Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the correlation between graduate students' source information and their destinations as well as the potential influencing factors, and to provide a reference for employment guidance for graduate students.Methods:A total of 9 599 entries of 2019-2023 graduate students' source information and destinations were exported from the Chongqing smart employment platform for college graduates. With the use of SPSS software, we performed chi-square tests for contingency tables, and further confirmed the detected statistically significant factors through multinomial logistic regression analysis.Results:There were significant differences in the destinations of graduate students of different ages, training types, and source origins (all P<0.001). Students from the western region accounted for 80.82%(7 758/9 599) of the whole population, indicating that the western region was the major student source of the university. The destinations of the graduate students were concentrated in the western region [82.32% (7 902/9 599)], radiating to the eastern region [10.77% (1 034/9 599)] and central region [6.02% (578/9 599)]. According to the multinomial logistic regression analysis, compared with the students aged 21-25 years, the likelihoods of those aged 26-30 years choosing the central region and the eastern region as their destinations were 0.631 times and 0.813 times, respectively; and the likelihood of the students aged 31-35 years choosing the eastern region was 0.633 times. Professional graduate students were 0.678, 0.806, 0.257, and 0.447 times as likely as academic graduate students to choose the central region, the eastern region, the northeastern region, and Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, and other regions, respectively. Conclusions:The destinations of graduate students differ regionally by source origin and age bracket. Compared with academic graduate students, professional graduate students have greater regional mobility.
