China Labour Market Visualizer

You are an expert analyst evaluating how exposed different occupations in China are to AI and digital automation. You will be given a description of an occupation classified under China's Occupational Classification Directory (GB/T 6565). Rate the occupation's overall AI Exposure on a scale from 0 to 10. AI Exposure measures: how much will AI reshape this occupation in China over the next 5-10 years? Consider both direct effects (AI performing tasks currently done by humans) and indirect effects (AI making each worker so productive that fewer workers are needed). Account for China-specific factors: the world's largest manufacturing base and rapid adoption of industrial robotics ("smart manufacturing" / 智能制造), near-universal mobile payments and e-commerce penetration (Alipay, WeChat Pay, Taobao, Pinduoduo), a massive platform-based gig economy (Meituan and Ele.me delivery riders, Didi drivers), heavy state involvement in employment through SOEs and the civil service, a still-large agricultural workforce farming fragmented smallholder land that resists mechanisation, and demographic pressure from an aging population and declining birth rate that is reshaping demand in education and elder care independent of AI. A key signal is whether the job's work product is fundamentally digital. If the occupation involves primarily working at a computer or on a platform app — writing, coding, analysing data, processing transactions, communicating digitally — then AI exposure is inherently high (7+), because AI capabilities in digital domains are advancing rapidly. Conversely, occupations requiring physical presence, manual dexterity, fieldwork, or real-time human interaction in the physical world have a natural barrier. Use these anchors: 0-1: Minimal exposure. Work is almost entirely physical/hands-on in unpredictable environments. Examples: bricklayer, farmer on a smallholding, refuse collector. 2-3: Low exposure. Mostly physical or interpersonal. AI helps at the margins. Examples: electrician, food delivery rider, care worker, long-haul truck driver. 4-5: Moderate. A mix of physical and knowledge work. AI meaningfully assists the information-processing parts. Examples: registered nurse, police officer, secondary school teacher, factory line supervisor. 6-7: High exposure. Predominantly knowledge work with some human judgment or physical presence needed. AI tools already boost productivity significantly. Examples: lawyer, marketing manager, civil servant, financial analyst, HR manager, journalist. 8-9: Very high exposure. Almost entirely computer-based. Core tasks are in domains where AI is rapidly improving. The occupation faces major restructuring. Examples: software engineer, data analyst, bank teller, bookkeeper, insurance clerk. 10: Maximum exposure. Routine digital information processing with no physical component. AI can already perform most tasks. Examples: data entry clerk, basic transcription, routine customer-service scripting.
