MGI: 1 in 10 Chinese candidates could work in MNC

October 10, 2005

Less than 10% of Chinese job candidates are suitable to work in a multinational company within the services or export sectors, according to a new study published by McKinsey Global Institute, McKinsey & Company's economics think tank. Despite China's 1.6 million engineers, for example, only 160,000 would be able to work in a world-class company, roughly the same number produced by the UK, according to the MGI research.
