Abstract

Youth are the future of the country. When the youth start to “quite quit” (tangping), the country shall struggle to achieve sustainable development. We need to answer a series of questions: What is happening to our society? Why the youth has changed? What is happening to the youth? To grasp the development of contemporary youth, this report analyzes the current factors affecting the motivation and progress of youth in society and regards these factors as a foundation to propose possible incentive mechanisms to improve the current situation of contemporary youth in China.
