Abstract

The major unemployment theories in the West include the voluntary unemployment theory of the classical school, the involuntary unemployment theory of the Keynesian school, and the unemployment theory of the neoclassical synthesis school. At present, our college students are hard to find jobs, mainly due to the ineffective bridge between the labor market and the education system, as well as social welfare and urban-rural differences. Currently, the difficult employment for university students in the short-term is aligned with China's economic development phase. According to Western unemployment theories, some inspirations for helping university graduates' employment are obtained: setting majors and courses reasonably, increasing rural investment, attaching importance to the role of the government in labor and employment and the significance of human capital investment. We hope that with the supporting materials in this paper, students can apply suitable professional courses according to reasonable time arrangements during their college life, and make different types of career planning in different grades. We will respond actively to the Party Central Committee's call to alleviate poverty targeted by making the rural investment the key task, while intensifying the government's macro-control to link the employment of students with local employment. We will set up an employment consulting office, in order to increase steadily the employment rate by assorting positions and majors properly, and planning scientifically employment positions.
