In the past, most probably you can get a job if you have a degree certificate; nowadays, there are people saying that academic performance is not a matter anymore.

#Conflict of value crisis

For example, the core values of traditional values are collectivist values, while the society is an individual-centric value orientation. However, young people nowadays are more emphasis on the realization of their personal interest and additional external enjoyment. In the complicated environment where the pluralistic values coexist and conflict with each other, it is difficult for young people to choose and agree with a certain social value system based on their own experience and it may cause psychological pressure to them.

# Survival model for the suitable candidate

In the past, young people don’t have to change their survival model, they just have to follow the existing thinking and behavior without having to change. Now, it is more emphasis on the importance of the individual. For example, if you can think differently and have a greater mindset, you are more likely to be successful.

# Higher risk of unemployment
