MAN SLEEPS UNDER HIGHWAY IN DOWNTOWN BEIJING

An elderly homeless man, avoiding the midday sun, sleeps under a highway in Beijing, China on July 08, 2007. China will be unable this year to create jobs for 15 million people -- nearly equivalent to the entire population of the Netherlands. An estimated 25 million urban residents will be seeking jobs and they will be competing for just 10 million vacancies, the China Daily said, citing a government think tank researcher.
