IDENTIFYING REGIONAL CHARACTERISTICS FOR PROMOTING LOCAL EMPLOYMENT TO UNIVERSITY STUDENTS

Abstract

Intensive population migration of the university graduates from countryside to city has been observed for a long time. Currently encouraging them to find the employment in the regions where the university is located is an important policy for local government as migration is a contributing factor of depopulation. To make the policy, it is necessary for the government to assess status quo of local employment of the students and identify the characteristics of the region. In this study, the method of assessment is developed using latent class analysis. Also we compare prospect and actual number of employment, the factors that affects the employment is specified. As the result, the strategy for each region is suggested empirically.
