Freelancers in China

In China, by the end of 2021, the number of flexibly employed people will have reached 200 million. With the maturation of social media, China has a large number of freelance Internet-based creators such as designers, self-publishers, video or audio editors, and so on. This type of flexible employment is a growing group of people who have emerged as the internet sector continues to grow.

​

However, in China, freelancing is not really applicable to most people. In China, companies pay a range of insurance premiums and some companies have special benefits. In addition, due to demographic pressures, more than half of China's population has a mortgage and a car payment, and these people would not be suitable for freelance work, as freelance income is not stable. So these jobs tend to be more suitable for people who are not under financial pressure, who are more self-disciplined and who have a good sense of the general environment and their own industry, while for the average person, it may be a wiser option to use these industries as a part-time option.
