According to the report, despite the great pressure of life in a city like Beijing, 90% people are still willing to stay. For migrant workers, the purpose of many people coming to Beijing to drift north is not to settle down and become "Beijingers". For them, many people value Beijing's huge employment demand and high-quality educational resources.
People used to talk about cities like Beishangguangshen and Shenzhen. It is the ultimate goal of migrant workers to settle in first-tier cities. However, for megacities with a population of more than 5 million, even Beijing locals have to go through layers of review to buy a house, let alone people who are employed and working outside.
On the one hand, because of the high threshold for settlement, on the other hand, the unattainable housing prices, many migrant workers who eventually want to buy a house have completely given up the idea of buying a house. Now, for most migrant workers, not everyone regards hukou as their goal of going to first-tier cities. Many people are more interested in getting a job with higher salary, so that children can enjoy better educational resources.
For foreigners who choose to go to Beijing for employment, it is very common to take their families with them, because many people will choose to take their families with them considering their children's schooling and usual care. For this group of migrant workers, many people's knowledge level is not very high, the employment demand in the second and third lines is limited, and the job choices are relatively limited.
As a first-tier city, Beijing has a relatively fair employment environment and a relatively perfect diversified employment development, which can also meet the employment needs of a large influx of migrants. On the other hand, when it comes to educational resources, first-tier cities have obvious advantages. There is a phenomenon that we can detect every year. Nowadays, there are more and more students who can be admitted to domestic first-class universities such as 985, 265, 438+065 and 438+0. There is even a saying that children born in Beijing are destined to win at the starting line from the moment they are born.
It is also a hot topic that it is difficult for rural children to get into good schools, which is why educational resources have such an important position in many people's minds. For migrant workers in Beijing, their children may only receive education for a period of time, but even for a period of time, they are trying their best to strive for the best for their children, because they know very well that the gap in educational resources may not be visible for a year or two, but after a long time, they will find that the gap between themselves and other children is getting bigger and bigger.
For most migrant workers, settling down is a distant dream. Living in Beijing is expensive, stressful and fast-paced, but 90% of people still choose to stay. They know that the employment environment here is better, fairer and more transparent. They know that the education level here is one of the best in the country, and it is easier to find a job with higher salary. It is not easy for children to attend a good primary school here, but once they are admitted, they may win at the starting line.
Just because everyone knows the pros and cons, life is unfair. Many people live in the basement and eat instant noodles every day because they are still fighting for the so-called fairness for themselves and their children.
