Why is the shortage of migrant workers, the crux of the shortage of migrant workers?


Guangdong Province, which has always been the first choice of migrant workers, has become the region most affected by the “labor shortage” in recent years. Guangdong is the largest province for recruiting migrant workers nationwide, accounting for about 1% of the total migrant workers in China. 3, but in recent years, many companies have reported that it is not easy to make up for the lack of employees; in the past, orders were smashed. This year, Guangdong canceled the 10-year long ban on recruitment for the Spring Festival, hoping to alleviate the shortage of migrant workers in Guangdong. However, news from the Guangdong Labor and Employment Service Management Center showed that the flow of foreign labor did not increase significantly. According to incomplete statistics, the workers in the manufacturing enterprises of the Pearl River Delta have a gap of 2 million this year.


So what is the reason for such a huge employment gap? For the traditional processing industry like furniture, the demand for workers is even larger. The Spring Festival of 2012 is coming soon. The Guangdong family [new news price type reviews] will face a new round of migrant workers returning to the hometown. After the Spring Festival, enterprises It is unclear whether workers can return to work if they can work normally. By visiting some furniture companies, the reporter found some reasons for the shortage of labor in furniture companies:


1. The cost of living in the city and surrounding areas


The southern part of Guangdong has always been the primary choice for migrant workers from the Mainland. Most of the workers who choose to work in Shenzhen come from the south of the Yangtze River and surrounding provinces and cities, including Hunan, Sichuan, Jiangxi and other places. According to the survey, the five companies surveyed In terms of general workers, most of them come from other places, especially Shenzhen furniture enterprises. There are few people in Shenzhen or surrounding areas who go to furniture factories for employment. Peng Hong said: “Recall that there are about 800 ordinary front-line workers in the factory in Longgang. Most of these people are from Hunan, Hubei, Sichuan and other places. There are basically no people around Shenzhen, and even workers from Guangdong are very few." With the progress of Shenzhen's urbanization process, the cost of living such as house prices and prices is rising, despite Many furniture companies are located in the Guanwai area of ​​Shenzhen, but even if it is off customs, house prices are still unattainable. Although the wages of ordinary workers are raised every year, the range is still unable to catch up with the rising cost of living.


“The housing prices are too high, so even in the remote areas, the average worker is still unable to meet the demand for home purchases, which leads to their lack of belonging in Shenzhen’s work and life, and at the same time, prices have increased, which further leads to a larger part of their income to cope with daily life. For migrant workers who have savings, the advantages of working deeper are gradually lost," Peng Hong explained.


2. The development of urbanization in the Mainland and the economic progress of the surrounding areas


Coastal cities have always been synonymous with development, but the cost of living and the degree of development of developed cities are increasingly not proportional. Compared with some second-tier cities in the Mainland, their development speed and urban construction are no worse than those in northern cities such as Guangzhou and Shenzhen. This is why more and more migrant workers prefer to work in some second- and third-tier cities near their hometowns. In addition, the intensity of national urbanization has increased, and the business and entrepreneurial environment in the Mainland has become better. Some of them have been working outside the home. Workers, through years of savings, have chosen a few people who will start their own businesses.
