What is the employment situation of returnees now? Can studying abroad really be gilded?

The report "20 17 Overseas Talents Employment Analysis Report" released recently pointed out that a large number of overseas students are about to return to China. It has become a trend for overseas students to return to China, and China will face a historical turning point that the number of overseas students will exceed that of overseas students. What does this report mean? Does the number of people returning home after studying abroad exceed the number of people studying abroad? Did the overseas students bring back the abducted wife, husband, children and parents-in-law? How does this affect the future employment of returned students?

According to the report, the number of people returning from studying in China this year is expected to exceed 600,000, which will obviously exceed the total number of people studying abroad this year. According to the report, 54.8% of returnees mainly value the development of the domestic economic situation, and more than 40% people think that their family and friends are in China, so they choose to return to China for development. Wang, director of China and Globalization Think Tank, said that the increase in the number of returned overseas students is mainly due to good job opportunities and international salaries.

Wang said: "The phenomenon of returnees returning from China is very rapid. At present, sales, marketing and R&D are the most popular jobs for returnees. In particular, they have received professional training abroad, and the need to integrate with domestic globalization has become the highlight of overseas returnees' employment. "

A wave of returning from studying abroad is taking shape. According to the data of the Ministry of Education, since 20 12, the ratio of the number of students studying abroad to the number of people returning home has dropped from 1.46 to 1 in 20 16, and the "deficit" between the number of students studying abroad and the number of people returning home has gradually narrowed. In addition, Kai Tak's Inventory Report of China's Study Abroad Market in 20 16 and Outlook Report in 20 17 predicted that the number of returned overseas students was greater than the inflection point of the number of overseas students, or it would appear within five years. 2 1 Xiong Bingqi, vice president of Century Education Research Institute, agrees. He said that in the next few years, the number of people studying abroad and returning from studying abroad is expected to turn from negative to positive, achieving a "surplus."

Xiong Bingqi said: "This is entirely possible in the next few years. A few years ago, the number of people going abroad in China was increasing by 20%. Around 20 12, the number of returnees returning to China has greatly increased. After graduation from 20 17, these people began to come back. We can see a remarkable fact that with the increase of the number of international students, the number of returnees will also increase accordingly. Starting from next year, the number of students returning from studying abroad may exceed the number of students studying in that year. "

Business with low threshold, eager to learn and good employment has become the mainstream professional choice for studying abroad.

In terms of studying abroad, the report pointed out that business, management and financial economics are still popular among returnees. According to the data of the Ministry of Education, in 20 15 years, 410.2% of international students planned to study business abroad, and the proportions of international students who chose engineering, science and social sciences were 16%, 13% and 7% respectively. Che Weimin, deputy director of the Study Abroad Service Center of the Ministry of Education, said that the main reasons for returnees to start businesses are job requirements and professional thresholds.

Che Weimin said: "The demand for social science and business administration is still relatively large. Its employment threshold or the threshold of studying this major is low, and its learning success rate is high. Many schools in China also have majors in business and humanities and social sciences. For international students returning to China, I am afraid they will face great employment pressure. "

It is still necessary to "practice mechanics" to rationally treat the upsurge of returning to China from overseas students to overseas students.

With the surge in the number of returned overseas students, the employment competition between returned overseas students and domestic university graduates will become more intense. However, according to "Blue Book of 20 16 Report on the Development of Studying Abroad in China", the employment problem of returnees has not increased significantly. 85.9% of returnees can find jobs within six months, and 68% can find jobs within three months.

We should also see that the report points out that with the tightening of immigration policies in the United States, Britain and Australia, it is difficult for international students to stay in their countries of study and continue their development after graduation; Students studying in the United States, Britain and Australia account for more than 56%, which is one of the reasons why overseas students return to China. Xiong Bingqi said that a rational view of the craze of returning to China after studying abroad should not only expand talents in quantity, but also introduce talents in quality. ?

Xiong Bingqi said: "It depends not only on the number of heads, but also on the structure. Think of it as "three-thirds". Maybe one-third of them are former elite students, a little more than one-third are middle-level students, and the other one-third are low-end students or rubbish students. According to this structure, it is difficult for the latter third to find a job abroad, so they have to return home. Most of the middle third went back to China. In front of the real elite studying abroad, there are still very few people returning to China. Authoritative surveys show that at this stage, the number of people returning from studying abroad only accounts for 10% to 20%, which is the core issue. "

In recent years, the excessive pursuit of quick success and instant benefit and the clustering of business have gradually changed the taste of studying abroad. Business students may not be able to become big entrepreneurs, but many of them graduated from West Point Military Academy and became the chairman. The motivation of studying abroad should not only be a stepping stone, but also have one's own ideals and pursuits.
