Young people shut out of the labor market or burned out from overwork are being hired by their parents to do housework and be on hand whenever needed.

This is so sweet of the parents to pay them for just being around, some people say youth unemployment is even higher than 20% in China, maybe being paid a full salary is a bit much depending on what they are doing but my mom has taken care of me plenty of times.

If my mom wasn't annoying then this would be an awesome job.

Isn't this like being a 24h nurse? I'm not surprised since China's population is shrinking and greying - elder care will become one of the major markets
