We just change the calculation. If 25% are unemployed, what if we added a stipulation that they also received a survey from the last job they applied to on whether they were employable. See? We can drop unemployment by calling people unemployable and ignoring those that didn’t apply for a job! Math!
“Sir, our youth unemployment rate is 25%! What should we do?”
“Easy, just stop reporting it. If we don’t know what it is then it’s not a problem we have to deal with”

If iirc, unemployed chinese youth below 30 yo, were considered " Students " now. Don’t know if that’s still used though.
