Chapter 399: The Middle-Income Trap

Jia Lingling and Jia Youbin sat next to a table of strangers. Judging by their outfits, the working class looked like they asked for beer, and the best-selling seafood in the nightclub.

"After the factory is closed, I won't be in Ben Thanh anymore. I'm going to go south to Jiangsu and Zhejiang to have a look. The big guy toasted to the big guy first, and then said his plans for the future.

Nowadays, it is difficult for college students to find jobs, let alone those of us who do not have a diploma. The little man sighed.

"To survive in today's society, you either have real skills, or you have to have relationships. The civil servants in my hometown, the people who can stay and work in the county, are basically people who have connections in the local area.

If you are a civil servant who has nothing to do with you, you will be allowed to stay in a remote place. The big man raised his glass and drank happily to relieve the bitterness in his heart.

"Why was our factory closed when the efficiency of the factory was so good? At the beginning, in order to be able to work in this factory, I not only trusted the relationship, but also spent some money to get in.

Now...... I really don't know what the boss thinks? Could it be that he still thinks too much money?"

"Immortals fight, mortals suffer. I've heard that it's the one from the Northeast who offended the big boss. So, the big boss was angry and withdrew his capital and left, just to show the other party's color.

This is not just the closure of our family, but the sale of factories throughout the Northeast, and the closure of those that are closed. The little man said eloquently.

"I've heard a lot of people talk about this. The Jia family is really unkind. That kick kicked us away like a ball. Except for the full-fledged management and technical staff, the rest of the people are gone.

The peripheral suppliers and suppliers supporting our factory are either large-scale layoffs or bankruptcy. This is not just the loss of tens of thousands of people, but the involvement of hundreds of thousands of people, at most millions.

The economy on our side is not good, and even Bincheng is already at the end of its power. If you do this again, it will be done sooner or later. Instead of waiting here to die, it is better to go south to have a look and break through. "The big guy is full of confusion and unforeseen hesitation about his future life.

"The big boss's divestment, the unlucky ones will definitely not be those who are officials, they are all ordinary people who are begging for a living.

The technical and management personnel in the factory did not panic one by one, and even wished to close the factory, after all, there was a place to go, and there was no need to stay in this cold place.

Headless flies like us out there just run around. Anyway, I'm not leaving. No matter what happens in the future, my whole family is here, and I want to continue to stay. "Mazi Face will not leave Bincheng with the big man and the others to go south.

"Who made our lives cheaper? The dogs of the rich people are better off than the rest of us. We don't want much. It's just that I just want a plain and stable life, that's all.

Even such a small request has become so difficult. "The big guy opens up the clouds and fog of the common people towards the ruling class in the night snack life, and has a helpless way about real life.

Jia Youbin and Jia Lingling clearly listened to the conversation of the three of them. They are not deliberately eavesdropping, but the other party's voice is loud, and there is the traditional habit of Chinese speaking loudly in public places, so that you don't want to listen, and you hear it.

Jia Youbin stared at his cousin, and the message conveyed by his eyes was, you heard it with your own ears! This is the truest voice of the people at the bottom.

They don't want much, as long as they have a job and a job, then they can support their families and survive. Occasionally, you can sit down at a street shop like this and have a few drinks.

In fact, their nightlife is very simple, if there is no gambling vice, it is drinking. Younger men are nothing more than surfing the Internet, playing with mobile phones or something.

In addition, falling in love has also become a luxury, after all, it costs money. A candlelit dinner for two, a movie, hundreds of dollars are gone.

The salary is three or five thousand a month, and it is not an eight-hour workday. Twelve hours a day, or even sixteen hours, the remuneration in exchange for going to work almost every day is definitely real hard-earned money.

This is still a model worker among migrant workers. If you are not a diligent worker, your monthly income is only 1, 2,000, or even less.

They left school early, stepped into social work early, got married early, gave birth to children early, and shouldered the burden of supporting their families early.

Many people have not even studied high school, and often have not graduated from junior high school, and they start their part-time work career in the second year of junior high school.

Even if you read a book, you can't read it, and you will choose to give up directly in the first year of junior high school. They waited until they reached the age of 16 to get their ID cards before they could go out to work, so that they knew their fate as a part-time worker for a long time.

Before entering the factory, they were still excited, thinking that they would be able to make money in the future, and then they would be able to live a good life.

Who would have thought that the hard life of the individual had just begun. After decades of exhaustion, even when you are old, there is no retirement allowance to receive.

If you don't have a hukou in your city, it means that you can't enter the social security system, especially the medical insurance system. A serious illness can bankrupt your family, or even ruin your family.

Even if the unit buys social security, it makes them feel that it is useless. This year in one city, next year in another city, and the year after next in another city.

The life of a migrant worker is to have no fixed place to live. They dragged their families around to survive, and their descendants could only enter schools for the children of migrant workers.

Living in a poor environment means that you will be exposed to many negative influences around you since childhood. It is not unreasonable for Meng Mu to move three times.

Poor food and lack of nutrition will inevitably cause anemia, and it will be difficult to concentrate in class. Not only that, but there will also be slow physical growth, mental retardation, and easy to get sick and parasites in the body.

They are the factors of social instability, and one of the most important groups in the "middle-income trap" needs attention. If China wants to break through the "middle-income trap", it is inevitable that they will have to graduate from high school.

Nine-year compulsory education can no longer keep up with the development of the times, but requires twelve years of compulsory education, preferably starting from kindergarten.

In the end, even if you graduate from a technical secondary school, you can do it. The reality is cruel, and many people come out to work before they even finish junior high school.
