Students Start To Improve Employment In The Context Of The Financial Crisis

Since China's higher educational marketization reform in 1999, the number of enrollment and graduates in Chinese universities and colleges increases sharply. In contrast, the increase of the number of job opportunities cannot catch up with the growth of the number of graduates. As a result, recently, the employment of graduates has become harder and harder, and become the key work of the government and all universities and colleges. Especially under the background of the global financial crisis resulted from sub-prime loans crisis in USA, the trend of Chinese economy's rapid growth was seriously challenged. An army of enterprises (especially small and medium exportation enterprises located in the coastal area) went bankrupt even close down one after another, yielding to the loss of employment positions and the rise of the rate of unemployment. Not surprisingly, the employment problem of graduates got worse and became the first thing for Chinese government to involve in recent financial crisis.The report of the 17th National Congress of the CPC put forward the strategy of "entrepreneurship impel employment", aiming to resolve the employment problem of graduates. To encourage graduates to do pioneering work, not only can resolve the employment of graduates themselves, but also can create many employment opportunities and then resolve others' employment. Accordingly, in the context of current financial crisis, this strategy has gotten strong support from government at all levels, universities and colleges, and society. Governments and universities and colleges put forward various preferential policies and supporting measures to support and encourage graduates'entrepreneurship. As a result, it is very important and meaningful to thoroughly analyze related problems of "entrepreneurship impel employment" in the context of current financial crisis.Based on prior theoretical research on entrepreneurship and employments of graduates, this thesis firstly introduces the present status of graduates'employment in China, and thoroughly analyzes the underlying cause of graduates'hard employment. Second, this thesis focuses on the feasibility of "entrepreneurship impel employment" for graduates, and the opportunity and challenge of current financial crisis to graduates'entrepreneurship. Finally, with fully affirmative of the feasibility of "entrepreneurship impel employment" for graduates, this thesis further suggest that governments and universities and colleges should provide various safeguard mechanisms from four specific areas as follows:preferential policies for carve-out, carve-out education, financial support for carve-out, and carve-out incubation. Then they can create a dense atmosphere of graduates'entrepreneurship, foster graduates' carve-out consciousness, improve graduates'carve-out ability, and thus accomplish the strategy of "entrepreneurship impel employment" and truly resolve graduates'employment problem. Finally, this thesis thoroughly analyzes the concrete practice of the strategy of "entrepreneurship impel employment" in Xi'an and point out its experience and lessons, in order to guide related practice better in the future.
