“…Scholars have also used various other models to prove that people with higher human capital have spent less time in finding jobs (Akram & Nymoen, 2006;Riddell & Song, 2011;Saito & Wu, 2016). Huang (2008) proposed an employability hypothesis based on human capital.…”

The employment problem of college graduates has evoked concern around the world, which is particularly prominent in China in recent years. At the same time, English language proficiency of Chinese college students has been emphasized within their university academic requirements as well as from prospective employers. The consequent market pressure on Chinese college students to obtain language qualifications has created an environment where not only the utility, but also the symbolic value of English proficiency has become essential. Human capital theory describes the complex connection between language proficiency and employment, as a foreign language skill, English is similar to other human capital and has the potential for economic value. From the theoretical perspective for relationship between English language proficiency and employment of college graduates based on human theory, recommendations are made for further both scholarly research and practitioner policies, namely: National College English Teaching Syllabus, Regulations for Full-time Undergraduate Bachelor's Degree-granting, and Regulations for the Graduation Project.

Various explanations of this non-linear behaviour have been offered in the literature.…”

The unemployment rate in Australia is modelled as an asymmetric and nonlinear function of aggregate demand, productivity, real interest rates, the replacement ratio, and the real exchange rate. If changes in unemployment are big, the management of of demand, real interest rates and the replacement ratio will be good policy instruments to start bringing it down. The model is developed by exploiting recent developments in automated model-selection procedures.
