2. Employment prospects of mathematics majors: Relevant analysis data show that in a long period of time in the future, although the overall situation of market employment in China presents a "demand-side market" with fierce competition, the employment demand is still different according to the types of schools and majors. On the one hand, some technical majors are popular, on the other hand, basic majors, such as Chinese, mathematics and applied mathematics, are relatively scarce.
According to the forecast of the Ministry of Education, in the next five years, the gap of senior high school teachers in China will reach 1. 1.6 million, among which the demand for teachers in basic disciplines such as mathematics and Chinese is the greatest. There is even a shortage of math teachers in many cities and counties in Guangdong Province.
The statistical analysis of the talent market in 37 large and medium-sized cities in China shows that math teachers are very popular. According to Education Digest Weekly, there will be 48,890 graduates in Beijing, among which mathematics and applied mathematics are among the top ten majors with the largest number of graduates. Shaanxi, as the bridgehead of China's western development, will have an increasing market demand for mathematics professionals.
