In 2024, farmers will face two major changes, and they can only cope with them if they are prepared
The ageing of the rural population is becoming increasingly severe.
Starting from 2024, the demographic structure and demographic structure of our country will change dramatically. Compared with urban areas, income and opportunities in rural areas are relatively limited, and many young people go to work outside to support their families, and some young people who are financially able will also choose to settle in other places so that their children can have better learning resources and future development. This development trend has led to a large outflow of rural labor, and many villages have become empty shell villages, leaving behind the elderly and the elderly. All these have led to the elderly in rural society facing a greater burden of old-age care, and the problem of old age has emerged.
Today, with the development of China's society and the continuous improvement of the living conditions of the people, the problem of old-age care for the elderly in rural areas of China is becoming increasingly prominent. In China, due to the lack of a basic old-age insurance system and a basic old-age insurance system, its survival level has declined significantly. At the same time, due to the imbalance in health care, the elderly in rural areas have poor access to medical care, and many elderly people are unable to do anything due to illness. To cope with the aging of the rural population, it is necessary to increase investment in rural pension services, improve the rural pension system, improve the welfare of farmers, and establish more nursing homes and medical facilities to ensure their basic living and health needs.
The issue of rural education needs to be addressed urgently.
In addition to the aging population, another major problem is rural education. Rural education resources are very scarce, many villages do not have good primary schools at all, and the teaching staff is relatively poor. Many good teachers choose to develop in big cities, and those who have little work experience are left. In this context, rural children receive far less education than urban children. Many parents are willing to spend money to send their children to school in the city because they want their children to have better learning conditions.
However, in rural areas, many people generally have to spend all their savings to pay for their children's education. Their parents are fighting for their children and their future. In order to send their children to school, they can go to work outside the home or use their house in the countryside as a mortgage. In such an environment, the elderly and children may find an opportune time to escape the countryside together, making the countryside a concentration of elderly people and children.
To solve this problem, it is necessary to increase investment in rural education, improve the teaching level of rural primary schools, and allow more talents to work in rural areas, as well as provide rural teaching equipment and resources. At the same time, it is necessary to strengthen the educational link between urban and rural areas, to eliminate the gap between urban and rural areas, so that all children, whether living in urban or rural areas, can enjoy the same right to education.
The employment situation of migrant workers is becoming increasingly severe.
In addition to the aging of the population, education and other factors, the "migrant labor shortage" is also a "three rural" problem in China. With the rapid development of the rural economy and the outflow of a large number of laborers, the number of jobs in rural areas has been decreasing. Many young adults have gone out to look for work, and only the elderly and children are left in the village. In this context, the traditional rural farming methods are gradually declining, and the income of rural households can no longer meet the basic needs of survival.
Many farmers will work outside to make ends meet. However, due to their own skills, education level and other reasons, these migrant workers have difficulty finding employment, and most of them are mainly manual and have low wages. Rural labor transfer is an important issue in rural labor transfer.
In order to effectively solve the problem of peasants' employment, it is necessary to strengthen support and support for the rural economy, promote the optimization and upgrading of the rural industrial structure, and create more jobs. On this basis, it is necessary to strengthen the training and skill training of the rural labor force and broaden their employment pathways. At the same time, the state should also increase support for rural enterprises, provide entrepreneurial and policy help for rural households, so as to stimulate the entrepreneurial enthusiasm of rural households and promote the development of rural economy.
The conclusion is: judging from the above three points, by 2024, the life of farmers will be even more difficult. The aging of the population, the problem of education, and the problem of labor force will become the three major problems in the development of China's rural population. It is necessary to strengthen support for rural pension services, education, employment, and so on, so that the living environment of rural residents can be further improved and their living standards can be guaranteed. Only in this way can the rural labor force better adapt to the development of the new era and meet the challenges of the new era.
