With the end of the Spring Festival holiday, the annual wave of returning to work is coming as scheduled. However, this year's wave of return-to-work seems to be somewhat different from previous years, with many migrant workers choosing to stay in their hometowns rather than return to the cities to work as early as in previous years. This phenomenon has drawn attention to the issue of migrant workers returning to the city, and it has also made us think about the reasons and effects behind it.
Migrant workers are the product of China's unique urban-rural dual system, which refers to laborers who work in cities but do not have urban hukou. Migrant workers have long been an important force in urban development, undertaking labor-intensive work in areas such as urban infrastructure, industrial manufacturing, and services.
After the Spring Festival holiday, a large number of migrant workers leave their hometowns to work in the city, a phenomenon known as the "return to work". In the past few decades, with the acceleration of urbanization and the development of urban economy, the wave of returning to work has been a hot topic of social concern. However, in recent years, with the adjustment of the economic structure and the changes in the needs of migrant workers themselves, more and more migrant workers choose to stay at home after the New Year, which has brought a certain impact on urban economic development and social stability.
In recent years, with the adjustment of economic structure and the advancement of industrial upgrading, some traditional labor-intensive industries have gradually lost their advantages, resulting in the unstable employment of some migrant workers. At the same time, the rising cost of living in cities, such as the increase in rent, food, transportation and other expenses, has also brought greater economic pressure to migrant workers. Some migrant workers are worried that they will not be able to find a suitable job or face a loss of income when they return to the city, so they choose to stay at home.
Migrant workers leave their hometowns and come to cities to work, often for the sake of their families' livelihoods. However, the long-term separation has also created a certain emotional rift between family members. With the development of social economy and the change of people's ideology, more and more migrant workers have begun to attach importance to family life and family relationships. They want to be by their families, take care of their families, watch their children grow up, and enjoy family fun. As a result, some migrant workers choose to stay at home after the year to make up for the lack of family affection caused by long periods of absence from home in the past.
Migrant workers are an important force in urban economic development, and they take on a large number of basic jobs and positions with low skill requirements. If more and more migrant workers choose to stay at home, it will cause labor shortages in the city's construction, manufacturing and service industries, thus affecting the normal development of the city's economy. Migrant workers are in a disadvantaged position in urban areas, and they face problems such as employment discrimination and insufficient protection of their rights and interests. If migrant workers are unable to obtain stable jobs and incomes in the city, it will increase social instability, such as illegal crimes, crimes, etc., which will have a certain impact on social harmony and stability.
* Support for employment services for migrant workers should be increased, and an employment service system should be established and improved. By providing vocational training, employment guidance, job information and other services, we will improve the employability and employment stability of migrant workers. At the same time, enterprises are encouraged to provide more jobs and career development opportunities to promote the stable employment of migrant workers in cities. **The social security system for migrant workers should be improved and the social security participation rate of migrant workers should be increased. The basic rights and interests of migrant workers are protected through the establishment and improvement of work-related injury insurance, medical insurance, pension insurance and other systems. At the same time, the extent of legal aid for migrant workers has been increased to protect their legitimate rights and interests from being infringed upon.
* It is necessary to actively promote the process of urbanization of migrant workers, and gradually solve the problems faced by migrant workers in urban areas such as identity, children's education, and housing security. Through the improvement of the household registration system, housing policy, education policy and other measures, we will provide more citizen treatment and public services for migrant workers, and promote the integrated development of migrant workers and cities. All sectors of society should increase their support and care for migrant families, and pay attention to the difficulties and needs of migrant families. By providing family education, psychological counseling, community care and other services, we help migrant families solve practical difficulties and alleviate the negative impact of problems such as lack of family affection.
In short, migrant workers are an important force for urban development and an important cornerstone of social stability. ** and all sectors of society should work together to solve the problems and difficulties faced by migrant workers. Only in this way can social justice and harmonious development be truly achieved. As for how the future will evolve and how society will respond to the challenges and opportunities presented by this issue, it is worth keeping an eye on.
