In the past, around the Spring Festival, the major stations were crowded with people, and migrant workers formed a large-scale "homecoming tide".
But in recent years, there has been a "weird" phenomenon: the "homecoming tide" seems to have disappeared
Analyzing this phenomenon from many aspects, people understand:
The weakening of the "homecoming wave" is inseparable from the following four reasons.
The first three reasons are all good things, but the last reason makes migrant workers sad and helpless!
The wave of homecoming is gradually weakening, and the most intuitive phenomenon is;
Many migrant workers no longer run from north to south, they choose to stabilize.
And there is often the same reason behind this phenomenon: that is, the implementation of policies to promote the employment of migrant workers.
In recent years, the state has been committed to helping migrant workers find better employment and even start businesses.
This kind of employment policy is closely related to the national urbanization strategy.
It is precisely because of such encouragement policies that many migrant workers choose to work locally.
Migrant workers can work safely and securely in the local area, so there is no need to go to other cities.
The number of migrant workers who have migrated abroad has decreased, and the wave of returning to their hometowns has naturally weakened.
Some peasant workers choose to work locally and do not go out, while some peasants choose to work outside the country and do not return to their hometowns.
In fact, both of these phenomena are inseparable from the guidance of policies.
At the end of September this year, there was a notice of the "urban heating migrant workers" service activity on the **.
The first part of this activity is to help migrant workers in urban areas enjoy employment services on an equal footing.
The notice stated that a special job fair would be held for the employment needs of migrant workers.
This measure can be seen that the current policy is very concerned about migrant workers.
It is precisely because of the increasing number of such policy measures that many migrant workers have stable jobs.
In addition to employment policies, there are other measures to enable migrant workers to live more securely.
The education conditions and medical care level in the cities are basically better than those in the rural areas.
As a result, many rural people want to put down roots in the cities.
And some of the most advanced policies have made the ideas of many migrant workers come true.
For example, some places have relaxed the conditions for settling down, so that people have a greater chance of settling in the city.
Improving social security can also motivate people to stay in the cities.
The various policies cover all aspects, and each one is a reason for migrant workers to stay.
At work, increasing labor protection can make migrant workers more willing to work in a down-to-earth manner.
For example, the implementation of the working hours system, the protection of leave rights and interests, and so on.
When the rights and interests of migrant workers are protected, they can stay at work safely and securely.
In terms of life, improving living conditions can give migrant workers a stronger sense of belonging.
Construction of affordable rental housing, active provision of staff apartments, and so on.
Each of these measures will enable people to better put themselves down roots in the city.
In terms of education, the education of the children of migrant workers also needs attention.
For many parents, children are their roots.
Measures such as simplifying the school enrollment certification materials for the children of migrants and optimizing the application process are very beneficial.
These measures will make it less troublesome for the children of migrant workers to attend school in the cities, and make it easier for them to settle in the cities.
In addition to targeted measures in various aspects such as work and life, there are also channels to help migrant workers in difficulty in some places.
It can be seen that many cities today are very welcoming to migrant workers.
Under the guidance of the policy, migrant workers have a stronger sense of belonging to the city, and the number of people returning to their hometowns has naturally decreased.
Returns used to be common, but now they are becoming less and less common, and this is also due to environmental reasons.
Cities are growing faster and faster, and this is obvious to all.
However, in recent years, the development of rural areas has also been extraordinarily rapid.
Many rural areas have already been transformed and upgraded.
Rural tourism, rural e-commerce, ......The development is very prosperous.
In addition, the income level of many towns and villages is not low, and migrant workers can choose to stay in their hometowns.
This situation will become more and more common as the coordinated development of urban and rural areas is promoted.
When the educational resources and medical resources in rural areas are improved, people no longer have to look far away.
It can be seen that there is still great potential for development in the rural areas at present.
The road to rural revitalization will go farther and farther, and the rural economy will get better and better.
Nowadays, China's economic structure is constantly developing and changing, and the central and western regions are gradually rising.
In this way, even if migrant workers go to the city, they do not have to go far to the coastal cities.
When they choose to work in cities close to home, it will also make the mass return to their homes less and less.
The environmental changes seen behind the wave of returnees are not only the economic environment.
China's technological environment has also changed significantly, whether it is the network or industry.
The rapid development of the digital era has led to the emergence of various new forms of Internet business.
The ** chat, which people once dared not think of, has long been accustomed to it.
Anytime, anywhere chat can effectively alleviate people's homesickness.
Thousands of miles away can also "communicate face-to-face", so people don't need to go back to their hometowns often.
Even if you want to go back to your hometown, the transportation conditions are very simple today.
In recent years, China's high-speed rail has developed rapidly, and the railroad track has already reached all cities.
With the construction of airports in some cities, it is more convenient for people to travel by plane.
Many people are homesick in the morning and can go home in the afternoon.
The popularization of transportation conditions makes it more convenient for people to go home, and truly "go back if you want to".
In this way, there is no need for everyone to crowd around the Spring Festival.
There are also people who buy a car with hard work and don't have to crowd the station with other people at all.
These "car owners" even want to go home when they want to, and they are not in the tide of returning to their hometowns at all.
The optimization of transportation conditions has eased the pressure caused by some of the waves of return.
It can be seen that the decrease in the number of returnees is due to the above three reasons, all of which are good things.
But the last reason below is very sad and helpless.
Many people only see migrant workers working steadily and living a fulfilling life in the city, so they do not have to return to their hometowns.
But they couldn't see that some migrant workers had to return to their hometowns because they had no choice but to go to the city.
Nowadays, some migrant workers are facing a very embarrassing situationOlder, but unskilled
A single bruise is enough to create a dilemma in employment, and now the two factors combined make employment even more difficult.
It is said that "the line is the champion", but each line always has its technical requirements.
But it's a pity that now older migrant workers want to learn technology, but they don't have the energy and no channels.
As a result, they can only "serve the old" and have no choice but to return to their hometowns.
These embarrassing employment situations are clearly not unique to older migrant workers.
Even if some migrant workers are in the prime of life, they will find it difficult to find employment due to their lack of professional ability.
Nowadays, with the rapid development of society, it is no surprise that graduate students and doctors are among various enterprises.
This is a reflection of the fact that the threshold for jobs has been raised.
Over time, many jobs have required more professional competence.
As a result, some migrant workers who lack professional skills will miss out on these jobs.
The lack of education is a big flaw, and it directly loses the "stepping stone" for some positions.
Some migrant workers have no choice but to return to their hometowns after repeatedly hitting a wall in big cities.
The return of these migrant workers may not be a wave of homecoming.
But it is likely that they will not be present in the next wave of returns, because they will not be in the city.
And there is another important reason why some migrant workers leave the city.
That is, the income conditions are difficult to meet the level of consumption.
This situation is very common in big cities, and it is also the embarrassment of many "workers".
Some migrant workers work very hard, but the wage level is not high.
The level of consumption in big cities is not ordinary, and it is difficult to save money with ordinary salaries.
Some migrant workers do not have sufficient savings, so naturally there is no way to "return to their hometowns".
At this point, there are only two options left:
Stay in the city and continue to work hard, or simply go back to your hometown and never come back again.
Both of these scenarios have an impact on the flow of returns.
As a result, there will naturally be fewer and fewer people returning home.
The return of homeowners has always been a reflection of the employment environment of migrant workers.
Although there are many people who are struggling because of employment problems;
However, people are still willing to believe that there will be better policies and environment in the future, so that more migrant workers can live in peace.
