The starting salary of college students and peasant workers is only 300 yuan

Experts recommend the inclusion of pre-school and high school education in the National People's Congress, CAI, director of the Institute of Population and Labor economics at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said that at present, the wage gap between Chinese university graduates and migrant workers is gradually narrowing.　　Although he stressed that the rate of change in salary after a few years of college graduates was much higher than that of migrant workers, it could still create a negative incentive effect. Cai gave several sets of data, data from 2003, 2005 and 2008 showed that the average starting salary of university graduates remained at around 1500 yuan per month, but the monthly wages of migrant workers jumped from around 700 yuan to about 1200 yuan in recent years.　　He worries that this phenomenon can cause negative incentives-reading is useless. The attraction of high school education will be reduced CAI said that as the number of years of schooling increased, the probability of finding matching jobs in the labour market was smaller, and "it was harder to find a doctor's job," but the migrant workers did all they had to do.　　In this case, the starting salary of university graduates is very low, and at the same time, because of shortage of labor, farmers pay more water, which leads to the convergence between the starting salary of university graduates and the peasant's working water. This situation will affect the attractiveness of high school education. He therefore suggested that pre-school and high school education should be included in compulsory schooling. Beijing News)
