With the advent of 2024, China has issued the first document, focusing on the "three rural" issues again, clearly proposing to solidly promote the integrated development of urban and rural areas at the county level and implement a new round of urbanization actions for the agricultural transfer population. This is undoubtedly a major good news for the majority of farmers, which means that the state will give more support and guarantee at the policy level to help farmers develop in the city and share the fruits of modern civilization.
First, when the peasants enter the city, the state escorts them
In the past, peasants often faced many problems when moving to cities, such as housing, employment, pension, medical care and other basic public services. Now, the state has made it clear that it will provide necessary public services for the peasants who have moved to the cities to ensure that they can stay and live well in the cities.
In terms of housing, the state will provide affordable housing, "second-limit housing" and other affordable housing according to the income of the peasants who have moved to the cities, and at the same time encourage the development of the rental market so that the peasants in the cities can have houses to live in. In terms of employment, the state will strengthen vocational skills training for farmers to improve their employment competitiveness, and at the same time encourage enterprises to absorb more farmers for employment. In the area of old-age care and medical care, the state will further improve the social security system to ensure that rural residents in urban areas can enjoy the same social welfare benefits as urban residents.
2. Retain the rights and interests of the rural areas and have no worries about advance and retreat
The peasants' move to the cities does not mean that they have to give up all their rights and interests in the rural areas. On the contrary, the state will guarantee the original rights and interests of peasants who move to urban areas, such as the right to contract land, the right to use homestead land, and the right to distribute collective income. This means that even if farmers settle in the cities, they can still keep their land and properties in the countryside.
At the same time, the state will also strengthen the management and protection of rural land to prevent the occurrence of problems such as indiscriminate occupation of cultivated land and illegal construction. This will provide a more stable and sustainable environment for farmers.
Third, rural revitalization is at the right time, and rural life is better
With the in-depth implementation of the rural revitalization strategy and the continuous advancement of the construction of livable, workable and beautiful villages, the living environment and quality of rural areas are being significantly improved. The state is increasing investment in rural infrastructure and public services, such as improving the rural water supply engineering system, consolidating and upgrading the power grid, promoting the development of new energy, strengthening the planning and construction of rural new energy vehicle charging piles, and promoting the construction of four good highways. These measures will provide farmers with more convenient and comfortable living conditions.
At the same time, the state is also encouraging farmers to develop emerging industries such as characteristic industries and rural tourism, and promote the integrated development of primary, secondary and tertiary industries in rural areas. This will help broaden the channels for farmers to increase their incomes and improve their living standards.
Fourth, looking forward to the future: urban-rural integration to create brilliance
With the continuous support of national policies and the unremitting efforts of farmers themselves, the integrated development of urban and rural areas will become an important feature of China's social development in the new era. In the future, we will see more and more farmers successfully settle in the city and integrate into urban life; At the same time, more urban resources will be tilted towards rural areas, injecting new vitality into rural revitalization.
In this era full of opportunities and challenges, let us work together to create a better future for urban-rural integrated development!
