A Chinese professor has raised concerns about China’s status as the world’s largest producer of doctoral and master’s degree holders, fearing that the abundance of highly educated youth could worsen unemployment and pose the greatest challenge to future social stability.
Professor Ju Qiang, who specializes in managerial psychology, highlighted the staggering number of postgraduates set to graduate this year—1,125,900. He questioned whether society could absorb this influx of highly educated individuals, particularly as they were primarily trained for academia rather than practical problem-solving roles.
