The Research On Low Social Status Of Peasant Works

With the development of economic construction, peasant workers have become a vital force in building the society, and are creating enormous social wealth. Peasant workers is a special new workforce which is emerged in this special historical period when China's reform, opening up and industrialization and urbanization are processing. They distribute in the low-end of the construction industry, mining industry, tertiary industry and other industries chain or labor-intensive industries. The workers in every area of industry at all coastal areas are mainly peasant workers. They have become an important component of industrial workers and create great wealth for the city , and they have become an important force to promote China's economic and social development. In China, peasant workers is a product of China's urbanization, and also the performance of the laggard urbanization , and it has become a unique phenomenon in the structural transformation procession of our society . The non-agricultural phenomenon reflecting from this unique character did not promote the change of their social status, and as a result , it makes the restructuring of our society become more difficult and complex. If there are no changes in social status, the peasant workers can not root out into the urban society. The key here is only through social system reform and innovation, and establishing a uniform platform and the cornerstone of social mobility, we can talk about the achievement of real social mobility, and the urbanization and modernization of our country can continue smoothly.The change from peasant farmers to peasant workers has increased competitiveability for the industrial development, increased the vitality of urban prosperity , and added impetus for the reform and opening up, and it has become an effective form for driving agriculture by industry, promoting the rural areas by the city, promoting backward regions by developed regions. However, from today's social structure and social stratification, the questions of low social status of peasant workers , and unfair treatment and other issues can not be ignored. To study and solve this issue is directly related the settle of the "three rural" problem fundamentally, related to the health development of industrialization and urbanization, and also related to the fairness and justice and harmony and stability of the society. So peasant workers issue is a global, strategic problem, and is also a long-term problem.The basic condition of our country is that there are so many farmers, and there is a long-term implementation of a dual structure of the divided governance of urban and rural, thus the process of this transfer may be longer. As a large number of surplus rural labor force still exists, the population of the peasant workers will continue to grow. And in a very long term, it is an inevitable phenomenon that the number of the peasant workers will maintain in a large level, and flowing between urban and rural areas for finding a job. Therefore, we must proceed from our national conditions, go with the objective law of the industrialization and urbanization, and guide the surplus rural labor force transfer to non-agricultural industries and urban areas orderly .And at the same time standing on the overall and strategic level of building socialism with Chinese characteristics, we must realize the importance, the urgency and the long-term of the issue of figuring out the social status of peasant workers perfectly.
