With the continuous development of society, the gap between the rich and the poor is gradually widening, and a new type of poor people has also emerged.
This "new type of poor" is different from the traditional poor in that they may have a certain income and living security, but there are also some manifestations that directly affect their lives and futures.
This article will analyze the definition, manifestations and causes of the "new type of poor", and how to solve this problem.
1. What is the "new type of poor"?
The "new type of poor" refers to the phenomenon that there are still some groups of people who have a low quality of life and find it difficult to meet their basic living needs when the economic conditions are relatively good.
This group of people often has a certain income**, but for some reason, the standard of living cannot be improved, or even gradually decreased.
The exact number of such groups has not yet been clearly defined compared to the traditional poor population, but it has attracted widespread attention.
2. Manifestations of the existence of a "new type of poor".
Inability to afford the high cost of living: Despite their higher incomes, the "new poor" are unable to afford the high cost of living, including rent, prices, etc., resulting in an inability to improve their quality of life.
Difficulty meeting basic living needs: These people have difficulty accessing basic security and benefits in life, such as health care, education, social insurance, etc.
The lack of these basic protections can increase the uncertainty of their lives and may even lead to their inability to cope with sudden and unexpected events.
Narrow social circles: These people tend to have narrow social circles, unable to engage with the wider community, and unable to access more opportunities and resources.
3. The reasons for the existence of the "new type of poor".
Low income levels: Although the "new poor" have a certain income**, they tend to have lower income levels. It can be due to career choices, working conditions, unfair income distribution, etc.
Lack of basic security: These people often lack basic social security and benefits, such as health care, education, social insurance, etc. The lack of these benefits will have a direct impact on their lives and futures.
Consumption upgrading: Consumption upgrading refers to the continuous improvement of consumption level due to people's higher requirements for quality of life with the development of social economy. With the upgrading of consumption, some "new poor" are often unable to afford the high cost of living, and it is difficult to meet their needs.
Fourth, how to solve the problem of the "new type of poor".
Strengthening social security: Efforts should be made to improve the social security system and provide more benefits and guarantees. For example, the establishment of universal medical insurance and pension insurance, as well as the strengthening of investment in education.
Create a more equitable income distribution mechanism: A more equitable income distribution mechanism should be established to raise the income level of low-income groups. At the same time, there is also a need to strengthen employment training and vocational skills upgrading to improve their competitiveness.
Improve the protection of consumer rights and interests: We should increase the supervision and management of the market, strengthen the protection of consumer rights and interests, and prevent unreasonable and fraudulent behavior. At the same time, enterprises should also be encouraged and guided to produce and sell more practical products.
Summary: The "new type of poor" is a new concept relevant to the times, and its existence indicates social injustice and uneven development. ** Society should work together to improve the quality of life of low-income people, narrow the gap between the rich and the poor, and promote the harmonious development of society.
