With the continuous development and progress of China's society, the rural areas are undergoing a change under the tide of modernization.
At present, a large number of young people in rural areas choose to work in big cities to earn money, and only the elderly are left in the villages, resulting in a very serious aging population in rural areas.
And as people go out to work to make money, rural areas are no longer the same as before, and people are always seen working in the fields, resulting in a decrease in land utilization.
Not only that, there are many new social phenomena in the countryside, today let us take a look at the "four strange phenomena" that the countryside is currently facing!
1. Go back to the countryside to build a villa, but no one lives in it
With the economic development of our country, most people in rural areas choose to go out to develop, and work hard in big cities for many years, some people have successfully earned some money through hard work, and some people have accumulated some money through hard work, and they will choose to go back to the countryside to build a very beautiful villa.
Due to the development of big cities, many young people will choose to settle in big cities, resulting in the built villas but no one lives in them, and the villas look lonely, like the so-called "ghost towns".
These phenomena have brought certain harm to the countryside, and the construction of villas will occupy a large amount of arable land and use a large number of trees, resulting in less and less arable land and the destruction of natural vegetation.
In addition, because the style of building villas is relatively unique and incompatible with the countryside, it will also destroy the natural features and cultural heritage of the countryside.
2. Young people in rural areas "gnaw the old" at home
I believe that there are more or less such people in every rural area, who do not go out to look for a job and wander around at home all day. At home, they rely on their parents' pensions or the pension money accumulated by their parents who go out to work to "gnaw at the old".
Therefore, it will bring a certain amount of financial pressure to the family, and it is even more difficult for the family with poor family conditions. Long-term dependence on parents can lead to a decline in young people's ability and experience to live independently.
Of course, there are many reasons for this phenomenon, such as the lack of education and the difficulty of finding a job in a big city.
This phenomenon affects the growth and independence of young people, exacerbates rural poverty, and reduces productivity.
3. More and more land is being abandoned
With the acceleration of urbanization, a large number of young people choose to work in cities, and the rural population is decreasing, resulting in land abandonment.
On the other hand, in some rural areas, due to poor farming conditions, low output efficiency, and high inputs such as fertilizers, seeds, and machinery, lead to the abandonment of farming and the choice of higher-paying occupations.
Therefore, the phenomenon of land abandonment reflects the problems of high agricultural production costs and low returns, weak agricultural infrastructure, and imperfect land transfer policies.
4.The salaries of village cadres are low, and the competition is fierce
The salary of village cadres is about one or two thousand yuan, and in today's society, the salary of one or two thousand yuan is indeed very low, but the competition in the election of village cadres is quite fierce; first of all, if you can become a village cadre in the rural areas, you will have a certain prestige in the village, and you will also have the opportunity to be involved in rural poverty alleviation projects and land development projects.
This can easily lead to power becoming the clutch of money and the abuse of power, thus exacerbating the disparity between the rich and the poor in rural areas.
In short, the rural areas are currently experiencing unprecedented changes, and there are more than the above "four strange phenomena", for this situation, it is also necessary for the joint efforts of the state and all sectors of society to give new vitality to the rural areas from the rural economy, agricultural development, social security system, etc., and promote the sustainable development of rural areas.
