　　在台灣，自九年國民義務教育辦理之後，配合國家經濟發展，促成經濟奇蹟。直至四一?教改，促成廣開高中大學。然而，在高等教育普及，幾乎每個考生都可以上大學之際，我國青年失業現狀卻似乎與高等教育的極度發展產生極大對比。因此，本研究將探討在我國產業界變遷及相應的工作機會增縮實況中，青年所面對的就業結構與失業困境；其次，本研究期瞭解高等教育不平衡的科系擴張發展之下，讓青年學生並非面對可供「自由選擇」的高等教育機會，而是「被迫一定要選」的上大學氛圍，所加劇的高學歷世代的青年貧窮現象；再次，本研究將聚焦在近年大幅擴增的民生部門服務產業相關科系（如餐飲與旅宿），所對應到的「學用相符」工作機會，常引導其畢業生至低薪工作市場的結果。本研究期以教育公平的觀點，檢視高等教育人才培育過程的過程公平，與從學校到職場的高等教育結果公平的結果。本研究之具體研究目的為：1. 瞭解全球青貧時代中高等教育所扮演的角色；2. 探究我國高等教育不平衡擴張的發展與議題；3. 檢視我國餐飲旅宿高教科系的課程規劃實況；4. 分析我國餐飲旅宿高教科系畢業生的就業現狀；5. 提供我國未來高等教育發展因應青年貧窮議題之策略與建議。

　　Since Four One Zero educational reform in 1994, MOE corresponded to the public’s request and released the regulations for accessing higher education system in Taiwan. Twenty years later, there is no doubt that nearly everyone at their college age can go to colleges in Taiwan. However, the public starts to question the value of higher education degree, which won’t bring college graduates to get a decent in Taiwan. This research focuses on the equity issue during the process of receiving higher education and also on the result if college graduates from certain fields, i.e. culinary and hospitality departments in this case, end up finding low-wage jobs. The research purposes of this research include: 1. To understand the roles of higher education in the age of global youth poverty; 2. To inquire the uneven expansion of higher education in Taiwan; 3. To examine the reality of program design at higher education in Taiwan; 4. To analyze the employment condition of college graduates from certain departments; 5. To provide further suggestions for the government and higher education institutions to correspond and to improve the youth poverty issue.
