Will the return to the hometown disappear in 2024? The four main reasons why farmers do not return home for the Chinese New Year are heart-wrenching
Four reasons for the decrease in the phenomenon of migrant workers returning to their countries of origin 1Affected by the macroeconomic environment.
Over the past three years, the recession in the real estate sector has caused many migrant workers to lose their jobs. Most migrant workers work in the construction industry, and they are forced to take early vacations due to the shutdown of construction sites. Some migrant workers are waiting for wages to be paid at construction sites, and some choose to go home early for the Chinese New Year because they are too tired. A large number of migrant workers are unemployed, resulting in a decrease in income and a decrease in their willingness to return to their hometowns for the Chinese New Year.
Expansion: The shutdown of the construction industry has left many migrant workers in employment difficulties. Face"Can't make money"In this dilemma, many migrant workers end their work early and go on vacation. They either wait quietly on the construction site for their wages to be paid, or they choose to go home early because of the heavy financial burden. This economic pressure and employment dilemma has directly affected the New Year's resolutions of many migrant workers.
2.The phenomenon of company closures.
The closure of many factories and mining companies was also a contributing factor. Many workers lost their jobs due to business closures and were forced to return to their hometowns early for the Chinese New Year. In such a situation, the phenomenon of mass returns will no longer occur.
Expansion: The closure of many companies has left a large number of workers without income**, leaving their jobs early to go home in order to save money and avoid risk. In this case, workers would rather spend the holiday at home and reunite for the New Year than rush to work.
3.Consideration of family situation.
When some migrant workers go out to work, they are afraid that their family members will be treated badly in their hometowns, so they choose to go out with their families. In order to make their family life more stable, some migrant workers prefer to make greater sacrifices and keep their families with them. Since the family members are all working in other places, it is impossible to get together even during the holidays, so choosing to spend the New Year in other places has become a reality.
Expansion: Considering the importance of family members and family reunification, some migrant workers choose to bring their families to work abroad to ensure harmonious family relationships. Families work in various places, and it is even more difficult to reunite on Chinese New Year's Eve, so choosing to spend the New Year in other places has become a norm.
4.Personal life choices.
As they grow older, some migrant workers are reluctant to go out to work, and returning to their hometowns to start a business or farming has become a new choice. Although I go out to work to earn a lot of money, I have a lot of expenses, and it is rare for my family to see each other. In order to take better care of their families and reduce the cost of living, they choose to stay in their hometown for the Chinese New Year.
Expansion: As they grow older, some migrant workers are no longer willing to work in other places for a long time, but choose to engage in breeding or planting in their hometowns. Although the income of working in other places is higher, at the same time, the accompanying expenses are also larger, and the family gathers less and leaves more, in order to better take care of their families and reduce the cost of living, they are more willing to stay in their hometown for the New Year.
Personal reflections and conclusions.
In today's society, with the changes of the times, the phenomenon of migrant workers returning to their hometowns for the New Year has also had a variety of different interpretations. In addition to changes in the economic and labor situation, an individual's family situation and life choices also have an important impact on the decision of migrant workers to return to their hometowns. For many migrant workers, Chinese New Year's Eve is not just a simple reunion, but also a series of life realities and emotions. In this context, the disappearance of the wave of returnees is not a simple phenomenon, but an interweaving of social changes and individual choices. It is hoped that in the future, migrant workers can find a better way to balance work and life, and achieve a more harmonious and happy life.
