BEIJING, July 8 (Xinhuanet) -- "My son stays at home and plays on-line games all day long, still spending our income," Zhang Baoguo, a Shanghai citizen said Thursday in an interview with the local Wenhui Daily, unable to conceal his concern.

    Zhang is busy looking for a job for his son, a college graduate, who not long before gave up his job with a monthly income of 2,000 yuan. "He complained to us that the job restrained him too much," Zhang said.

    A recent survey by a research institute for the elderly said around 30 percent Chinese adults nowadays live with their parents, and some of them even believed that they are born to depend on their parents and that they have a duty to shoulder their children's lives.

    The survey indicated that people who lived off of their parentscan be divided into six groups. The first is college graduates whoheld high expectation on their jobs. They will easily abandon their job once they get unsatisfied with the job. The second is lazy young men who always try to find excuses to work as little aspossible. The third group dreams of start-ups and is not willing to work under the leadership of others. The fourth is job-hoppers.The fifth is laid-off young workers who don't want to work as they always compare the present job with the former one. The last groupare less educated young people who can only sell their physical labor.

    Experts said this phenomenon was partly caused by the "family planning" policy in China. Since most families only have one child, the children were overindulged and got used to getting what they want from their parents. Among them, those without professional skills will naturally have no advantage in the courseof job hunting, thus continuing living on their parents.

    Chinese parents should pay more attention to help children build up their independent personality, rather than merely feeding them to maintain a good physical health, said educators. Enditem
