"What is the reason for this unprecedented employment problem for college students?" The person asked was a reporter from CCTV.

Obviously, this is also the common confusion in the hearts of everyone here. Could it be that it is because the family planning policy seems to have succeeded but actually failed?

Fan Wubing needs to see this issue clearly, so his conclusion was carefully recorded by reporters.

"First of all, the short-term impact of the expansion of enrollment. China has taken just four years to make the enrollment rate of young colleges and universities of appropriate age reach 15/8 of the original 2008. This is a great feat in the education industry and has great significance for the improvement of the overall quality of China's human resources." Fan Wubing said sarcastically, "But while the enrollment rate increases, the cultivation and structural adjustment of China's employment market are not synchronized, and the growth of employment positions cannot keep up with the growth of enrollment rate in colleges and universities, which has caused the structural contradiction of oversupply of the employment market for college students not only did not improve in the short term, but was further amplified, objectively causing the employment problem of the first peak graduation year."

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

The SRAS epidemic that has been raging across the country for several months has had a direct impact on graduate employment.

Generally speaking, April and May are the peak period for college graduates to sign jobs, and this period is exactly the worst time of the epidemic. Starting from April, in areas with concentrated colleges and universities such as Beijing and Shanghai, large-scale supply and demand meetings have been cancelled one after another. Most employers have temporarily canceled their recruitment plans, reduced employment information, and graduates have generated ants on hot pots.

There is also the inconsistency between the education and the employment market. In recent years, the number of college graduates has continued to grow, but the effective demand for talents has grown slowly or even. The main reason is that the discipline structure and training model of higher education are not reasonable. For example, last year, more than 60% of the vacancies in Guangzhou were concentrated in twelve professional departments such as computers, English, and accounting, while talents such as construction, 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 career. The hard household registration system is still a pain for many graduates this year. When they are ready to leave school and go to the social stage with longing, many people personally feel that it is so difficult to cross the thin paper of the household registration." Fan Wubing said.

The experience of not having a household registration in this city has made more than half of the interviewees physically and mentally exhausted. Especially for girls, household registration not only has a great impact on them in terms of employment, but also in terms of marriage and childbirth. Many major graduates complain that because they do not have a household registration in this city, they missed many good job opportunities, so they had to find another way out.

The fierce competition for employment has also made many young graduates feel the ubiquitousness of social relations. When answering which of the more important impact of ability or relationship on employment, more than half of the students will choose the latter. They have no chance of having a job they like because they have nothing to do with.

As for the current salary benefits of college graduates, the expectations are twice as different from the actual situation. Many companies believe that graduates have high salary requirements and are unrealistic. Using this money, you can recruit experienced people, while students believe that their salary requirements are appropriate and consistent with their education 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 number below 1,000 yuan, but more than half of the junior college graduates believe that their salary should be between 2,000 and 4,000 yuan.

In addition, the expected salary of master's students seems to be too high. Most employers set the monthly salary of master's students below 3,000 yuan, but almost no students agree with this. More than half of the master's students propose that the ideal salary is above 5,000 yuan, but less than one-tenth of the units willing to pay this price.

In order to solve the employment problem, more than half of college students expressed their willingness to give up their majors, and one-third of college students also expressed their willingness to develop in small and medium-sized cities or western regions.

The number of people who choose to study abroad is increasing steadily, while the number of people who take the postgraduate entrance examination is still increasing significantly. The number of people who take the postgraduate entrance examination has increased sharply within one or two years after graduation. Those who choose to continue their studies after studying for a postgraduate entrance examination account for more than half of the total number of people who take the postgraduate entrance examination. Law, MBA, MPA, etc. have become hot majors for continuing their studies.

Faced with the reality of difficulty in employment, one-third of college students are still ready to choose to start their own business or work freely, but more people have reservations or objections to this. They said that although it is a good thing to start your own business, it is not a slogan. It requires sufficient ability, hard work and financial support. Even if these conditions are met, it may not necessarily be 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.

"This is hard to say - it is probably 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, and then he said, "The current difficulty in employment is not a bad thing. From another perspective, it is a good thing. Just like the SARS crisis that broke out not long ago, people discovered problems in China's medical system. The difficulty in employment for college students will also prompt people to discover the connection between China's education system and the employment market, which will give warnings to relevant departments and find a way to solve the problem. Of course, every progress of the social system always requires sacrifice of the interests of some people, which is inevitable."

Fan Wubing said this is also well-founded. According to estimates, China's GDP will double in 2010 compared with 2000. In the next five to ten years, the GDP of the national economy will maintain a growth rate of at least 7% each year. For every percentage point increase, eighty to one million jobs will be provided.

In addition, joining the WTO and implementing the Western Development Strategy will bring more employment opportunities. As an elite member of the 1.3 billion population, college students still have huge potential employment space.

"Why do the prides of heaven become a burden on social employment? Are there still some deep-seated factors?" Zi Qi suddenly asked.

"Now all colleges in China are eager to become universities, and all universities want to become first-class comprehensive universities. All students are required to become comprehensive talents as soon as they enter the school gate. This not only causes many young people with different tacts to lose the joy of growth, but also leads to the so-called waste of diplomas. Overall, this is a guided question." Fan Wubing replied.

Some problems are not easy to say, especially in front of CCTV reporters, Fan Wubing is not good to openly criticize the government's work ideas. Although he has always done this, in some formal occasions, it is necessary to be cautious in words and actions, otherwise the impact will be bad.

In fact, the government is also anxious, and the employment issues of college students have never attracted the attention of senior officials as they are today.

A few days ago, Fan Heng, member of the Standing Committee of the Politburo and Executive Vice Premier of the State Council, emphasized at the video conference on employment for graduates held by the State Council that it is necessary to ensure employment for graduates. Previously, relevant departments of the State Council also issued 11 special measures to promote employment for college students.

However, the results are very little. After all, now is an era of two-way market choices. The government's governmental orientation cannot make bosses pay attention to anything unless it can bring them real benefits economically.

More than one million energetic college students were coldly treated by the talent market as soon as they graduated and were trapped in a situation of stealing their heads for their jobs. In China, which has been troubled by the lack of talents for many years, this fact does seem a bit dazzling.

"Does there really be more Chinese college students? Have the former prides really become the employment burden of society?" Fan Wubing asked back, and then said with a smile, "Of course not. It should be that there is something wrong with the education itself. Even if it is put on me, I like to recruit some experienced employees, rather than first-time friends who just leave the university who can't stand anything. Since it's the same price, of course, there must be a reasonable choice. This is an era of utilitarianism."

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

According to official media reports, the public security organs will recruit 10,000 police officers from the junior high school entrance examination for fresh undergraduate and above in colleges and universities this year to make up for the shortage of police force and lack of professional talents in grassroots public security organs.

The targets for recruiting police this time will mainly focus on undergraduate graduates in majors such as law, information and communication, transportation engineering, physics, and chemistry. In addition, the public security department also stated that professional talents such as finance, computers, and forensics are also urgently needed by them, and they even consider that they can absorb a small number of excellent college graduates.

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

The fact is that the Chinese police force was mainly composed of graduates from police schools in the past, and some local police force even mainly had junior and senior high school education, and the cultural level was generally low, which became the fundamental reason why the overall quality of the police force was difficult to improve.

As early as a few years ago, some people called on the public security department to fundamentally change its image and that college students must account for a sufficient proportion. However, in order to save funds, some local police agencies would even rather recruit security personnel with a lower level of education to replace regular police posts, rather than open the door to college students.

On the other hand, college students who had no worries about not being able to find a job before were reluctant to join the police force.

How much remains in China's administrative and social system? The problem is self-evident. Talent hunger in many departments is covered by various tangible and intangible barriers.

All departments are facing functional changes, and management methods and methods of providing social public services will become increasingly modern, and a large number of college students from various majors are urgently needed. At the same time, college students have also found that today's police personnel are not just as simple as providing transportation and public security management services.

"In fact, we also understand that the supplementary sources of central enterprises or some government departments are often accomplished through the substitution of their children, or some cross-resettlement, and ordinary people do not have that kind of opportunity at all." A reporter said bluntly, "For example, education families, police families, military families, etc. are actually a resource monopoly of small departments, not something worth promoting, but not many people are aware of this or are willing to publicly propose this."

In fact, by the end of the year, the number of students in various higher education in China had reached 16 million. Judging from the absolute number of students in school, China has surpassed the United States for the first time and became the country with the largest scale of higher education in the world.

Compared with China, it took the United States twenty-seven years to reach nearly 15 million people. In other words, the expansion of China's higher education scale took only four years to go through the 27-year journey of the United States, which is a feat.

But the employment crisis four years later led some people to publicly criticize the Great Leap Forward in higher education.

Although the employment impact brought by the SARS epidemic on China is significant, compared with millions of migrant workers and urban laid-off workers who have also lost their jobs, the employment attention and policy support that college students enjoy can be regarded as super-national treatment in a sense. The Ministry of Finance issued a notice that fresh college students who engage in self-employed this year can be exempted from administrative and institutional fees within one year.

The Ministry of Labor and Social Security has also jointly launched a training project for this year's higher vocational graduates, with the service targets being poor families and rural graduates who have not yet found a job. Some local governments have also proposed measures to implement the principle of matching or proximity of poor college students and conduct directive planning and distribution.

"It cannot be said that the industrialization of education is the source of all evil. If the entire country can provide enough employment opportunities, then even if you spend a little more money when you go to school, you can recover the cost, at least to let everyone have a meal. This is not a problem." Fan Wubing said, "But the reality now is that you don't have that big pot, but you have to open such a big canteen and send out advertisements to attract diners. Isn't that openly harming people? You must know that nothing can be decided by patting your butt. Major issues related to national economy and people's livelihood are even more unlikely to change with the leaders' personal thoughts."
