Abstract:

This paper invested efforts in studying the influence of "delayed employment" on graduates' person-job matching and employment stability. Such a choice does prolong their jobs and constitutes an essential part of them to "stay at" their posts, and found the outcomes. Further mechanism analysis suggested that “delayed employment" shines on equipping graduates with a better understanding of themselves and their occupation, improving demand-supply matching, and lowering the active turnover rate of graduates. In addition, it strengthens their transfer-ability to serve the requirement-ability matching, thereby cutting down the passive turnover rate. Moreover, it also works in promoting the matching of values between graduates and enterprises, enhancing the aforementioned two matching and the effect of “stable" employment. Finally, based on the empirical conclusions, this paper puts forward relevant policy recommendations.
