I think it happened in time before, but when you have a lot of young people doing nothing like this, you better control them to avoid a general backlash/revolution. Being China, enrolling them in their army and invading a country/going to war, will keep them busy. It's unfortunate, but it's CCP.

“Chinese authorities temporarily suspended the release of monthly figures after youth unemployment hit an all-time high of 21.3% in June last year. Since then, new standards have been applied and announced from this year excluding enrolled students from the statistical target.”
If that trick doesn’t work, you could narrow it down even more to make the numbers prettier. Maybe you could exclude the people who have a degree in a specific field.
