Here are the details of the "Poor Busy People" and related links. If you are really interested, you can read about it.
=======================================
Introduction
Poor busy people from the English word "working poor", the original meaning is that those who do not have much pay, all day long running labor, but always The original meaning of the word "working poor" was that those who work all day long with little pay, but can never get rid of poverty. But with the gradual growth of the "working poor", the main criterion is those whose weekly working hours are less than two-thirds of the average and whose income is less than 60% of the average. This definition has gradually evolved into a kind of "busy people" who are forced to spend continuously in order to fill the void in their lives, and then continue to engage in busy work, and then return to the void after spending. In other words, busy people are not unemployed; some people may have several jobs at the same time, and even those who are employed full-time may be reduced to the working poor, who are both busy and poor at the same time. The EU has also broken down this group into different classes, offering different assistance programs.
Causes
With the development of the economy and the accelerated process of urbanization, individual survival pressure is indeed increasing, but definitely not "tight" to the extent that the "poor busy people" at the same time part-time several jobs desperately trying to make money; blindly follow, The mentality of blind obedience and comparison may exist in some people, but it will not be a universal mainstream mentality; as for personal desires, I think, in the vision of modern civilization, in order to give up everything for the sake of material enjoyment is not unheard of, but after all, it is still a small number of people.
The key to the problem, I'm afraid, lies in the "structural crisis" that exists in the real society - the social structure, which is originally a dynamic institutional framework for "flowing water does not rot". The social structure was originally a dynamic institutional framework that "flows without rotting". Between social classes, there is a continuous flow cycle of "river". It is normal for the poor to become rich or for the rich to become penniless again, and for the masses to become elites or for the elites to fall to the grassroots. But the reality is, household registration, income distribution, education and many other areas of institutional backwardness or even injustice, gradually leading to the elite "oligarchization" and the bottom of the "solidification", the flow between the class and the class is difficult. The poor will be rich more and more difficult, grassroots to become the elite is almost a mirage.
There is a saying circulating on the Internet and in the community that there are a lot of us, but we have very few opportunities. The powerful team of elites in all sectors of society holds the power of speech at all levels, and the general public wants to move upward, in addition to the "poor and busy", what else can be done? Therefore, in order to obtain a better quality of life, to realize a better future, more and more people join the "poor busy people" in the queue - the so-called "poor busy", can not be The so-called "poor busy" can not simply be understood as making money to satisfy the desire to consume, but through greater efforts to find the "opportunity of life".
Thus, the "poor busy people" can never realize self-redemption. The individual mentality and value adjustment can only "treat the symptoms", in order to "cure the root", but also from the root "medicine". Obviously, the continuous introduction of effective public **** policy in line with the laws of the economy, conducive to the benign development of society, improve the relevant laws and regulations, vigorously solve many outstanding livelihood problems, such as employment, housing, education, medical care, and so on, to give the "grassroots" the opportunity to participate in a fair distribution of social wealth, and completely eliminate the "grass roots". The "grassroots" upward mobility of the heavy pressure - this is to save the "poor busy people" of the road, can not be avoided and there is no shortcut to go.
Country situations
The spread of the busyness phenomenon in countries around the world has varied, with the source coming from companies that have reduced the use of full-time employees on the one hand, and increased the number of part-time, part-time, contracted and dispatched non-regular employees on the other hand, in order to reduce costs and increase management flexibility. In Germany's automotive industry, for example, the total number of employees is less than half of what it was 50 years ago, even though the industry is making more and more money.
Not only in Germany, but also in the Nordic countries and across Western Europe, the number of such busy people is gradually increasing, as long as they work overtime but earn less than 60 percent of society's average annual income is considered to be poor, and the Austrian poor busy people can only earn 785 euros a month.
In 1998, about 2.7 percent of the German West's busy people and 3.9 percent of Germany's busy people were poor, but according to the latest statistics, the number of busy people in Germany has increased to 7.4 percent, and the situation is similar in Western European countries.
The reason for the upsurge in this group of people is mainly to solve the unemployment problem. The government has passed a decree on low-paying jobs, and in Germany, for example, companies are no longer allowed to abide by the minimum wage that was set before 1998, and are offering a large number of low-paying jobs to the unemployed in a bid to solve the unemployment problem. Some think it is good to provide low-paying jobs to solve the unemployment problem, but others think the program is not helpful.
Germany's unemployment rate is now around 12 percent, down only one percentage point from the past. But the number of busy people has skyrocketed, with single-parent families and those with many children being the most numerous. These jobs include cleaners, laundry workers, couriers, telephone operators, kitchen assistants and even construction workers, as well as many highly educated people, most notably foreign language translators, whose work is as demanding as that of writers, but whose incomes are far from comparable and who have no guarantee that their books, even if they are bestsellers, will pay them any dividends.
In fact, according to M. Castells, an American urban sociologist who has observed the development of advanced countries over the past two to three decades, he has proposed the phenomenon of "dualization" of the labor market, meaning that globalization and the development of labor market elasticity have led to the emergence of a large number of atypical and frontier workers in addition to a large number of high-skilled and core workers, who are far worse off than the former in terms of their labor rights and social security. The latter are far less protected in terms of labor rights and social security than the former. The formation of the dual structure also echoes the result of the emergence of the poor and busy people, which has become a common problem in post-industrial societies.
Highly educated = highly employed, now a dead ringer
The phenomenon of the busybody has been the first to take hold in Europe and the United States for many years, but South Korea has followed suit in just a few years, which is a special case. This is because the Asian financial turmoil forced the Korean government to take a big step forward in the reform of the labor market laws and regulations to greatly relax, so that enterprises have more freedom and flexibility of employment space, resulting in a large number of atypical jobs, more than 50%, which results in the creation of a large number of busy people, the social phenomenon of poverty has increased. On the other hand, I don't know whether to say that Taiwan is fortunate or unfortunate, because the management of enterprises is more "outdated" than that of the advanced western countries, and the proportion of labor flexibility has been introduced for a long time, but it is not obvious, and the proportion of atypical hiring is comparatively very small, which has somewhat moderated and lengthened the phenomenon of the outbreak of the poor busy phenomenon.
Development
Europe and the United States have found through objective indicators that there exists a large "working poor" community in their societies. In addition, as globalization has become more pronounced in Japan and Taiwan in recent years, more and more "working poor" have emerged.
Liu Bo, a consultant with the Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences, said that although the division of "working poor" has a strong subjective color, it is inevitable that people are increasingly concerned about the CPI, income distribution and personal finance today.
Survey shows that 60.9% of the people think that the main reason why the "poor busy people" work hard but do not get rewarded, and do not see too much hope is that the social pressure is too big and the competition is fierce; 48.9% of the people think that the reason is that the "poor busy people" lack of reasonable life and career planning; 39.9% of the people think that the "poor busy people" lack of reasonable life and career planning. Reasonable life and career planning; 39.5% think it is because the starting point is too low, too few opportunities; 26% think it is too eager to get ahead, but easily frustrated; 24.5% think it is blindly follow the crowd; 18.8% think it is due to lack of patience. In addition, the survey, 88.1 percent of people feel pressure because of fierce competition, 11.9 percent said they did not feel pressure.
Wang Min, a national psychological counselor, believes that a large part of the reason why "busy people" feel stressed is a matter of values. "Feeling that their self-worth is not recognized is still mainly measured from a monetary perspective. Young people should look at long-term goals in terms of their entire working career."
A netizen named "the return of the king" believes that the "poor busy people" is due to personal desire expansion. "Some people, no money to buy a second-hand cell phone is his biggest wish, in the monthly salary of 1,500 yuan when you want to buy a computer, wait until the salary of 3,000 yuan is calculated to buy a high-grade IBM ...... salary increase at the same time, personal expectations are also on the rise, and so constantly to reach the wish and busy
To be able to buy a computer, you need to be able to buy a high-grade IBM computer.
To get rid of the "poor busy", actively charging
"I am 'poor busy', but I'm not 'poor busy'! " In Beijing, an investment company to work in Antai, trying to "draw a clear line" between himself and the word "busy people".
Two years ago into the workplace of An Tai monthly income of 3,000. in his view, his web page maintenance career is just a simple, play "play ball" grass-roots positions, but also obliged to work overtime frequency is also very high. "So I won't have much joy when I take out my paycheck at the end of the month. But I'm certainly not a 'poor busybody' because I can see hope." Antai said there is no shortage of coworkers around him who jump ship because of low pay, but he certainly won't be, "If you put in the effort, you certainly won't be working in vain, and your boss can see that."
When asked "what can be done to get rid of 'poor busy'", people gave the order of positive charging, enhance competitiveness (55.7%); adjust the mentality, timely work decompression (50.4%); as long as there is a reasonable As long as you have a reasonable life plan and goals, you won't be "busy" (46.5%); take the initiative to adapt to society (39%); and society shouldn't emphasize too much on competition (12.6%).
As for how to get rid of the state of "poor and busy", Zhou Xiaozheng, a professor at the Department of Sociology of Renmin University of China, believes that, as China's economy and society are in a period of continuous transformation, the tendency of marketization of employment is becoming more and more obvious. Various kinds of risks are also presented in the process of marketization. Therefore, the ability to cope with risks and the ability to adjust the mindset in time when facing risks are more important than the amount of culture and technology learned. At the same time, young people should not give too much consideration to material conditions or additional conditions when they first enter the job market, and it is better for them to be able to choose a career they like.
Taiwan's busy people
The "busy people" are now taking shape in Taiwan, and their distinctive feature is that they work overtime every day without an increase in salary. They have little money and a lot of things to do, busy, but always a poor man; they can not afford to buy property, and even the retirement pension is no place.
According to a Taiwan media report, Li Cheng, a professor at the Institute of Human Resource Studies at National Central University in Taiwan, pointed out in a research report on the changes in weekly working hours and hourly wages of male and female laborers between the ages of 25 and 64 in Taiwan during the period of 1980 and 2005 that the top 10 percent of men earning an hourly wage, "the rich group", had been working overtime for nearly 25 years, but had no increase in salary. group", over the past 25 years, weekly working hours have decreased by 8 hours, and hourly wages have increased to nearly NT$820; however, the "poor group", the last 10% of men's hourly wage income, has seen an increase rather than a decrease in weekly working hours over the past 25 years, and their hourly wages have only been converted to NT$80. The "rich" and "poor" groups of female laborers are also showing the same trend, showing that Taiwan is gradually moving towards a society where "the poor are busier and the rich are more idle".
Li Cheng analyzed that the rich have entered the knowledge economy era, but the poor are still in the labor era, generally dealing with clerical work, not much contribution to the company's output, and the salary level can not be proportional to the labor paid. Taiwan's "Chinese Personnel Supervisors Association" executive director Lin Yumin worried that the rich because of leisure, have time to absorb new knowledge, know how to diversify channels of investment, accumulation of wealth, leisure time can also be examined for certificates, read the EMBA, to strengthen the professional capacity, promotion more quickly; "poor busy people "In order to support their families, they even have to take on several jobs at the same time, and they have no time to invest in themselves. In the end, it becomes a vicious circle, where they are busy all the time, but their brain power is deteriorating faster and faster, and their competitiveness is getting weaker and weaker.
There are many reasons for the "poor and busy people", 1111 Manpower Bank Chief Operating Officer Wu Ruiying believes that, in the face of the mainland's strong economic growth, Taiwan is generally marginalized, and many job opportunities outside the country, coupled with the cross-strait opening up policy is not yet clear, the domestic demand for industry is not vibrant, the competitiveness of the industry has slipped, resulting in a lot of corporate salaries. The "M-shaped" trend is obvious. Not only are the salaries of low-ranking employees low, but even the salaries of highly educated freshmen in certain industries are also pitifully low. Less salary, but the work did not follow the reduction. Wu Ruiying observed, enterprises because of the poor economy, a lot of job vacancies are almost out of vacancy not to make up, a person as two people, marketing and common services, "poor busy people" busy can not be converted into wealth, complicated work can not meet the sense of personal fulfillment, the result of the poorer the busier, difficult to enhance the value of the individual.

A recent online survey conducted by China Youth Daily's Social Survey Center and a website showed that 75 percent of people consider themselves to be "poor and busy people," with 82.6 percent of them working and 9.2 percent of them being students.
Is "poor and busy" a necessary stage?
"We 'poor busy people' are much more pitiful than 'moonlight people'." Huang Yanhua, a white-collar white-collar private enterprise in Beijing, frankly admitted that he is a complete "poor busy people".
The survey showed that, like Huang Yanhua, 75 percent of the people considered themselves to be "poor and busy", while 12.7 percent said they were "not sure" whether they were "poor and busy", and 12.3 percent said they were "not sure" whether they were "poor and busy", and 12.3 percent said they were "not sure" whether they were "poor and busy". A further 12.3% said they were not "busy people".
Huang Yen-hua said the "moonlighters" may be more or less "self-congratulatory", while the "poor busy people" are more "busy, poorer, busier". The poorer you are, the busier you are.
Because of his work, Huang Yanhua often has to go in and out of high-grade office buildings. "People always have to wear a decent spirit, in order to see customers; customers, benefits will be good." To this end, this year's 26-year-old, is in the age of the Huang Yanhua had to arrange the monthly expenses of the big head in the dress.

"There are also 13.2% of people who think that there are people of any age, but the number of people is not large.
Personal desire to expand the generation of "poor busy people"?
