With the rapid development of China's economy, a large number of industrial industries have developed into the hinterland, and the urbanization process has accelerated. This has brought great opportunities to the working community, but also created new social problems. Many laid-off workers have lost their jobs and their lives are in dire straits. So, who pushed these groups of workers to the bottom?
On the one hand, we can't blame business owners out there. As owners of a business, their priority is to maximize profits for their shareholders. In an increasingly competitive market environment, companies must reduce costs through technological upgrades and capacity optimization, which means layoffs for some workers. On the other hand, when promoting the process of industrial upgrading and urbanization, the employment and life of laid-off workers cannot be taken into account in a timely manner, and the lack of policy protection is also one of the problems.
However, the more important reason lies in the imbalance in the overall development mode of our society. For a long time, China's GDP growth has mainly relied on capital and export expansion, but it has ignored the problems of domestic demand and employment. "High-speed development, inefficient employment" has become a hidden danger. At the same time, China's education system attaches too much importance to the cultivation of theoretical knowledge and ignores the cultivation of practical ability. This makes it difficult for many workers who do manual labor to find new jobs when their skills become obsolete.
In addition, the construction of China's welfare system also lags behind economic development. The retraining and reemployment assistance for laid-off workers is insufficient, and it is difficult to adapt to the changes in employment brought about by the adjustment of the industrial structure. It is also a problem that some localities attach importance to GDP growth while ignoring the importance of population adjustment and the construction of the social security system.
Generally speaking, it is the imperfection of China's overall development strategy and institutional mechanisms that makes it difficult for the worker group to adapt to social changes and become the lowest part. To solve this problem, it is necessary to comprehensively promote domestic demand-driven economic growth and improve the employment and social security systems. Only by reforming the system and mechanism and promoting the participation of all strata and sharing the fruits of economic development can we truly achieve social progress and fairness and justice.
