关于农民工类型的思考

改革开放以来,在农民社会分化的基础上,出现了不同类型的农民工。按其居住地和从事职业的不同,可以划分为在乡在土型、在乡离土型、离乡离土型、离乡在土型四种类型。在乡在土型农民工既在家乡附近的企业打工,又经营土地,二者所得为其经济来源;在乡离土型农民工在家乡附近的企业里打工,不再经营土地,完全把打工收入作为经济来源;离乡离土型农民工离开家乡到外地打工,完全和先前的承包地脱离关系,打工收入为其经济来源;离乡在土型农民工虽然离开家乡到外地打工,但家庭承包地仍然经营着,二者所得为其经济来源。文章的目的在于更深入地研究农民工,认识不同类型农民工的特征、存在的主要问题、需求,为有关部门的科学决策提供依据,有效地解决农民工问题。     

农民工生存现状与和谐城市构建

城市化进程中的民工潮是中国由传统农业社会向现代工业社会过渡的大势所趋。随着城镇二三产业发展加快,农民工进入城市的人数逐渐增多,已经事实上成为城市建设者和生存者的一员（社会阶层）。但在城市GDP大幅增长的同时,农民工与城镇居民在现实生活方面的差距却越来越大,已经严重地影响到社会的稳定发展。当前,农民工的生存、发展同题应当引起各级政府部门的高度重视。只有真正做到农民工在政治权益、经济待遇上的公平、公正,才能保证社会的和谐发展。     

Life Satisfaction of Rural Migrant Workers in Urban China: The Roles of Community Service Participation and Identity Integration

Abstract

China is home to approximately 245 million rural-to-urban migrant workers. The influx of migrants into urban areas has posed various challenges for local social service systems. Recently, increasing number of community services have been developed to meet the growing service demands from the migrant population. However, whether increase in community service use results in improved wellbeing among migrant workers remains critically unexplored. As such, this study examines the role of community service use in migrant workers’ life satisfaction and the potential mediating effect of identity integration in Shenzhen, China. Bootstrapped models were adopted to examine relationship among variables. Drawing from a sample of 1,087 rural-to-urban migrant workers, we found that community service use is positively correlated with both identity integration and migrant workers’ life satisfaction. Moreover, identity integration served as a partial mediator between community service use and life satisfaction. The mediating effect of identity integration was found to increase with age. This study highlights that diverse services should be implemented to address divergent needs of migrants in different age groups. Community service can also serve as a vehicle to foster integration among migrant workers in host communities, especially for older age groups. Future studies may further investigate the relationships between community social capital, community social support, quality of community-based organization and frequency of service use so as to optimize the life satisfaction of migrant workers.     

教育公平视野下的农民工子女教育

农民工是我国改革开放和工业化、城镇化进程中涌现的一支新型劳动大军。农民工子女与城里的同龄儿童相比面临着教育不公平的巨大难题。农民工子女教育问题,不是孤立的教育问题,是社会发展中、我国经济体制转型过程中出现的问题,在今后相当长的阶段中将普遍存在,这一问题的解决必须依靠整个社会的共同努力。     

外来工子女留守与流动的教育状况比较

在教育公共政策转型的社会背景下,经济因素和外来工家庭凶素是影响其子女在城乡之间进行就读选择的重要原因。外来工子女进入城市上学的成本是留守在农村的两到三倍;外来工子女流入城市就读的主要因素并非是农村的教育质量问题;外来工子女流入城市比留守在农村老家更容易失学。     

失业劳动力的就业渴望强度影响因素实证分析

本文基于重庆直辖市3000失业劳动力家庭人户调查的微观数据,运用排序选择logit模型估计了失业劳动力的人口统计学特征、人力资本、社会背景和社会政策．以及家庭经济状况等因素对其就业渴望强烈程度的影响。本文的政策含义在于：在健全失业保险的前提下,对失业劳动力适当的取消直接货币补偿而代之以非货币的扶持,可能更有利于刺激失业劳动力积极寻找工作和再就业。     

新型城镇化进程中农民工的城市融入:困境、归因与破解

城乡分治的管理体制,是导致我国"半城镇化"的最根本因素。土地城镇化先行,许多失地农民被迫上楼、进城务工,但是政府关于农民进城后生活的各种配套政策却并不完善。农民进城后不能完全融入城市,无论是农民自己还是城镇市民,都把进城农民当作了"过客",而非城镇的"主人"。在推进新型城镇化的过程中,要加强农民的技术培训以提高其进城后的生存能力,并且要发展以农民为本、促进城乡文化一体化的农村文化,使农民进城后在生活上、心理上更易融入城镇生活,更重要的是改革城乡分治体制,实现以"人"为核心的城镇化。     

农民工子女留守原因分析

农民工子女留守农村是国家现行城乡分割的二元体制的结果,也是城乡两种不同社会与文明推拉合力作用的产物,同时是作为父母的农民工在迁移流动中的理性抉择与意识建构。城市生存境遇、乡村归属意识及城乡分割的义务教育体制等是农民工子女留守的重要因素。解决农民工子女问题,需要城乡相关体制的建立。     

新闻报道常规与弱势社群的公共表达——广州城市报纸(2000～2002)对"农民工"报道的量化分析

文章以广州市的4家日报为例,采用量化分析的方式对我国当代城市报纸对"农民工"这个弱势社群的新闻报道进行了实证考察.分析的理论关注点主要集中在城市报纸是否为"农民工"这个弱势社群的公共表达提供了机会和空间?笔者尝试运用3个量化指标,力图勾画出我国当代城市报纸在"农民工"新闻报道上的总体现状,并揭示城市报纸为弱势社群提供公共表达的表现.在实证考察的基础上,评析了当前我国城市媒体在弱势社群新闻报道上的已有优势和不足,提出了在新闻常规实践中开拓弱势社群之公共表达的具体方式.     

Producing mobility: visual narratives of the rural migrant worker in Chinese television

This paper employs literatures of mobility to explore the ways which rural migrant workers in China are represented publicly via television drama. Through an analysis of the popular serial Mingong, the paper examines the underlying politics of contemporary migration in China through three themes: the territorialisation of rural and urban spaces; the embodiment of boundaries via corporeal practices and subjectivities; and the politicisation of rural migrant desires. This analysis demonstrates the significance of television in crafting discursive understandings of mobility and migrants that are suffused with contemporary governmentalities of generating but also managing and excluding migration.
