Has the situation changed since then for teenagers in the countryside?

Yes, it has changed a lot since then.

As my country implemented a socialist system, private enterprises were not allowed, and farmers didn’t have city 户口(hùkǒu), they couldn’t work in state owned enterprises; therefore, if they didn't do well at school, they could only be farmers.

Now, the situation is very different.

Teenagers are able to go to college, no matter where they are from, because our government has no longer assigned jobs for college students since 1997.

Also, there are many private enterprises, and running business is allowed as well, so teenagers are able to go to universities, work in private enterprises or run business.

If university students want to work in the government, they have to pass the civil service examination.

I did some reading about the hùkǒu system and I couldn't think of or find a direct translation so I think what you wrote is fine.

Now, the situation is very different.

Teenagers are able to go to college, no matter where they are from, because our government has no longern't assigned jobs for college students since 1997.

I completely understood your original sentence. I only changed it slightly to sound a little more natural.
