is those with low educational level and uncompetitive skills who can only find a job in medium and low-end labor markets but are too choosy and unwilling to accept tough low-income jobs. They account for about 30% of these 7 groups.
The second group is college and university graduates who expect too much of and are too fastidious about their future posts to settle down with a job. They constitute some 15% of these 7 groups.
The third group is those who have lost their jobs but unwilling to accept an offer not better than their former posts. They make up approximately 10% of these 7 groups.
The fourth groups are those who choose to give up their jobs for various reasons such as too strained work, maladjustment to work environment, poor interpersonal relationships and further study. They compose around 10% of these 7 groups.
The fifth group is those clouded with illusions of setting up their own businesses who are unsuccessful in their attempts but unwilling to work for others. They form circa 15% of these 7 groups.
The sixth group is habitual job hoppers. 95% of new college and university graduates plan to change their jobs in one year. They are over-confident about their high educational level and therefore choose to frequently change their jobs. Unfortunately, however, they often end up jobless. They build up 10% of these 7 groups.
They last group are only-children who are ready to give up and depend on their parents, who are able and willing to support them. Thus there is no need for them to hurry and find a job. They take up 10% of these 7 groups.
