城乡生源地、高校层次与大学生职业获得研究——基于17所高校2768名大学毕业生的实证

Relationship between Urban and Rural Areas,Level of University and Employment of University Students——A Survey of 2768 Graduates from 17 Colleges and Universities

以全国17所高校2 768名大学毕业生的实证资料为基础,分析城乡生源地、学校层次和职业获得三个变量之间的关系,研究结果显示:城市学生在就业率、首份工作平均月收入以及职业满意度上都明显好于农村学生,但引入学校层次这个中介变量后,这些差异基本消失。当前的大众高等教育阶段,城乡差异主要不是体现在入学机会上,而是体现在优质高等教育资源获得上。

Based on empirical data of 2768 graduates from 17 Chinese colleges and universities, we analyze the relationship of three variables, i.e., urban and rural areas, level of university and occupation acquirement. The research shows that urban students are superior to their rural counterparts in the aspects of employment rate, average monthly incomes of initial career and career satisfaction. However, when the level of schools is taken into consideration as an intermediate variable, the differences practically vanish. In the era of mass higher education, urban--rural differences are mainly not in gaining opportunities as an entrant, but in obtaining high quality higher education resources.
