China's official statistics agency said on Tuesday it had stopped publishing unemployment figures that had previously shown the number of unemployed youth in the country had hit a record high.

The National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) said that starting this month, July, it will no longer publish age-specific breakdowns of unemployment data as it reviews the way it measures the data.

In June, the unemployment rate for workers aged 16 to 24 reached a record 21.3%.

Overall unemployment in July was 5.3%, an increase of 0.1 percent.

The decision to no longer publish youth unemployment figures amid the downward trend was met with criticism on Chinese social media./ CNA
