Why Do Migrant Workers Want To Leave Zhengzhou?

Not long ago, a document issued by the Zhengzhou municipal government for the first time was concerned about the problem of migrant workers in urban villages.

The notice of the Zhengzhou Municipal People's Government on the construction of low rent housing and revolving housing in the pformation of urban villages, said: "migrant workers and graduates from Zhengda university are important builders of the city. Providing them with affordable housing is the inevitable requirement for maintaining the vitality and competitiveness of the city."

In Zhengzhou, with the demolition and pformation of villages in cities, the rents of surrounding rented houses are rising and the cost of living is increasing, which makes migrant workers feel pressure.

Rising rent is unbearable.

In Zhengzhou, many foreign self-employed businessmen are planning to leave and find another way to survive.

Jiang Fang, a pseudonym near the Hongqi Road near Zhengzhou, is one of them.

Jiang Fang, who runs a small store in Zhengzhou from the northeast, has been working for four months for a year. In an interview with reporters, he said, "no more can be done."

The main reason why we can't go on is the sharp increase in the cost of opening a shop.

One is to pay the wages of the waiter, from last year's opening of 600 yuan, up to 800 yuan, now is 1000 yuan, but it is also difficult to retain people.

The two is the rent increase, the 60 square meter shop, the annual rent is 19 thousand yuan last year, now it will rise to 26 thousand yuan.

In addition, the prices of operating commodities are rising.

According to Jiang Fang's statement, a small shop has a monthly income of 21 thousand yuan, gross profit is only 20%, and then it removes 135 yuan of local taxes, 100 yuan of business administration fees, and health expenses.

The pformation of the villages in the city has raised the rent of the surrounding areas. In Zhengzhou, the rent has increased two times in recent months, and it has risen by 20 yuan each time.

Zhengzhou Shijiazhuang gave such a set of data: in July 2007, the rent of the house with 18 square meters or around the toilet was 240 yuan / month; in September, the price rose by 30 yuan, and the price rose 20 yuan in October, and the price was still rising in November, with the specific amount ranging from 10 yuan to 20 yuan.

Low end employment unit recruiting difficulties

Faced with the high cost of living, some migrant workers choose to leave Zhengzhou, which has led to the recruitment difficulties of some low-end employment units in Zhengzhou.

People from Zhengzhou brothers housekeeping service company say that although the wages of employees have risen from 3 yuan per hour to 4 yuan ~6 yuan, they still can not recruit people.

According to the employment situation of the first three quarters released by Zhengzhou vocational and technical center, the top 10 of the most short positions are all the lower income workers except the department managers, including commodity supervision and market administrators, cleaners, restaurant attendants, cooks, mechanical cold processing, conservation, family attendants, tailoring and sewing workers.

"The feeling is particularly serious in recent times, and people can't be recruited at all."

Zhengzhou security service company staff said.

Although there are many reasons for the difficulty in recruiting workers, many migrant workers say that the income of migrant workers has not risen significantly compared with the rising price of rents.

At the minimum wage of 650 yuan a month, the monthly rent of two hundred or three hundred yuan is also a big expense.

"This has to make us consider whether to stay in Zhengzhou."

Some migrant workers expressed this view.

Think more about outsiders.

According to the latest statistics, the resident population in Zhengzhou is 3 million 90 thousand, and the total number of temporary residents is estimated to be over 1 million 200 thousand.

The rental housing for temporary residents in Zhengzhou is mostly concentrated in urban villages.

Wang Suyun, an associate professor of Henan business school, studied the problem of demolition and relocation of urban villages in 2003.

She said that if the rent rises, hundreds of thousands of migrant workers will leave Zheng, which will be a serious problem for the economic development of Zhengzhou.

It is worth noting that the Zhengzhou municipal government has been concerned about the problem of migrant workers in urban villages.

In November 28th this year, the Zhengzhou municipal government issued a circular request: when the villages were being renovated, the developers and villages in the city had to produce 5% of the simple decoration houses, which were leased to the district governments according to the rent standard of 5 yuan per square metre per month, as a pitional low rent housing source, to the housing poor households.

"Urban villages are demolished, built on one side, and built more than demolished."

Qin Xiaohui, Deputy Secretary General of the Zhengzhou municipal government, said that on the question of the cost of living, we hope to consider more about the millions of migrant workers who work hard in this city, so that they can not make contributions to the development of the city, but also bear the cost of urban development.

Migrant workers choose to leave, this situation is a reality, we have to solve.

Qin Xiaohui's words will bring hope to migrant workers in Zhengzhou.
