Abstract:
In order to adjust the concerned policies for the college graduates, this study examines the individual characteristics, family characteristics and occupation characteristics that may influence the college graduates for the transition from university to work. The paper focuses on the such topics as the type of job, finding a job, first job pay, and choice for further education. The analysis was carried out with the data from a survey of 47 Chinese universities in 2009. The results show that the individual characteristics, occupation characterics and family characteristics have some advantages over the college graduates in the job market. So, the quality of higher education should be improved.
