Abstract: Abstract Scholars believe that both over-education and knowledge unemployment will produce unfavorable effects on economic growth, but most of them ignore that the interaction of over-education and knowledge education will also imperil economic growth. The over-education and knowledge unemployment coexist and interweave with each other at present in China, which have produced an adverse impact on labor productivity and economic growth. In order to promote economic growth and eliminate the coexistence of over-education and knowledge unemployment, it is necessary to deepen education reform, improve education system, and at the same time introduce relevant policies and measures, such as to speed up the development of service industry in order to avoid over-education and knowledge unemployment worsen.
