The unemployment rate of college students in China has been concerned in recent years, especially under the influence of the epidemic, the unemployment risk has further increased.

The current employment situation of college students is really not optimistic, but we need to keep trying and exploring to create a good employment environment for college students and help more young people realize their self-worth and dreams. Details are as follows:

I. Actual situation of unemployment rate

1. According to the data of the National Bureau of Statistics, in the fourth quarter of 2022, the employment rate of the population aged 16-24 was 56.5%, while the employment rate of college graduates was 50.9%.

2. This means that the unemployment rate of college students in China is higher than that of ordinary young people, and the difference between them is obvious. Especially due to the economic recession caused by the epidemic, many industries are laying off employees, which makes the employment situation of college students more severe.

Second, the analysis of the causes of employment difficulties

1. Industry structure adjustment: With the development of emerging industries and the decline of traditional industries, it is difficult for some college students to find jobs that match their majors, which makes it more difficult to find jobs.

2. Lack of job-hunting ability: Many college students have many problems in job hunting, such as poor resumes, lack of practical work experience and insufficient interview ability, which make them at a disadvantage in job hunting.

3. Employers have high requirements: Nowadays, many employers have higher and higher requirements for the comprehensive quality of job seekers, and some college students may be lacking in this respect, making it difficult to get their favorite jobs.

Third, the solution

1. encourage entrepreneurship: the government encourages college students to start businesses and innovate, guides employment, and minimizes the administrative examination and approval and tax burden. This year, the state will launch a "start-up subsidy" policy for college graduates, and will also provide a series of support such as funds for entrepreneurs.

2. Improve employment skills: Before graduation, college students can increase their social experience by participating in social practice, scientific research projects and voluntary activities, and at the same time strive to improve their skills and quality and enhance their competitiveness in job hunting.

3. Improve the internship mechanism: both schools and enterprises can work together to improve the internship mechanism, so that students can get in touch with practical work at an early stage and broaden employment channels and information sources.

4. Adhere to policy support: relevant departments can continuously introduce relevant policies to solve the employment difficulties of college students, such as encouraging employers to recruit college students and promoting the "one household, one policy" for entrepreneurial graduates, so as to improve the employment situation of college graduates.
