Abstract: Migrating rationally between regions is conducive to job match for college graduates. Taking Guangxi as an example, this paper empirically examines whether the migration of college graduates from less developed regions (LDR) can promote job match based on the “survey data on employment status half a year after graduation of 2020 college graduates in Guangxi”. The findings are as follows: (1) On the whole, leaving the province where the university is located is not conducive to the job match of college graduates in LDR, and this conclusion is very robust; (2) compared with long-distance migration, near-distance migration has a weaker inhibitory effect on the job match of college graduates in LDR; (3) only migration to specific regions can significantly promote the job match of college graduates in LDR, and this positive effect is limited to major-job match, excluding education-job match. Accordingly, this paper puts forward two enlightenments for regional talent policy and college graduates’ employment policy.
Key words: college graduates; job match; migration out of province; less developed regions; college student employment
