2024年，非洲大陆上的中国合同工人人数增至90,793人，比前一年增长约4%。大型中国支持的项目吸引工人前往几内亚和刚果民主共和国等国，而一些地区的政治不稳定仍使其他人望而却步。
根据约翰·霍普金斯大学高级国际研究学院的中国非洲研究中心（CARI）的数据，2024年非洲有90,793名中国工人参与合同项目和劳务服务，比2023年的87,078人增加了约4%。这一增长主要由中国国有企业推动的投资流加速所致，这些投资集中在大陆关键国家。
去年，近一半的中国工人集中在五个国家：几内亚（11,071人）、刚果民主共和国（9,694人）、埃及（8,170人）、安哥拉（7,444人）和尼日利亚（6,035人）。例如，几内亚的Simandou铁矿项目是吸引工人的主要驱动力，该项目属于“一带一路”倡议的一部分。
CARI强调，这些统计仅追踪正式国家合同下的工作人员，不包括更广泛的非正式移民，如贸易商和小店主。随着投资持续增加，工人数量在这些国家继续上升，但政治不稳定因素可能限制进一步扩张。北京的研究人员如凯·薛（Kai Xue）指出，这种趋势反映了中国与非洲经济联系的深化。

China's Ministry of State Security has warned university students to beware of high-paying job offers that may be traps set by foreign spies. The alert comes ahead of a record graduation season, with 12.7 million students entering a shaky job market. Such postings promise easy money but aim to recruit students for illegally gathering sensitive information, the ministry said.
