abstract: 'In the last two decades, we have witnessed a rapid expansion of higher
education in Mainland China and Taiwan, recording a significant increase
in higher education enrolments in these two Chinese societies. The
massification of higher education in China and Taiwan has inevitably
resulted in an oversupply of university graduates, with growing social
concerns for skills mismatches being found in the labour market,
stagnant graduate employment and social mobility. This article
critically examines how university students and graduates in these two
Chinese societies reflect upon their employment experiences. Human
capital theory predicts that other things being equal, raising
participation in higher education will initially increase inequality as
rates of return rise, and then it will reduce inequality as expansion
reaches mass levels and rates of return decline. If the output of
graduates outpaces the demand for their skills, which appears to be the
current case in many countries, then supply and demand pressures reduce
the pay premium for degrees and lower income inequalities. However, this
study clearly demonstrates that the massification and the
universalisation of higher education in Mainland China and Taiwan,
respectively, have actually intensified inequality.'
