Recently, there has been news circulating on the Internet that the state has issued a "work stoppage order" to restrict farmers over the age of 60 from going out to work. For a time, this news aroused the attention and worry of the majority of peasant friends. So, what's the truth?
First of all, we need to make it clear that the state has indeed introduced policies to restrict the recruitment of workers, the most obvious of which is the construction industry. From the perspective of production safety, the state prohibits the recruitment of migrant workers over the age of 60. According to national statistics, older villagers account for a large proportion of accidents in the construction industry, and most of these accidents are caused by a lack of attention to safety measures. Therefore, in order to ensure the safety of migrant workers, the state has introduced such a policy.
However, this does not mean that the state has completely restricted farmers over the age of 60 from going out to work. The state only prohibits the recruitment of migrant workers over the age of 60 for some industries with greater safety risks, such as the construction industry. For other industries, the state has not made restrictions.
So, what other employment options are available for farmers over the age of 60?First of all, they can choose to engage in agricultural production in the countryside and give full play to their experience. Secondly, they can try some low-risk jobs such as janitory, janitorial, etc. In addition, the state has also launched a series of support policies to help farmers start businesses and develop characteristic agriculture.
In short, the purpose of the "work stoppage order" issued by the state is not to restrict farmers over the age of 60 from going out to work, but to ensure their safety. For farmers, as long as they choose the right employment direction according to their own conditions, they can still achieve a stable income and life.
