From 2001 to 2020,China's technological development,industrial structure,and market demand have been constantly changing,and doctoral education urgently needs to build a more reasonable disciplinary structure to promote economic development and social progress.By analyzing the characteristics of the changes in the discipline structure of doctoral education in China from 2001 to 2020,it was found that the adjustment of the discipline structure of doctoral education in China failed to accurately match the changes in the labor mar-ket,slightly lagging behind the speed of technological development,and did not resonate with the changes in industrial structure.Therefore,China needs to establish a complete market supervision and feedback mecha-nism,dynamically adjust the discipline structure according to market demand,further optimize the discipline structure,vigorously develop emerging disciplines and interdisciplinary disciplines,and give colleges and uni-versities greater autonomy in discipline adjustment.
