Educational distribution of mainland delivery workers
In July 2020, Meituan (a mainland retail and delivery platform) released the “Rider Employment Report for the First Half of 2020”, which states that more than 50% of delivery workers earn more than RMB 4,000 (yuan, same below) per month, and 7.7% of riders earn more than 7.7% of riders earn more than 10,000 RMB per month.
What’s more surprising is that 24.7% of the riders have a university degree or higher, up from 15% in 2018. In addition, according to the data chart published by Meituan in 2018, about 1% of Meituan’s delivery workers have a master’s degree or higher, and there are 7 million delivery workers on the mainland, so it is estimated that there are about 70,000 people with a master’s degree or higher.
In ancient times, a student who studied hard for 10 years could get a secure job, but in modern times, an average mainland university student needs to study for more than 10 years, and a master’s degree requires almost 20 years of study, but can one find a good job after studying for a master’s degree? From the 2018 Meituan published data chart on the Education of delivery workers, there are now about 70,000 delivery workers with a master’s degree or higher on the mainland.

Job market promotion no door income meager
As for why people with a master’s degree or higher should abandon their academic advantages and join the camp of delivery workers?” The answer is because they “need the most direct economic income”, according to the “class teacher and his students”, the social devaluation of education is becoming more and more serious, these people with a master’s degree or higher in the workplace has not been able to keep up with the speed of education devaluation, they find that after getting a master’s degree, there is no way to get promoted in the workplace, the economic income is meager, and the age of more than twenty years old, it is the need for the most direct economic income When, therefore, see the delivery industry can earn fast money, free Time, and do a good job income is not low, they will simply join the delivery army.
The industry inside the volume of job seekers no advantage
As for why the education will depreciate, the industry “in-volume” (a popular term on the mainland, referring to the social or cultural level, to a certain degree, then stagnant situation) is the main reason, “the class teacher and his students” analysis of the phenomenon of high education in the workplace in-volume, in the past a college student will be able to fill the position, when the job vacancy of the competitors appear in the master’s degree, college students will lose the advantage, and When more than 80% of the competitors have a master’s degree, it is very difficult for college students to find the job, even if the job only requires a university degree is enough. And because of the internal volume, job seekers can only desperately accumulate their own advantages, but when a group of people have the same educational advantages, education will be devalued, is a kind of vicious competition is difficult for everyone to escape.
