An analysis of the causes of population mobility

Floating population refers to adult people of childbearing age who leave the counties, cities and municipal districts where their household registration is located and live in different places for the purpose of work and life. What are the causes of floating population?

Survival demand

The most instinctive need in life is to survive, to solve the problem of food, clothing, housing and transportation, in short, to survive and work for survival. In primitive society, labor became the first need of human beings. Due to the development and division of labor of social productive forces, mankind has entered a class society, and has experienced five social forms: primitive society, slave society, feudal society, capitalist society and socialist society. These five social forms have different production relations and different production mode characteristics. However, from the anthropological point of view, human beings all demand their own development, and will never be satisfied with food and clothing, and demand development and survival. They should not only eat well, but also dress beautifully. More importantly, they can become all-round people. In this case, the survival of the fittest is the direct cause of population mobility. For example, most ancient ethnic tribes chose lush aquatic plants and lived along the river banks to facilitate their survival.

Development and survival needs

At the end of the feudal society of floating population, capitalist factors have appeared, and workshops and handicrafts have appeared. Especially after the industrial revolution, capitalism, a brand-new mode of production, was completely different from that of feudal society. A large number of bankrupt farmers entered the factory, causing a large number of population movements. The bourgeoisie has established contacts all over the world, and the new continent has been discovered, especially America, attracting a large number of immigrants. The development of the United States can not be separated from the floating immigrants in the world, and this situation continues to exist now. The fundamental reason is that the United States is the most powerful country in the world. It is worth noting that Japan has also become a country with a large number of immigrants after World War II, because its economic strength has already ranked second in the world, second only to the United States. In addition, Canada, Australia and developed countries in Western Europe have also become countries where developing countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America immigrate to them. From the domestic observation, Shanghai has become the most populous city in China, with a population of180,000, and there is a tendency to continue to increase substantially, almost doubling that of10,000 before the reform and opening up. According to incomplete statistics, there are 4 million migrants, and other cities along the southeast coast, such as Hangzhou, Suzhou, Nanjing, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Xiamen and Zhuhai, have also poured in a large number of migrants, most of whom come from their places of origin. This situation will exist for a long time.

War factor

War is the continuation of politics and the most prosperous form of class struggle. Once the war starts, the army will inevitably expand and a large number of people will enter the army. Due to casualties and other reasons, the number of soldiers must be constantly supplemented. Chiang Kai-shek's civil war against the people has reached 8 million. September 2008 193 18 incident, in order to escape the war, a large number of people from three northeastern provinces flowed into the customs, and countless people fled abroad. Internationally, refugees from the invaded countries often flee to neighboring countries, which has formed the international refugee problem, and this problem will also exist for a long time because of the uninterrupted local wars in the world.

Policy factors

The world population migration policy is the embodiment of the party's will and a very important part of the national superstructure, which has a dynamic reaction to the economic base. During the Cultural Revolution, the movement of going to the countryside made millions of young intellectuals go to the countryside and formed a huge floating population. However, this movement has been proved by real life, and it cannot accelerate the process of realizing the four modernizations. As we all know, ten years of turmoil have brought our national economy to the brink of collapse. Population mobility has both advantages and disadvantages. Properly guided population movement can become a great material force to change the world. Take Shanghai as an example. 1978 Before the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, the most famous building in Shanghai was the International Hotel on the 24th floor of Nanjing Road. However, in the past 30 years, there have been more than 2,000 high-rise buildings in Shanghai, as well as roads, bridges, rail transit and other infrastructure. They have contributed their wisdom and strength to the construction of new Shanghai. It is no exaggeration to say that without the floating population from other places, there would be no new look of Shanghai today, which is different year after year and different in three years. Therefore, the rational flow of population and the strengthening of population management, especially the management of floating population, have been put on the work agenda that the government must attach importance to. Strengthening the management of floating population is by no means an expedient measure, but should be treated as a strategic task.
