摘　　要：In this article, we use an analysis of incomes of university graduates to examine the impact of changes in science studies curricula on the cultivation of human capabilities and on worker labor market competitiveness. In addition, we compare three separate generations to analyze the impact brought about by changes in curriculum guidelines. One result derived from this analysis is the tendency for science and mathematics to become weaker subjects for each succeeding generation, in line with the more relaxed curricula studied. Also, in confirming that physics study has contributed to an increase in income, our research suggests that this is an important factor in the cultivation of earning capacity in every generation.
