520 |a“Although issues have been raised with respect to many of China's official statistics, those pertaining to the labour market have been seen as particularly problematic. A reliable and regularly released labour market indicator can offer insights into an economy’s cyclical position, supporting macroeconomic analysis and policy-making. Moreover, such an indicator is essential for the design of appropriate labour market policies. In this paper, we utilize machine learning techniques, specifically text analytics, to construct a labour market conditions index (LMCI) for China by extracting labour market information from mainland Chinese-language newspapers over the period 2003 to 2017. The results suggest that text analytics can be used to extract useful labour market information from Chinese newspapers"--Non-technical summary.
