The data shows that since 2000, the number of applicants for the national civil service examination has increased year by year, exceeding 6.5438+0.3 million in 2065.438+0, and has remained at around 6.5438+0.3 million since then. Analysts pointed out that "all civil servants must take the exam" has become a "hard lever". Through open recruitment, on the one hand, it is conducive to improving the quality of civil servants and selecting outstanding talents; On the other hand, there has also been a phenomenon that thousands of troops compete for the "single-plank bridge".
The civil servant exam fever has its inherent inevitable factors. It is an objective reflection of the current social background and an inevitable trend of the reform of the civil service selection system in state organs. From another perspective, it is also a collective irrational phenomenon under the new system and new situation, which reflects a common social mentality at present.
On the surface, this is caused by the great pressure of employment. On the other hand, it is also because the civil service examination threshold is low, and most college students meet the requirements for entering the examination, which makes the examination more "civilian". Compared with the treatment and job security after admission, the cost investment is a "good investment" with high income, low threshold and zero risk.
From the perspective of institutional arrangements, it is easier for us to understand the deep-seated reasons behind the public examination fever and the "sea election fever". Behind all kinds of personal choices, it is not blind, but more reflects an endogenous behavior under the system. Therefore, the deep-seated reason of the phenomenon of civil servant fever lies in the institutional arrangement first. Whether the institutional arrangement of a society encourages the creation or distribution of social wealth will have different effects on social and economic development. With the improvement of the market system, the competition among enterprises is becoming more and more fierce, and entrepreneurial activities or joining enterprises become more rational. In contrast, the work of the organs has more advantages.
As a college student with high investment in human capital, it is really worrying to put a lot of energy into the civil service examination. If social wealth is likened to a cake, these outstanding talents mean to divide the cake instead of making it bigger, and the final result can only be that the cake that can be divided is getting smaller and smaller. The future economic development of China needs the development of the real economy to support it.
Therefore, the state should increase investment in economic system innovation, lower the threshold of entrepreneurship, create a good investment environment, withdraw from areas where the market should play a fundamental role in allocation, reduce the possible rent-seeking space of the government, and standardize the remuneration income of indirect production departments.
