准确评估＂大学能否改变农村学生的命运＂需要对大学毕业生与青年农民工就业进行多方面的比较分析。从就业率与工资水平、工作时间、工作环境和职业发展前景四个方面的对比分析发现：尽管大学毕业生就业率略低于青年农民工,但是工资水平高于青年农民工,并且有机会进入主要劳动力市场和优势行业,职业发展前景更好,而青年农民工的工作时间更长,工作环境相对恶劣。总体上,大学毕业生就业质量仍然显著优于青年农民工,表明高等教育能够在一定程度上促进农村学生向上流动。因此,农村学生应着眼于长远收益,不要轻易放弃高等教育机会;努力提高大学毕业生就业质量和高等教育收益率;加强青年农民工技能培训和继续教育。

英文摘要：

In order to accurately assess the proposition ＂Whether higher education can change the fate of the peasant stratum＂, we need to compare and analyzethe employment between graduates and young migrant workers from the perspectives of employment rate, wage, work timework environment, and career prospect.The results show as follows： though the employment rate of graduates is slightly lower than that of young migrant workers, they have higher wages and bigger chances to enter into major labor market and advantageous industries, so they have better career prospect, while the work time of young migrant workers is longer, and the work environment is much worse. Generally speaking, the employment of graduates is much better than that of young migrant workers, which shows that higher education can to some extent promote the upward social mobility of the peasant stratum. Therefore, the peasant stratum should attach importance to long-term benefits, don＇ t rashly give up higher education opportunities; efforts should be taken to improve the employment of graduates and the rate of return to higher education, and to strengthenskills training and continuing education of young migrant workers.
