Abstract

This paper provides an Analysis of the over-education of graduates in China . It first reviews some theoretical explanation about over-education, then proceeds to argue how over-education can form in the context of the industrial upgrading and labor market segmentation by using Beveridge Curve . The coexistence of a large number of job vacancies and unemployment is the result of both education deepening and job searching with mismatch. To establish the over-education more directly, a logical framework diagram has been constructed. The paper concludes with a brief discussion of policy measures for both individuals and the government.
