Impact of Macro Government Policies to the Unemployment Problem of Chinese College Students

Abstract

As a key indicator affecting macroeconomic development, the employment level has long been a major focus for numerous scholars. Due to the influence of multiple factors, the employment rate of college students has declined drastically, with most facing the dilemma of "graduating unemployed". Against this backdrop, this paper takes the current employment status of Chinese college students as a practical foundation, primarily exploring how fiscal policies, monetary policies, and supply-side macroeconomic policies impact their employment situation, while proposing specific recommendations based on existing effects. The findings indicate that the impact of the epidemic, the rise of artificial intelligence, and college students' tendency to seek employment within institutional frameworks are the primary causes of rising unemployment. The rational implementation of relevant macroeconomic policies, to a certain degree, helps boost employment. Finally, the paper offers corresponding policy suggestions from the policy, university, and individual perspectives. The conclusions of this study can serve as a practical basis for addressing the employment challenges of contemporary college students.
