Neijuan (Chinese: 内卷; pinyin: nèijuǎn; lit. 'to roll inwards' IPA: [nei̯˥˩tɕɥɛn˩˧]) is an English loanword of the Chinese word for involution. Neijuan is made of two characters which mean "inside" and "rolling".[1]Neijuan has disseminated to nearly all walks of life in mainland China in the recent few years, due to the uneven distribution of social, economic, and educational resources and ongoing economic malaise, especially in terms of higher education bodies and labour markets. Neijuan reflects a life of being overworked, stressed, anxious and feeling trapped, a lifestyle where many face the negative effects of living a very competitive life for nothing.[1]
