This study explores the problem in calculating the employment rate of university graduates generated from the difference in departmental composition while the employment rate has gaps among departments in the real world situation, and presents a compensating plan for calculating university graduates’ employment rate by using the university employment index by major.
The results indicate that current employment rate and compensated employment rate are highly correlated. There is no essential difference between the two indicators. However, despite the very high overall similarity, some universities, the employment rate ranking could be changed. In case of universities which are specialized by specific major, especially for small-size universities, are more affected by characteristics of the labor market. By compensating the employment rate of university graduates through reflecting special features by majoring school, the disadvantages on evaluation of the universities, which try to specialize into the areas with disbenefit for employment, can be resolved and a smooth proceeding of specialization policy in the future is expected.
