China Youth Daily, Beijing, February 4 (China Youth Daily, China Youth Network reporter Zhu Caiyun) "Increasing farmers' income is the central task of the 'three rural' work. At a press conference held by the State Council Information Office today, Zhu Weidong, deputy director of the Finance Office and deputy director of the Agricultural Office, said that in 2023, the per capita disposable income of rural residents in China will increase by 7 percent year-on-year6%, and the income ratio of urban and rural residents shrank to 239:1, but there are many difficulties and challenges in consolidating the momentum of farmers' income increase. He introduced that this year's No. 1 document puts the measures to strengthen farmers' income increase in a prominent position, focusing on four aspects.

Specifically, the four measures include tapping the potential of industrial operation to increase income, stabilizing the income of farmers going out to work, expanding transfer income, and giving farmers more adequate property rights. Zhu Weidong said: Wage income has become the first pillar of peasants' income. The document emphasizes that it is necessary to strengthen the vocational skills training of migrant workers, improve the cross-regional information sharing and organized labor export mechanism, do a good job in supporting the employment of older migrant workers, actively promote cash-for-work in key projects and agricultural and rural infrastructure construction, and promote multi-channel employment of rural labor. ”
In view of the problem of arrears of wages for migrant workers, the document proposes to strengthen source prevention and risk early warning, and improve the long-term mechanism of wage arrears. Zhu Weidong said that it is the end of the year and the beginning of the year, and the relevant departments are carrying out a special action to rectify wage arrears, and go all out to let the migrant workers have a safe year.
It is worth noting that for agriculture-related capital projects, the document stresses the need to strengthen supervision, strictly investigate and deal with illegal activities such as arbitrage and fraudulent acquisition of funds, and make up for various subsidies and subsidies for farmers, so that farmers can really get benefits.
