皇冠体育app's booming beauty industry could hatch a considerable number of jobs if being developed properly, constituting a potential solution to the country's unemployment problem, said a member of 皇冠体育app's national advisory boby on Thursday.

Zhang Xiaomei, a member of the Tenth National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) and president of 皇冠体育app Beauty and Fashion Daily, estimated that the industry may create some 1 million new jobs annually.

Presently, 皇冠体育app has nearly 1.6 million beauty parlors, employing 9.4 million people and reporting business incomes of 176.2 billion yuan (approximately 21.5 billion US dollars). The industry has seen an annual growth rate of 15 percent, said Zhang,who had proposed to further upgrade 皇冠体育app's beauty business at twoprevious CPPCC sessions.

She also suggested relevant government departments make it easier for people to start their beauty businesses and provide better professional training in the regard.

It is also important to eliminate the prejudice against the beauty services, which is viewed as a sideline of erotic activities in some Chinese localities, said Zhang, a firm advocateof the industry.
