Peasants and city dwellers The current state of society
In today's society, there is still a huge gap between peasants and city dwellers. Although China** has taken many steps to narrow the gap between urban and rural areas, the problem persists. This article will discuss the current situation of peasants and city dwellers in today's society.
Farmer. China is a large agricultural country, and farmers make up the majority of the population. However, the living conditions of the peasants were relatively poor, and their incomes were generally lower and their social status was lower. In many rural areas, poor infrastructure and inadequate public services such as education and health care also make life more difficult for farmers.
Despite a series of poverty alleviation policies that have been implemented in China, many farmers still live in poverty. They lack sufficient land and capital to improve agricultural production efficiency, and they also lack market information and sales channels to improve the quality of agricultural products. In addition, with the acceleration of urbanization, many farmers have lost their land and homes, which has also put a huge strain on their lives.
City. In contrast, the living conditions of the people in the city are relatively better. They often have higher incomes and social status, and have access to better education, health care, and other public services. The city has developed infrastructure, convenient transportation, and more colorful cultural and entertainment activities.
However, there are also some problems with city life. City dwellers face high housing prices and the cost of living, which is unaffordable for many young people. In addition, urban environmental pollution and traffic congestion are also problems that urban residents must face.
Causes of the urban-rural disparity.
The rural-urban divide exists due to a variety of factors. One of them is historical reasons. For a long time, China practiced a planned economy, with a highly unequal distribution of resources between urban and rural areas, with urban dwellers enjoying more benefits and opportunities, while peasants were deprived of these rights. In addition, the hukou system is also an important cause of the rural-urban disparity. The hukou system divides people into urban and rural hukou, which also makes it difficult for farmers to enjoy the public services and benefits of urban residents.
Conclusion. In today's society, there is still a huge gap between peasants and city dwellers. This problem can only be solved by the joint efforts of all sectors of society. ** We should increase investment in rural infrastructure construction and public services to improve the productivity and income levels of farmers, and at the same time, we should reform the household registration system so that farmers can enjoy the public services and benefits of urban residents. In addition, urban people also need to pay more attention to rural issues, help farmers improve their living conditions, promote the integrated development of urban and rural areas, and achieve common prosperity for all people.
