Xu Shanda, former deputy director of the State Administration of Taxation, once mentioned that for an ordinary family of five.
As long as one person in the family can find a stable job and earn 4,000 yuan per month, he can basically maintain the basic living needs of the whole family.
Xu Shanda's migrant workers can get out of poverty with a monthly income of 4,000
Xu Shanda, the former deputy director of the State Administration of Taxation, mentioned in a public interview that a migrant worker earns 4,000 yuan a month.
It can reach 50,000 yuan a year, which is enough for a family of five to have an income of 10,000 yuan per year each, so as to get rid of poverty.
However, this remark caused quite a bit of controversy on the Internet.
Netizens pointed out.
Migrant workers working in cities have to face various expenses such as daily necessities, transportation, insurance, medical care, education, and maintenance, even if they have food and shelter.
A monthly salary of 4,000 yuan, after deducting these necessary expenses.
There may be little or no left for the family, if not enough to support a person's basic livelihood, let alone eradicate family poverty.
In addition, the poverty alleviation standard in 2020 is an annual per capita net income of more than 4,000 yuan.
The income of migrant workers is not the same as net income.
Considering various expenses, the actual net income may be well below this standard.
This means that a migrant worker alone earns 4,000 yuan per month.
It is difficult to lift a family of five out of poverty.
In addition, the mainland has completely eliminated absolute poverty by the end of 2020.
The battle against poverty has been completed, all rural poor people have been lifted out of poverty, and all poverty-stricken counties have been lifted out of poverty.
In this context, the reference to the eradication of household poverty is anachronistic.
It was even thought by some netizens that there was something inappropriate.
Netizens were angry
If a migrant worker earns 4,000 yuan a month, he will earn 50,000 yuan a year.
It can make a family of five have an average of 10,000 per person, so that they can get out of poverty.
Does that really sound reasonable?
We might as well ask this Deputy Director Xu, is this the price level more than ten years ago?
In today's first-tier cities.
Expenses such as rent, education, and medical care, which one is not rising?
Earn 4,000 yuan a month, let alone feed a family.
Even a person's basic livelihood can be stretched to the limit.
Could it be that the deputy director's salary and pension are so high that he can turn a blind eye to these pressures of reality and throw out such high-minded arguments at will?
Perhaps, we should pay more attention to the deputy director's definition of poverty and his understanding of the cost of living for modern families.
Does he know how much pressure an ordinary family faces to survive in today's society?
Does he recognize.
Poverty is not just about insufficient income, it is also about quality of life, social security, educational opportunities, and more.
What do you think of the deputy director's remarks?
In the end, this is based on a deep understanding of the current state of society.
Or is it an empty talk that is divorced from reality?
