With the continuous improvement of our quality of life, more and more people choose to leave the countryside, which has caused the phenomenon of "wife shortage" in rural areas.
So what about these phenomena in the countryside? Are these phenomena good or bad?
The land was largely deserted
Compared with the cities, every household in the countryside can get a large amount of land, almost all of them rely on farming to live, all rely on the heavens to enjoy food, once there is a famine, a hard year's work can only meet the food and clothing.
In addition, farming is also quite hard, and it is often necessary to pay attention to the growth of crops, and the older generation can endure such hardship, but today's young people are not willing to endure these hardships.
So they chose to come to the city to make a living, although the work is still hard, but they have a stable monthly salary, and the benefits are much better than in the countryside.
Since a large number of rural people choose to live in the cities, there is a serious imbalance in the rural population, and in some villages there are almost no young people, but only some old people.
Only during the New Year and festivals, the countryside will really be lively, but it will be lively for a few days, and when the New Year is over, the countryside will be deserted again.
After all, no one wants to marry to the countryside to endure hardship, and there is also a phenomenon of no one cultivating the land, resulting in a large amount of wasteland in some rural areas.
In order to avoid this, there are also many people who rent out their land to other people, which is also considered land reuse.
Loss of educational resources in rural areas
Increasing urbanization has led to a massive exodus of young people from rural areas, who have chosen to settle in the cities after earning money in the cities.
The children they give birth to will also remain in the city and thus receive an education in the city.
This is actually partly due to the fact that rural education resources are still somewhat insufficient compared to those in cities, after all, most teachers prefer to stay in cities rather than in rural areas.
As a result, both students and teachers choose to leave the countryside, which leads to a lack of educational resources in rural areas.
And many parents want to "hope that their son will become a dragon", and want them to have a good grade, a good job in the future, so as to enjoy life.
They prefer to send their children to the cities rather than the lack of teachers in the countryside.
The decline in the number of children in rural areas has led to a brain drain, but the mainland is vigorously developing urbanization, and I believe that everyone's life will get better and better.
Gaps in employment opportunities
Compared with rural areas, cities are quite prosperous, for example, in first-tier cities, even at two or three o'clock in the morning, they are still bright, and many rural areas basically press the pause button after dark, and most families choose to sleep.
Even on the road, it is quiet, and although many people yearn for it, there are not many job opportunities, and it is completely different in the city.
In addition to more employment opportunities, their welfare benefits will far exceed those in the countryside, they can use the money earned from part-time work to return to the countryside, in addition to buying houses in the city, there are many people who have built several floors of houses in the countryside, so that they can live in spacious houses when they go home during the holidays.
According to Guangming.com, 12.44 million new jobs were created in cities and towns on the mainland, and this number is still increasing, some of which are coming from rural areas to work in cities and towns.
Although the cities provide us with more jobs, we should not forget the countryside, let alone the parents who raised us, and go home to see them more often when we are not busy.
Of course, if you have the ability, you can also bring the elderly to live in the city.
