Recently, there have been rumors circulating on the Internet that farmers will no longer be able to work in the cities starting in March. It is said that in some cities, it has already begun to be implemented, and many migrant workers have begun to return to their hometowns. Is this news true?
Speaking of today's peasants, almost more than half of them have already gone to the cities. With the current standard of living, it is unrealistic to expect a few acres of arable land at home to feed it. For this reason, since around 2010, a large number of farmers have chosen to leave their families behind and find a job in the city to earn money.
It can be said that as long as the peasants entered the city, few of them were willing to come back. Although many migrant workers are doing manual work now, which is very hard, for the two couples, they can have an income of about 10,000 yuan per month. This is much better than farming at home. Because of their high incomes, many farmers are reluctant to return to the countryside to farm. As the rural population became less and less, the arable land in the village began to become barren. Even if there are people planting, it also greatly reduces the utilization rate of land. Cultivated land that could have been cultivated twice a year has been left uncultivated for half a year.
It is precisely because many peasants have gone out to work that their lives have changed greatly. It can be said that compared with the villagers who went out to work, the lives of those who stayed in the village were still poor. At least in terms of savings, it is not enough to catch up with the villagers who go out to work. However, now if the peasants are allowed to continue farming in the countryside, they will no longer be able to work. So, what are the lives of these peasants?
Now, many farmers are burdened with the pressure of life. Today's parents, in order to supplement their children, are still working hard to earn money. If they are allowed to return to the countryside, how will they pay off the mortgage they are carrying? Relying only on a few acres of arable land at home, there is absolutely no chance. So, is the news of the ban on peasants going to the cities to work?
In response to migrant workers going to the city to work, some relevant policies have indeed been introduced. However, there are some migrant workers here who have a wrong understanding of the policy. In some areas, it is true that over-age peasant workers are not allowed to continue to work in certain jobs, but there is no prohibition on peasants going to the cities to work.
For the plan of the whole country, it was hoped that all the peasants would go to the cities. Since we hope that the peasants will go to the cities, it will naturally not prevent them from taking root and surviving in the cities. However, for some cities, the restriction on over-age migrant workers is mainly due to safety considerations.
In the absence of relevant management rules, many construction sites can only let some elderly and over-age migrant workers work on the construction site because they cannot recruit young people. However, in reality, many over-age migrant workers will have life safety accidents under high-intensity labor. Based on this consideration, many places have imposed work restrictions on over-age migrant workers. Prevent them from entering some physically demanding and dangerous jobs. However, for now, this management requirement is only for some heavy physical jobs in the construction industry, as well as dangerous positions.
Although some jobs have been banned in these cities, they are also to accommodate the willingness of over-age migrant workers to work. Guide them into some easy jobs. For example, you can apply for some construction site janitors, or some factory janitors, or do logistics and other work.
Generally speaking, the news that peasants are forbidden to work in the cities is fake, but for over-age peasant workers, it is true that they should no longer engage in heavy physical labor. As a family member, you should also let your relatives over the age of 60 stay away from high-intensity jobs or even retire home.
