ABSTRACT

College students returning to their hometowns for employment can effectively fill the talent gap in rural economic development. In the context of the rural revitalization strategy, Shaanxi college students, as an important force of talent, returning to their hometowns for employment not only helps alleviate urban employment pressure, but also brings new technologies and concepts to rural areas, promoting rural economic and social development. This article is based on a survey of 505 college students from Shaanxi province who returned to their hometowns for employment to support rural revitalization. It was found that there is a gap between cognition and action in the employment of college students returning to their hometowns, an imbalance caused by gender differences, insufficient policy promotion and practical support, and constraints in rural environment and conditions. These have become the "last mile" problems affecting rural college students' entrepreneurship in their hometowns. We should provide assistance in strengthening precise propaganda, enhancing practical support, paying attention to gender differences, and improving rural environments to jointly promote Shaanxi college students to better serve the local rural revitalization cause.
