Abstract

Since the 20th century, with the rapid development of Chinese society and the improvement of the country’s overall education level, the problem of over-education and knowledge-based unemployment has been widely discussed, but the causes and solutions of these problems are still insufficient. This paper analyzes the contradiction between over-education and knowledge unemployment in China from the perspective of employment difficulties and puts forward solutions. This paper analyzes the contradictions between knowledge and labor employment in China and the institutional defects of the labor market, which lead to this phenomenon. The article finds that the main causes of this situation are the Chinese traditional values, individuals’ vague definition of a good job, and some flaws in the labor market. Based on the above problems, this paper proposes the following suggestions: China should improve the quality of basic education and pay attention to the connection of education stages so that newly graduated job seekers can change their mentality and reduce the pressure on themselves. The government can also introduce some reasonable and relevant laws or regulations to promote the development of the job market.
