Abstract

Post-college unemployment has become a serious social problem in China. The current study draws data from the randomized samples from census data starting from 1999 to 2017. The relationship between research areas and labor market outcomes is examined. Universities have expanded their enrollment numbers, but the pathways to expansion and experienced structural changes vary greatly. We use nationally published data sets from 1999 to 2017 to investigate the medium and long run impacts that expansion policy has on unemployment of Universities graduates and College graduates (UGCG). The approach of Multivariate Time Series Analysis (MTSA) was employed to investigate the long term results associated with China’s higher education expansion policy on UGCG.
