As many as 49 graduates are applying for every job vacancy in the UK, according to a fresh report.
UK graduates are fighting harder for jobs than those in Australia or South Africa, said the study by the Association of Graduate Recruiters (AGR).
It also found there is an average of 20 vacancies per employer in this country , compared with 10 in Hong Kong, 13 in Australia, 24 in South African and 108 in the US.
The average UK graduate in work earns £25,000, lower than the US, Australia, Canada and Hong Kong.
The figures came in the AGR's first international graduate recruitment market report.
The Ingrada (International Network of Graduate Recruitment and Development Associations) Global Graduate survey is based on the results of surveys and market knowledge from six countries, covering offer acceptance, vacancy and application rates, graduate figures of hiring costs, acceptance and retention rates.
Carl Gilleard, chief executive of AGR, said: 'The political, economic and cultural environment in which organisations recruit and develop graduates is becoming increasingly global.
"We believe that the international partnerships we have forged through Ingrada will benefit our growing membership'.
