Abstract

The employment of college graduates remains a pressing issue globally, with various policies being implemented to enhance employment outcomes. This study investigates the effectiveness of these policies using a Dynamic Panel Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA) based on a configuration perspective. This paper used a qualitative approach and the data gather by using purposive sampling. By analyzing data from Yibin over a decade, we identify the key policy configurations that significantly promote employ-ment among college graduates. This paper findings provide actionable in-sights for policymakers and educational institutions aiming to optimize em-ployment strategies.
