On the other hand, a lot of university graduates in disadvantaged group families are caught in the problems of difficulty in employment.So affording a child to college may plunge the whole family into poverty.The main reason of this problem is the responsibility of the government’s lacking.This paper is based on three theories, which are human capital theory, the cost divided theory of higher education and responsible government theory. This paper uses three methods, including literature search, Comparison Analysis and empirical analysis. Through those theories and methods, the paper tries to help governmnet to explore new measures to solve this problem.There are two main innovation of this article.

Because of the author’s research capabilities limited, the paper’s length limited and the writing time limited, the paper uses the literature, lacks of first-hand information. And the paper lacks of knowledge in depth and breadth, so the author should conatinue to improve the research in the future.The first chapter is introduction.
