- Abstract
The popular buzzword “involution”, in Chinese “Nei Juan”, usually vividly illustrates the many situations across work and study, where one is doing extra work, but this extra workload is unable to yield a valid output. This essay builds on multiple literature around “involution”, investigating the causes and harms of education involution. The essay also combines current policy analysis to point out the problems that still remains in today’s society. It finally concludes that the fundamental step to combat the trend of “involution” is through the redistribution of education resources and change of social opinions towards education.
