In people's impression, the living conditions of migrant workers are not optimistic, not only the material living standard is low, but also the spiritual life is seriously lacking, and the quality of life and endurance are low. It can be said that migrant workers are an important part of urban vulnerable groups, with generally high labor intensity and long working hours, and have to accept poor working environment, living conditions and unfair wages. Shaxian, a typical agricultural county in the southern mountainous area, has explored a new mode of farmers entering the city, stepped out of the broad road of getting rich and created a new pattern of going out to work with Shaxian snacks. "Shaxian farmers who entered the city made a fortune." Shaxian snacks have found a way out for farmers to increase their income and transfer rural labor force. There are 65,000 migrant workers, 50,000 of whom are engaged in Shaxian snacks. According to the official data provided by Shaxian County, there are 150 snack owners in the county who go out to operate and invest in enterprises in their hometowns, among whom 40 are engaged in the production of raw materials related to the snack industry, and many have invested in real estate development. According to the planning of Shaxian County, by 20 10, the number of snacks going out in the county will reach16,000, and the operating income will reach 2 billion yuan, so the surplus labor force in the county can be transferred smoothly.
Increasing farmers' income is the key to building a new socialist countryside. In the process of pursuing the development of Shaxian snacks, we have seen new ways to increase farmers' income and the hope of urbanization. How should China's urbanization go? The purpose of urbanization is to liberate more farmers from the land as soon as possible. As experts say, the final outcome of urbanization is to reduce farmers, and this process is actually farmers entering cities. But how do farmers get into the city? Do you rely on brute force and lip service to enter the city, or do you rely on your ability to enter the city or even take entrepreneurial projects? Under the current urban-rural dual structure system, the former simply sells simple labor in the city, earns a meager salary, and goes back to his hometown to die; If the latter is properly managed and well developed, it may really integrate into the city and take root in the city. Under the dual structure system of urban and rural areas, migrant workers in Shaxian started with snacks and then sought great development, subverting the old image of migrant workers, which is worth pondering and learning from.
Pursuing the goal of industrialization, urbanization and modernization is the strong desire of the government and all citizens. How to shorten or even catch up with western developed countries in the shortest time and at the lowest cost, and embark on a road with China characteristics is an urgent task to be explored and practiced at present. Urbanization means not only the free migration of population, but also the great changes of social structure. With the support of various policies to benefit farmers, unprecedented changes have taken place in many rural areas, but we have to face up to the problem that there is still a long way to go to solve the contradiction between urban and rural dual structure. In this case, it is particularly necessary and urgent to explore a new urbanization model.
According to the statistics of relevant departments, the rural population in China is about 750 million at present, and the number of migrant workers is as high as 65.438+300 million. In order to get migrant workers out of the predicament, we must change their identity and make them real citizens and citizens. To turn migrant workers into non-migrant workers, citizens and citizens in the true sense, we must vigorously improve the scientific and cultural quality and comprehensive technical ability of migrant workers and all citizens, so that those who have the conditions, willingness and ability to receive informal education and various trainings have the opportunity to receive re-education. Only by "further improving the quality of China's labor force and laying a good human capital for economic growth, social development and urbanization" can the problem of migrant workers be fundamentally solved. Under the existing policy environment and current development pattern, the development model of Shaxian people is a positive choice.
