Focus on jobs sees affluent Chinese families spend more on tutoring than overseas exposure

This shift in spending is driven by a focus on helping their kids compete in China's tight domestic job market. As a result, the demand for local tutoring services is increasing, which could have implications for the education sector in China. This trend may also impact the country's economy, as families redirect their spending from international education to domestic opportunities.
