Abstract

The labor market is one of the most important production factor markets. Based on the existence of the household registration system, the nature of the enterprise, applicability of policy and so on, China's labor market presents the significant section or duality. This is reflected in the market of college graduates and causes the contradiction of hard employment and talent shortage. Using job search, college graduates are easy to find the primary market positions by minimum reservation wages. However, because of systems’ limits, they are difficult to enter and stay in the secondary market. Because the expected utility EU2 moves in the opposite direction with job search costs C, once search costs are higher, then which makes the employment lower than expected demand, it leads graduates not willing to enter the secondary labor market. The key to solute the contradiction lies in three changes: changing the dual labor market, reforming the education system in colleges and universities and changing the concepts of job search.
