Migrant workers under the epidemic return to their hometowns, do they stay for a short time or return for a long time?

Under the epidemic, economic factors are driving more migrant workers to return in the short term. After the return of migrant workers, although the problem of cross-regional long-distance traveling has been solved as a whole, the balance between working and homework still exists on a smaller spatial scale. Most of the migrant workers from outside the province work in the central cities, and most of them still choose the central cities in the province after returning home. A large number of migrant workers have been working in Guangdong, Zhejiang and other places for many years. When they enter the middle-aged and old age, because they cannot settle in the local area and enjoy the same public services as local urban residents, coupled with high housing prices, returning home has become the last choice for a family. Excellent choice. This is also the most important economic factor affecting the return of migrant workers. | Related reading (Economic Observer)

Chinese people have a strong sense of rurality. In the context of Chinese people, “leaving one’s hometown” is also a word full of hardships and bitterness.

However, the gap between the north and the south of China’s economy and the gap between the east and the west are now more obvious, which has caused the flow of migrant workers across provinces, as evidenced by the huge population migration during the Spring Festival every year.

If it is possible to realize the employment of migrant workers in the cities where they live, it will undoubtedly be a huge progress, and it will also be an important indicator of regional coordinated development. Unfortunately, many small and medium-sized cities do not have such an endowment. For example, in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, the monthly salary may easily exceed 10,000 yuan, but in many fourth- and fifth-tier cities, this is a high salary.

Under the epidemic, migrant workers can be said to be the most affected group. They have no fixed jobs and no social security. When they return to their hometowns, they will rest for a while. When the economy restarts, they will flock to big cities with more opportunities and higher incomes.
