More than 2400 million, and the average number of years of education of the new labor force has reached 14 years (**Premier Li Qiang, 2023).
The highly educated population in this article includes college, undergraduate, and graduate students with a university education. There are three levels of university qualifications in China: junior college, bachelor's degree and postgraduate degree. Among them, the postgraduate degree is subdivided into master's degree and doctoral degree.
It should be noted thatIn China, a doctoral degree is the highest academic qualification;A postdoc is not a degree, it is just a work experience. Generally speaking, undergraduate students will normally graduate with a bachelor's degree, master's students will normally graduate with a master's degree, and doctoral students will receive a doctorate at the time of graduation.
The data in this paper is the sample data of the 2022 National Population Change Sampling Survey, with a sampling ratio of 1023‰。The highly educated population in this article refers to the population with a university degree. The proportion of people with a college degree in this paper is calculated using the following formula: proportion of people with a college degree = the number of people with a college degree in the population aged 6 and over The number of people aged 6 and over in the population. Similarly, the proportion of people with a college degree = the number of people with a college degree in the population aged 6 and above The number of people aged 6 and above;Proportion of people with a bachelor's degree = the number of people with a bachelor's degree in the population aged 6 and above The number of people aged 6 and above;Proportion of people with a graduate degree = the number of people with a graduate degree in the population aged 6 and above The number of people aged 6 and above.
This article attempts to answer the following questions: Which provinces in Chinese mainland have a higher proportion of highly educated people in 2022?Lower?What is the spatial distribution?Data**: China Statistical Yearbook-2023. Study area: Chinese mainland. It should be pointed out that: (1) The data in this paper are the sample data of the 2022 National Population Change Sampling Survey in the China Statistical Yearbook-2023, with a sampling ratio of 1023‰；(2) This paper is purely a product of the application of spatial statistical technology, which is not authoritative and is for reference only. Don't over-interpret.
Figure 1 showsIn 2022, the proportion of people with university education in 31 provinces in Chinese mainland is in the first place: Beijing, Tianjin and Shanghai. In 2022, the provinces with a high proportion of university degree population in 31 provinces in Chinese mainland are mainly concentrated in:
1) The province where the Yellow River is located and the vast area north of it;
2) Coastal provinces. Note that a high percentage of people with a college degree does not mean that the population with a college degree is large.
For example, if the population aged 6 and over in province A is 20 million and the population with a university degree is 8 million, the proportion of people with a university degree in province A is 40% (8 million 20 million);The population aged 6 and above in province B is 80 million, and the number of people with a university degree is 25 million, so the proportion of people with a university degree in province B is 3125% (25 million, 80 million). Although the proportion of people with university degree in province A is higher than that in province B, the size of the population with university degree in province B is significantly larger than that in province A.
Figure 2 showsIn 2022, the proportion of postgraduates in 31 provinces in Chinese mainland is in the first place: Beijing and Shanghai. The proportion of people with postgraduate education is in the second level: Jilin Province, Liaoning Province, Jiangsu Province, Zhejiang Province, Guangdong Province, Hubei Province, Shaanxi Province and Gansu Province.
Figure 3 shows that in 2022, the proportion of people with bachelor's degree in 31 provinces in Chinese mainland is in the first place: Beijing, Tianjin and Shanghai.
Figure 4 shows, (1).In 2022, the proportion of people with college degree in 31 provinces in Chinese mainland is in the first level: Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai and Chongqing;(2) The proportion of people with college degree is relatively high in the central and southern regions (Henan Province, Hubei Province, Hunan Province, Guangdong Province, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, Hainan Province) and East China (Shanghai, Jiangsu Province, Zhejiang Province, Anhui Province, Fujian Province, Jiangxi Province, and Shandong Province).
