By 2020, there will be about 38 million to 40 million too few college and university graduates to satisfy the demands of the global labor market, a report issued this month has found. At the same time, there will be a surplus of up to 95 million low-skill workers globally, according to the study, conducted by the McKinsey Global Institute. The report bases its estimates on the projection of a global work force of 3.5 billion by the year 2020, compared with 2.9 billion today. “Unemployment for less skilled workers is currently running two to three times that of those skilled workers with university or post-graduate degrees,” said Richard Dobbs, one of the authors of the report. China will have to increase its educated work force in order to fulfill its need for 23 million high-skill workers by 2020, the report said. Despite the old stereotype about arts majors, Americans and Canadians with arts degrees are by and large employed and happy with their work, according to a new report released last week by the Strategic National Arts Alumni Project at Indiana University. The report, titled “A Diverse Palette,” considered degrees in performance, design, architecture, creative writing, music composition, choreography, film, illustration and fine art. It found that 87 percent of arts alumni who are working are content with their jobs, whether or not they work as artists, and that 82 percent of respondents felt they brought creativity to their jobs. The specific discipline played an important role in employability, the study suggested. For example, 82 percent of those with a dance degree said they had worked or were working as an artist. That was only true of 30 percent with art history degrees. Many arts graduates became involved in education: 57 percent of arts graduates have taught at some point in their career, and 27 percent are doing so currently, the report found.

本月公布的最新報告顯示，到2020年，高校畢業生的數量將無法滿足就業市場的需求。屆時，全球高校畢業生的缺口將達3800萬到4000萬。 由麥肯錫全球研究所最新發布的這份報告同時指出，全球低技能工人屆時將過剩9500萬人。 預計到2020年，全球勞動力將達到35億，目前這一數字為29億。該報告的預測正是基于這一組數據對比得出的。 該報告的作者之一理查德-多布茲說：“目前低技能工人的失業率是高校畢業生出身的技術員工的2到3倍。” 報告指出，中國必須增加受過教育的勞動力人數。到2020年，中國對此類勞動力的需要量將達到2300萬。 根據印第安納大學國家戰略藝術校友項目中心上周發布的最新報告，盡管人們對人文藝術類專業存在偏見，但美國和加拿大的人文藝術類畢業生基本全部就業，而且對工作很滿意。 這份報告名為《多樣的調色板》，談及表演、設計、建筑、創意寫作、作曲、舞蹈、電影、插圖、美術等專業。調查發現，不論是否成為了藝術家，87%的人文藝術類畢業生都對他們的工作很滿意。82%的人表示，工作中充滿創造性。 調查顯示，具體學科對就業非常重要。比如，82%有舞蹈學位的人表示他們曾經或者正在從事藝術工作。而在有藝術史學位的受訪者中這一數字僅有30%。很多人文藝術類畢業生從事教育工作：57%的人文藝術類畢業生曾從教，27%的畢業生目前正從事這一職業。 相關閱讀 （中國日報網英語點津 Julie 編輯：Helen） |
