What is the problem of agriculture, countryside and farmers?

"Agriculture, countryside and farmers" are the general names of rural issues, farmers' issues and agricultural issues.

After China joined WTO, it participated in international competition, which made the contradiction among agriculture, countryside and farmers more prominent. There are many ways to solve the problem, such as speeding up the structural adjustment, reforming the traditional agricultural management mode, and increasing the transfer payment of the central and provincial governments. However, we can't avoid the financial pressure of transfer payment caused by overcapacity, insufficient demand for commercialization, too few per capita resources restricting income growth and too large population base. Therefore, the key is to reduce farmers, accelerate the transfer of agricultural labor to non-agricultural industries, and promote the concentration of rural population in cities and towns. This will promote the commodity demand of agricultural products, promote structural adjustment, increase farmers' income from two aspects: increasing non-agricultural employment and rural per capita resources, and reduce the risks brought to agriculture by China's entry into WTO.

Why has the issue of agriculture, countryside and farmers become the focus of people's attention?

Affect social stability

According to the sampling survey of the National Bureau of Statistics and other ministries1/kloc-0, there are 16 internal organs of the party and government in each township, with an average of 158 people, 2-3 times more than the normal establishment; On average, each township has 19 subordinate units with more than 290 employees. The overstaffed dining crowd has brought heavy pressure to farmers, and some government agencies are heavily in debt and cannot make ends meet. This financial situation is one of the root causes of excessive rural fees. In addition, according to the report of the National Bureau of Statistics, the Gini coefficient in rural areas has expanded from 0.2 124 in 1978 to 0.336 1, which is much faster than that in cities (0. 16-0.295). Whether we can achieve the goal of building a well-off society in an all-round way in 20 10 depends on whether we can solve the "three rural issues" well.

If the "three rural issues" are not solved, it will not be conducive to social stability in the long run; In the short term, it is not conducive to the sustained and stable development of the national economy.

Surplus labor force; employment pressure

According to estimates, China's land only needs 654.38+0 billion agricultural labor at most, but at present, the total rural labor force is about 550 million, and there are still nearly 300 million surplus labor forces to absorb 654.38+0.2 billion. According to the current population growth rate and the labor opportunities provided, China will still face a serious labor surplus at least 40 years later. Many rural laborers can't digest it and have to move to cities and towns. How to solve the employment problem of 300 million people has become a huge problem in China's economic development.
