在如今这样一个全球化的时代，社会生活的各个方面都在经历着经济全球化带来的机遇与挑战。作为一个正在经历快速转型的发展中国家，中国经济与高等教育的发展都是在全球化的语境下进行的。本论文从劳动力市场的视角对经济全球化进程中我国高等教育结构的发展变化进行了探讨，主要研究了以下三个问题：一是分析了经济全球化对我国高等教育影响的表现形式；二是对加入世界贸易组织以来我国高等教育结构的变化、劳动力市场对高级人才需求变化进行了梳理；三是分析了高等教育人才培养与劳动力市场人才需求之间的矛盾及其原因，提出高等教育结构调整的建议。通过理论分析和文本研究，本文得出了以下几点主要结论：第一，经济全球化通过《服务贸易总协定》中关于教育贸易的条款对我国高等教育提出直接挑战，通过对我国经济结构、产业结构变革的影响对我国高等教育产生了间接的要求；培养出外语水平高、专业知识丰富、实践能力强、具有强烈创新精神和创新意识的高级专门人才，成为我国加入WTO后劳动力市场向高等教育提出的挑战和要求。第二，加入WTO十年以来，我国高等教育在科类结构和层次结构上呈现出不同的变化。我国高等教育科类结构整体上并未发生显著变化，学科构成和比例关系与加入WTO之前未有明显区别；某些理论性较强的基础学科和以工学为主的理科占高等教育科类结构的比例出现了下降趋势；部分能较快转化为生产力的应用学科和某些应用文科的规模则在比例上出现了上升的趋势。我国高等教育的层次结构发生了显著的变化，主要表现为专科层次在整个高等教育层次结构中的比例明显提高；工学、经济学、农学和管理学等应用学科中，专科教育的地位逐渐加强；哲学、历史学、理学等基础学科则是由本科教育占据主导地位。第三，高校培养的人才结构与劳动力市场需求结构的矛盾明显。在科类结构上，一些传统的理论学科，如文、史、哲等学科专业人才供给相对过剩，就业比较困难；应用学科，尤其是适应经济社会发展所急需的金融、财会、市场营销、计算机、电子工程、机械等高科技相关专业人才仍然比较走俏。在层次结构上，虽然劳动力市场对高级技能人才的需求旺盛，但由于专科学校培养的学生专业技能和动手能力不适应劳动力市场的需要，专科毕业生的市场认可度很低；本科人才中理论型、学科型人才供给相对过剩，应用型和创新型尖端人才供给相对不足。针对我国高校人才培养与劳动力市场之间存在的脱节，本论文提出以下几点改革建议：要构建更为科学合理的高等教育结构体系，需要化被动为主动，积极适应劳动力市场需求；改计划管理为宏观调控，构建高等教育结构调整的自动机制；大力发展应用型学科和新兴专业，培养适应性强的复合型人才；巩固本科教育的主体地位，同时重视专科教育的发展。

In the global times, our society is experiencing opportunities and challenges brought by economic globalization. As a fast changing developing country, Chinese economy and Chinese higher education develop in the globalization context.This thesis explores Chinese higher education structure in the process of economic globalization from the perspective of labor market. It specially focuses on the following three questions: First, it analyzes the manifestations of influences of economic globalization on Chinese higher education; Second, it analyzes the changes of Chinese higher education structure and the changes of Chinese labor market; Finally, it analyzes the contradictions between higher education and labor market, and then makes some suggestion on how to modulate Chinese higher education structure. After theoretical analysis and textual research, several conclusions have been drawn in this thesis. First, economic globalization influences Chinese higher education directly through education trade terms in General Agreement on Trade in Services and indirectly through the changes in Chinese economic structure and Chinese industrial structure; after China’s access to WTO, the labor market requires high-level expertise with skilled English、professional knowledge、strong sense of creativity and innovation which is an new challenge to Chinese higher education.Second, the Level Structure and Field Structure of Chinese higher education present different characteristic since China’s access to WTO. There’s no significant change occur on the field structure for the proportion of Subjects almost as the same as ten years ago; the proportion of some theoretical foundation subjects and some engineering science declines; the proportion of applications subjects which can translate into productivity quickly and some Applied Arts rises. The level structure of Chinese higher education has undergone significant changes. The proportion of college-level significantly improved; the status of college education in applied sciences such as engineering、economics、agriculture and management are strengthening; the undergraduate education plays a dominate role in philosophy、history、science and other basic subjects.Third, the contradictions between talents training of higher education and the need of the labor market are obvious. In the field structure, the supply of professionals in some traditional academic disciplines excess the need, such as literature、history、philosophy. So the employment of these subjects are more difficult. Applied sciences, especially economic and social development urgently needed subjects such as financial、accounting、marketing、computer、electronic engineering、machinery and other high-tech professionals are still popular in the labor market. In the level structure, although advanced skilled talents are in great demand, college graduates are in low approval percentages due to their professional skills and practical ability cannot meet the need of the labor market. The supply of undergraduates in the theory-based, discipline-based subjects is relative excess; the supply of applied cutting-edge talent and innovative is insufficient.Aiming at the contradiction between talents training of higher education institutions and the labor market, some advice is put forward in this thesis. First of all, we need turn passive to active, drawing a scientific and rational higher education structure to adapt to the new situation actively; Second, develop applied subjects and developing specialty, educating adaptable and compound context talents; Third, consolidate the dominant position of undergraduate education, emphasizing on the development of college education in the meanwhile.
