Chapter 1220 Deep-Seated Problems

"What is the reason for the unprecedented employment problem for college students... The person who was angry was a reporter from CCTV.

Obviously, this is also the common confusion in the hearts of everyone present. Is it because the one-child policy seems to be successful, but in fact it has failed?

Fan Wubing has a clearer view on this issue, so his conclusion was carefully recorded by reporters.

"First, it is the short-term impact of the expansion of enrollment. In just four years, China has increased the college enrollment rate of young people of school age to 15/8, which was originally planned to be achieved in 2008. This is a great feat in the education sector and has great significance for the improvement of the overall quality of Chinese human resources." Fan Wubing said sarcastically. "But while the enrollment rate is growing, the cultivation and structural adjustment of China's employment market are not synchronized. The growth of employment positions cannot keep up with the growth of college enrollment rates, so that the structural contradiction of oversupply in the college employment market has not only not improved in the short term. Instead, it has been further magnified, objectively leading to the employment problem in the first peak year of graduation."

"The second is the direct impact of the increase. "Fan Wubing continued.

The double fatigue that has been raging across the country for several months has had a direct impact on the employment of graduates.

Generally speaking, April and May are the peak periods for college graduates to find jobs and sign contracts, and this period is exactly when the unemployment is the most serious. Since April, large-scale supply and demand meetings have been cancelled in Beijing, Shanghai and other college-concentrated areas. Most employers have also temporarily cancelled their recruitment plans, and the number of employment information has decreased, and graduates have become ants on the hot pot.

There is also a lack of coordination between education and the employment market. In recent years, the number of college graduates has continued to grow. However, the effective demand for talents has grown slowly or remained flat. The main reason is that the discipline structure and training model of higher education are not entirely reasonable. For example, more than 60% of job vacancies in Guangzhou last year were concentrated in twelve professional departments such as computer, English, and accounting, while talents in architecture, economic management, and marketing have been saturated.

"The barriers caused by social and relationship factors are also very serious. Some institutional and non-institutional social relationship factors have become stumbling blocks that many college students cannot avoid when choosing a job. The rigid household registration system is still a pain in the heart of many graduates this year. When they were ready to leave school and rush to the social stage with full of longing, many people felt it firsthand. It was so difficult to get through the thin paper of the household registration. "Fan Wubing said.

The experience of not being able to talk to those who are not registered in this city made more than half of the interviewees feel exhausted physically and mentally, especially for girls. The household registration has a great impact on them not only in employment issues, but also in marriage and childbirth.

Many graduates of different majors complained that they missed many good job opportunities because they did not have a household registration in this city, so they had to find another way out.

The fierce competition for employment also made many young graduates feel that social relationships are everywhere.

When answering which is more important for employment, ability or relationship, more than half of the students from the Lianhe School would choose the latter. They are related to their favorite The reason why I can't get a job is because I don't have connections.

As for the current salary of college graduates, the difference between expectation and reality is double. Many companies think that the salary requirements of graduates are too high and unrealistic. They can use this money to recruit an experienced person. However, students think that their salary requirements are appropriate and consistent with their academic qualifications and abilities.

For example, in Guangdong, two-thirds of employers believe that the reasonable salary of junior college students is 1,000 to 2,000 yuan per month, and one-third of the units set this figure below 1,000 yuan. However, more than half of junior college graduates think that their salary should be between 2,000 and 4,000 yuan. 1,000 yuan.

In addition, the expected salary of master students also seems to be generally too high. Most employers set the monthly salary of master students at less than 3,000 yuan, but almost no students agree with this. More than half of the master students proposed an ideal salary of more than 5,000 yuan, but less than one-tenth of the units were willing to pay this price.

In order to solve the employment problem, more than half of the college students said they were willing to give up their majors. One-third of the college students also said they were willing to go to small and medium-sized cities or western regions for development.

The number of people choosing to study abroad is rising steadily, the number of people taking the postgraduate entrance examination is still increasing significantly, and the number of people taking the postgraduate entrance examination within one or two years after graduation is sharply decreasing. The number of students who choose to continue their studies after graduate school accounts for more than half of the total number of students who take the postgraduate entrance examination. Law and science have become popular majors for further studies.

Faced with the reality of employment difficulties, one-third of college students are still ready to choose to start their own business or become a freelancer, but more people have reservations or objections to this. They said that although self-employment is a good thing, it is not a slogan. It requires sufficient ability, practical spirit and financial support. Even if these conditions are met, not everyone can become Bill Gates and Jobs in their twenties or thirties.

"According to Mr. Fan's estimate, how long will the current employment difficulties last?" A reporter asked Fan Wubing.

"It's hard to say. It may be difficult to solve in the short term. However, with the acceleration of the marketization process, as long as the expectations are not too high, there are many ways to support yourself." Fan Wubing said. Then he said, "The current employment difficulties are not a bad thing. From another perspective, it is a good thing. Just like the Canadian crisis that broke out not long ago, it made people realize the problems in China's medical system. The employment difficulties of college students will also prompt people to realize the problems of the connection between China's education system and the employment market, and will warn the relevant departments to find a way to solve the problem. Of course, every progress of the social system always sacrifices the interests of some people. This is inevitable."

Fan Wubing's words are also based on facts. According to estimates, China's GDP will double by 2017. In the next five to ten years, the GDP of the national economy must maintain an annual growth rate of at least 7%, and every increase of one percentage point will provide 800,000 to 1 million jobs.

In addition, the implementation of the policy of joining the Western Development Strategy and the Western Development Strategy will bring more employment opportunities. As the elite among the 1.3 billion people, college students still have huge potential employment space. "Why do the chosen ones become a burden on social employment? Are there some deep-seated factors?" Zhang Nen suddenly asked.

"Now all colleges in China are eager to become universities, and all universities are eager to become first-class comprehensive universities. All students are required to become comprehensive talents as soon as they enter the school gate. Young people with different physiques and different interests have lost the joy of growing up, which also leads to the phenomenon of waste. Generally speaking, this is a problem of orientation." Fan Wubing replied.

Some problems are not easy to say. Especially in front of CCTV reporters, Fan Wubing can't openly criticize the government's work ideas. Although he usually does this, it is still necessary to be cautious in some formal occasions, otherwise it will have a bad impact.

In fact, the government is also anxious. The employment problem of college students has never attracted the attention of the top leaders like today.

A few days ago, Fan Heng, member of the Political Bureau Standing Committee and Executive Vice Premier of the State Council, emphasized at the video and telephone conference on graduate employment held by the State Council that it is necessary to do a good job in graduate employment security. Previously, the relevant departments of the State Council also issued 11 measures to promote the employment of college students.

However, the results were minimal. After all, this is an era of two-way market selection. The government's policy orientation cannot make bosses pay attention to anything unless they can bring them real economic benefits.

More than one million vigorous college students are coldly received by the talent market as soon as they graduate and fall into a situation of scrambling for jobs. In China, which has been troubled by the lack of talent for many years, this fact does seem a bit dazzling.

"Are there really too many college students in China? Have the former prides really become a burden on the employment of society?" Fan Wubing asked back. Then he smiled and said, "Of course not, it should be the education itself that has a problem. Even if it is me, I like to recruit some experienced employees, not the new guys who just graduated from college and can't stand everything. Since it is the same price, of course there should be a reasonable choice. This is an era of utilitarianism."

In fact, the domestic demand for talent is still very eager.

According to official media reports, the public security organs will recruit 10,000 police officers from this year's college graduates to make up for the shortage of police force and lack of professional talents in grassroots public security organs.

The targets of this recruitment will mainly focus on undergraduate graduates in law, information and communication, traffic engineering, physics, chemistry and other majors. In addition, the public security department also stated that they are in urgent need of professionals in finance, computer science, forensics and other fields. They even consider absorbing a small number of outstanding college graduates.

In the face of unprecedented employment difficulties for college students, this move by the public security department is quite a timely help, and also shows the strong mobilization power of the action system.

The fact is that the composition of the Chinese police force used to be mainly composed of graduates from police schools, and some local police forces even mainly consisted of junior high school and high school education, and the cultural level was generally low. It has become the fundamental reason why the overall quality of the police force is difficult to improve. As early as a few years ago, some people called for the public security department to fundamentally change its image and to ensure that college students account for a sufficient proportion. However, in order to save money, some local police agencies would rather recruit security personnel with lower cultural levels to replace regular police positions, rather than actively open the door to college students.

On the other hand, college students who had no worries about finding jobs before are also reluctant to join the police force.

How much of this potential talent demand gap is there in China's administrative and social systems? The problem is self-evident. The talent hunger in many departments is covered by various visible and invisible barriers.

All departments are facing functional transformation. Management methods and ways of providing social public services will become increasingly modernized, and a large number of college students from various industries will be needed. At the same time. College students also found that today's police officers are by no means as simple as providing traffic and security management services.

"In fact, we also understand this situation. The supplementary sources of central enterprises or some government departments are often completed through the replacement of children, or through some cross-replacement. Ordinary people simply do not have that kind of opportunity." A reporter said bluntly He said bluntly, "For example, families with education, police, military, etc., are actually a small department's resource monopoly, not something worth promoting, but not many people are aware of this or are willing to do so. Make this public."

In fact, by the end of the year, the number of students enrolled in various higher education institutions in China has reached 16 million. Judging from the absolute number of enrolled students, China has surpassed the United States to become the country with the largest higher education in the world.

Compared with China, it took the United States twenty-seven years for the total size of higher education to reach nearly 15 million people. In other words, the expansion of China's higher education took only four years to complete the 27-year process in the United States, which is a feat.

But the subsequent employment crisis has led some people to openly criticize the Great Leap Forward in higher education.

Although the impact of the epidemic on China's employment is significant, compared to the millions of migrant workers and laid-off urban workers who have also lost their jobs, the employment attention and policy support enjoyed by college students is, in a sense, comparable to Calling it national treatment, the Ministry of Finance has issued a notice that fresh graduates who engage in self-employment this year will be exempted from paying administrative fees for one year.

The Ministry of Labor and Social Security has also jointly launched a training project for this year’s higher vocational graduates, targeting poor families and rural graduates who have not yet found jobs. Some local governments have also proposed the implementation of professional-matching or close-to-major training programs for poor college students. Principles, measures to carry out mandatory calculation and distribution.

"It cannot be said that the industrialization of education is the root of all evil. If the entire country can provide enough employment opportunities, then even if you spend a little more money on schooling, you can recover the cost. At least let everyone have something to eat. This It's not a problem." Fan Wubing said, "But the current situation is that if you don't have such a big pot, but you have to open such a big canteen, and you still have to advertise to attract diners, isn't that openly harmful to people? We know that nothing can be decided with a slap on the butt, and major issues related to the national economy and people’s livelihood cannot change with the leader’s personal ideas.”

After listening to Fan Wubing's words, everyone naturally understood what he was talking about. It is no secret that education policies change three times a day.
