In a few days, we will usher in the Spring Festival, and salarymen can live a casual holiday life again. Although the benefits of some industries in 2023 are not ideal, many companies are also busy preparing to pay employees the year-end bonus of the previous year, and also to pay employees New Year's goods. However, some industry insiders said that as the Spring Festival is getting closer and closer, there are 5 strange phenomena in society, I don't know if you have found it?
First, there are fewer and fewer people at the New Year's party
In the past, around the Spring Festival, relatives, classmates, and old colleagues would get together, mainly to connect with each other, so as not to become more and more estranged from each other. However, in recent years, such New Year's gatherings have become less and less, and people seem to be more and more indifferent to this kind of thing.
The main reason is that after the epidemic, it is becoming more and more difficult for everyone to make money, and this kind of entertainment can not be done. At the same time, relatives, classmates, and old colleagues get together, in addition to asking each other how much salary you have, that is, how many properties you have and how much you have in savings. This makes many people feel that such a party is not interesting and does not want to participate.
Second, many migrant workers are reluctant to return to their hometowns
During the epidemic, in order to control the spread of the epidemic, our country encouraged migrant workers not to return to their hometowns during the Spring Festival. And during the Spring Festival in 2024, many migrant workers are reluctant to return to their hometowns, and they all want to spend the Spring Festival in the city. The main reason is that after the epidemic is released in 2023, I haven't made any money, and I don't mix well, even if I go back, I won't have the face to face the people in the village. At the same time, even if you go back, not only do you have to participate in all kinds of banquets, but you also have to give your children New Year's money, so that you can finally make some money, and it will be used for travel expenses and red envelopes, so it is better to stay in the city and not go back.
Third, there are fewer and fewer people visiting the streets and malls
Now we walk down the street, or enter a large shopping mall, and find that there are fewer and fewer **. The main reason for this is that during the 3-year epidemic, many people developed the habit of shopping at home, and now they rarely go out to shop. In addition, after the end of the epidemic, people's incomes have decreased, and online goods** have become cheaper, so many people choose to shop online in order to reduce the cost of living. In this way, there are many fewer ** people shopping on the streets and shopping malls than in the past.
Fourth, there are more and more "freelancers".
Nowadays, due to the recession of the real economy, it is becoming more and more difficult for young people to find jobs, so the number of freelancers everywhere is increasing. According to the data, the number of freelancers in China has exceeded 300 million. Mainly engaged in food delivery, couriers, online car-hailing, self-**, etc. However, as the number of people working in these industries increases, the income per employee will also be lower than in the past. The increasing number of freelancers also reflects that it will take some time for the domestic real economy to fully return to normal.
Fifth, there are fewer and fewer people visiting relatives
In the past, before and after the Spring Festival, people had to take gifts to relatives to pay New Year's greetings, and relatives would also take gifts to visit the New Year, so back and forth, the Spring Festival will soon be over. However, this phenomenon is becoming less and less common now. Often, after the death of the older generation, the younger generation rarely interacts with each other.
The reason why there are fewer and fewer relatives in modern society is that contemporary young people attach great importance to their relatives, and they usually have a fast pace of life, so they don't have time to move around with their relatives more. When it comes to the Spring Festival, the most relatives are blessed through ** or WeChat, and everyone should spend time on leisure and travel with their families.
