He has worked as a bricklayer, plasterer and concrete worker.
After one or two years of proficiency, they can increase to 89000 yuan.
The average age of migrant workers was 41.7 years, an increase of 0.3 years over the previous year; The proportion of migrant workers aged 40 and below decreased; The proportion of migrant workers over the age of 50 continued to increase.
Who will take over? Who will build the house in the future?” Guo Yibing, the project manager with 20 years of construction site management experience, is worried about the future..
In 2020, the Ministry of housing and urban rural development and other 12 departments jointly issued the guiding opinions on accelerating the cultivation of workers in the construction industry in the new era, which proposed that by 2035, a large contingent of knowledge-based, skilled and innovative construction workers adhering to the spirit of model workers, labor spirit and craftsmanship should be formed.
Xu Jianmin, a 49 year old construction worker in Henan Province, has been working on the construction site since he was 19 years old.
“At present, the main force of the construction site is still the group of people who came from the countryside to work in the city in the 1990s.
According to the 2021 monitoring and investigation report on migrant workers issued by the National Bureau of statistics, the total number of migrant workers in China in 2021 was 292.51 million, of which 19.0% were engaged in the construction industry.
Does becoming a construction worker mean a narrower development space? In fact, it is not.
A reasonable construction workforce should mainly be young and strong workers, preferably under 40 years old, and only a small number of older workers.
That is to say, more than 40% of the young people of the right age have entered the society, and few of these young people ultimately choose the construction industry.
30 years ago, they were about 20 years old, and now they are old.
In recent years, China has been encouraging the cultivation of new industrial workers.
Many skilled talents have become industry pioneers by virtue of their skills, and their career development and living conditions have been greatly improved.
Most of the workers who walk into the construction site and work in the scorching sun are no longer young.
More than 20 high-rise buildings have been nearly capped.
Now, we can recruit all the workers in ten days and a half months through online and offline channels.
Various labor skill competitions and artisan evaluation activities have displayed the unique skills of many front-line workers and created a new worker image.
The phenomenon of “aging” is prominent.
As time goes on, the older workers gradually feel the strain.
“Those with slightly better family economic conditions are unwilling to come.
In contrast, short video production and network live broadcasting are more popular.
It’s very hard.” Huang Ming Liang said.
Families with better economic conditions are unwilling to let their children suffer.” At the same time, a variety of new occupations have emerged, and young people have more choices.
Only two of Liu Xiaoquan’s classmates, including him, choose to work in the front line after graduation.
Lin Xiuli, the employment guidance teacher of Guangxi construction vocational and technical college, frankly said that with the general improvement of living standards, most young people no longer have economic worries.
The age “fault” of construction workers appeared in Nanning City, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, near the Yongjiang River, and the railway Yuxi Junlin Bay project.
After becoming “masters”, they can earn 10000 yuan a month.
According to the data of cultivating new industrial workers, the gross enrollment rate of higher education in China in 2021 will be 57.8%.
According to Li Haifeng, deputy manager of Nanning rail Yuxi Junlin Bay project department, the salary of construction workers has been continuously improved in recent years.
Even so, there are not many young people willing to go to the front line.
Fan Yunlong, a teacher of Zhuhai Polytechnic vocational and technical school, said: “the impression of the society on construction sites is that the working environment is poor, not conducive to health, there is no technical threshold, and there is limited promotion space.
Nearly 400 workers work on site every day.
A variety of support and encouragement measures have provided construction workers with a stage and space to display.
“Ten years ago, when the recruitment information was released, we could recruit all the workers needed for a project in one day.
However, at present, the phenomenon of “aging” of construction workers is very obvious.
It is understood that there are no more than 30 workers under the age of 30 in the whole project.
He said that after the age of 45, he began to feel powerless, but he could not find someone to take over, and the pressure of life was great, so he had to keep working.
This summer, no fresh graduates entered the front line of the construction site.
Science and technology can improve construction efficiency.
In the Yifeng square complex building project in Xuchang City, Henan Province, workers over 50 years old account for half.
In July and August, how many of the construction graduates who left the school finally entered the construction site? In this sweltering summer, the reporters went to Guangxi, Henan and Guangdong to learn about the employment situation of construction sites.
According to the insiders, the traditional construction industry has a high labor intensity, and many types of work require high-altitude work, which requires high physical quality.
The younger generation is unwilling to join, leading to a shortage of young people and workers and a fault.” Huang Mingliang, chairman of Guangxi Huizhong Construction Service Co., Ltd., told the reporter.
Although the income of construction workers is relatively high, the monotonous and laborious characteristics are daunting.
It is more and more common for older workers to carry girders in construction sites across the country.
At the same time, the problem of “difficulty in recruiting workers” is also becoming prominent.
At present, the youngest worker of the project is 26 year old Liu Xiaoquan, who graduated from a college in engineering cost three years ago.
According to the data, Henan, as a major labor export province, currently has more than 5 million construction workers, of which about 50% are over 50 years old.
“In a few years, this group of workers will leave the stage.
Most of them come with relatively poor family economic conditions.” Li Haifeng said.
In Guangdong, the reporter learned from the Provincial Department of housing and urban rural development that there are 3.017 million workers registered in the construction workers management service information system of the Ministry of housing and urban rural development, of which 31.7% are over 50 years old and 58.5% are over 40 years old.
Young people who have just left school can earn 5000 or 6000 yuan a month as apprentices on the construction site.
Compared with the older generation of workers, young people have a higher level of education and can learn faster.
