The opportunity trap is the social congestion in the competition for jobs when the number of applicants outstrips the demand for a particular group of workers – in particular, graduate school degree-holding applicants. It is distinct from an opportunity gap, which is a lack of equal opportunity. An example of fields where the number of applicants far outstrips the available opportunities includes humanities professors. Large numbers of graduate students complete PhD programs in English literature, history and music history, but there are only a handful of openings for professor positions. The PhD graduates who cannot find professor positions may experience underemployment, such as working at a job which does not require their education.

  • اصطياد الفرصة هو التزاحم الاجتماعي في منافسة على الوظائف حينما يكون عدد المُتقدمين يفوق الحاجة لمجموعة مُعيَّنة من العمال، وخصوصًا حاملي شهادة التخرج من المُتقدمين وهو يختلف عن فجوة الفرصة والتي تعني عدم تكافؤ الفرص. مثال على المجالات التي يتعدى فها عدد المُتقدمين علي الفرص المُتاحة هو أساتذة العلوم الإنسانية، عدد كبير من الخريجين يُتمُّون برامج الدكتوراة في الأدب الإنجليزي والتاريخ وتاريخ الموسيقى ولكن هناك عدد مناصب قليل مُتاح للأساتذة. إن حاملي الدكتوراة الذين لا يجدون مناصبهم كأساتذة يعانون البطالة الجزئية، مثل العمل في وظائف لا تحتاج تعلُّمهم (كالعمل لدى ستاربكس).

  • The opportunity trap is the social congestion in the competition for jobs when the number of applicants outstrips the demand for a particular group of workers – in particular, graduate school degree-holding applicants. It is distinct from an opportunity gap, which is a lack of equal opportunity. An example of fields where the number of applicants far outstrips the available opportunities includes humanities professors. Large numbers of graduate students complete PhD programs in English literature, history and music history, but there are only a handful of openings for professor positions. The PhD graduates who cannot find professor positions may experience underemployment, such as working at a job which does not require their education. Many commentators, including human capital theorists and proponents of positional consensus theory, assert that there is a tightening relationship between education, jobs and rewards, and that in general, the more qualifications you have, the more employable you are. These ideas have informed policies to widen access to educational opportunities with the goal of promoting equality and maximising efficiency according to meritocratic ideals. However, it can be argued that this perspective fails to take into account the positional nature of qualifications – that is, an individual’s chances of getting a certain job are dependent both on their own skills and qualifications, and the skills and qualifications of the other applicants and on the number of other qualified applicants. Qualifications have both an absolute and a relative value – which diminishes the more people hold them. For example, in a society where 50% of the working population hold university degrees, they will be less valuable than in a society where only 5% hold them. (en)
