Next year, the hardships faced by rural people will deepen, involving a number of common phenomena, and we should be prepared for it!
Introduction: The deteriorating situation of the rural population has become a reality that cannot be ignored. From next year, life will be even more difficult for farmers. Expert**, 2024 will be the year when the hard days of the rural population really come. This article will focus on three common phenomena, namely, the difficulty in selling agricultural products, the backlog of rural education, and the crisis of elderly care in rural areas. These issues not only affect the livelihoods of millions of households, but also reflect the challenges facing rural development. In the face of these problems, how should we recognize, reflect and deal with them?
Difficulties in marketing agricultural products: Farmers are not rewarded for their hard work.
In recent years, farmers have encountered great difficulties in the marketing of agricultural products. In particular, seasonal agricultural products, such as some fruits and vegetables, if not sold in time, will cause a large number of crops to rot in the field. In addition, due to the impact of the epidemic, the sales of agricultural products are more limited. The ** of various agricultural products is also gradually declining. In particular, with the continuous increase in the cost of agricultural production, the peasants' grain production is seriously unprofitable. In the case of corn, rice and sweet potatoes, the market is low, and the real income of farmers is very limited. While some larger producers can benefit from additional subsidies, it is becoming increasingly difficult for most farmers to make ends meet.
Backwardness of rural education: the loss of young people and obstacles to rural development.
Education in rural areas has a long-standing problem. In recent years, the lack of high-quality educational resources in rural areas has become more obvious. Many rural schools have poor infrastructure and even serious problems such as leaking rain in classrooms. The number of schools in rural areas is declining, and teachers are leaving in search of better opportunities. This has led young people in rural areas to leave the countryside and move to cities in search of better educational resources and development opportunities. Inconvenient transportation is an obstacle for young people to get to school, and they often have to walk several kilometers to get to school in the city. As a result, the willingness of rural youth to stay in the countryside has gradually weakened.
Elderly care crisis in rural areas: Acute shortages of urgent needs.
The problem of rural pension is becoming increasingly prominent. Although there has been a certain degree of return of farmers from urban to rural areas in recent years, the return is mainly concentrated in the elderly population. With the increase in the proportion of middle-aged and elderly people in China, it is difficult for farmers living in cities to return to the countryside. They have to bear the living expenses such as housing and car loans in the city, and they cannot go back to the countryside to support the elderly. In rural areas, there is relatively little infrastructure for the elderly, and many of them face the problem of living alone and being poorly cared for. The low level of consumption in rural areas and the lack of motivation for enterprises to establish nursing homes have led to the increasingly serious problem of elderly care in rural areas.
Summary and Reflection:
The difficulty in selling agricultural products, the backwardness of rural education, and the crisis of old-age care for the elderly in rural areas will aggravate the situation of the rural population in the coming year, and are the main challenges facing rural development at present. We must deeply understand the reasons behind these problems and work together to find solutions. ** Support for the rural economy must be strengthened by providing more political support and financial contributions. Society should strengthen the construction of rural infrastructure and educational reform, and improve the quality of life and development ability of peasants. Individuals should also actively plan for the future, improve their quality of life, and contribute to rural development.
The issue of rural development has a bearing not only on the vital interests of peasants but also on the overall situation of the country's economic and social development. Only when rural areas achieve more equitable and sustainable development can urban-rural integration and social harmony and stability be realized. Everyone should pay attention to rural issues and put forward positive suggestions and actions to improve the increasingly difficult situation of the rural population. I believe that with the joint efforts of everyone, the countryside will have a better tomorrow.
