College graduates are an important group in the employment population, and their employment or not and employment quality are directly related to the vital interests of the people and the harmony and stability of society.
In order to protect people's livelihood, the employment of college students has always been the focus of government departments in China. The 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China and the government work report in 2020 put employment as a strategic work in the first place. The employment of college students is also the most important work in colleges and universities in recent years.
Affected by the persistent COVID-19 epidemic and the global economic downturn, the number of new jobs provided by the society is weak, and the domestic job market is limited, which cannot provide enough jobs for all people with employment needs.
According to the statistics of the Ministry of Education, the number of college graduates has been increasing year by year in recent years. In 2022, the number of college graduates exceeded100000 for the first time, reaching107600.
On the one hand, the employment situation is getting more and more difficult. On the other hand, more and more college students choose "slow employment", which makes the already difficult employment situation worse.
Data expansion:
The general concept of "slow employment" in foreign countries is Gap Year, which is a long-term (3-24 months) trip or other meaningful thing for young people in western countries to experience different lifestyles after leaving formal education. In China, different scholars have different views on "slow employment".
Wang Wei believes that "slow employment" belongs to a pending state after graduation, that is, "temporary non-employment". Graduates delay employment in the form of study tour, postgraduate entrance examination, public examination compilation and accompanying study.
Liu Yuwen believes that the external manifestation of "slow employment" is to slow down the pace of job hunting and delay the employment time, which is the so-called "slow employment group" or "undecided group". Sun Lei and others think that "slow employment" is mainly related to the quantity and quality of jobs provided by society.
