To promote the citizenization of farmers, we should not encourage farmers to become citizens.

In order to promote the construction of a new type of urbanization, the central government proposed to further promote the reform of the household registration system and promote the citizenization of agricultural transferred population in an orderly manner. However, in recent years, in Xiangyang City, northwest Hubei, the author found that although farmers yearn for urban life, most people do not have a strong desire to "get rid of agriculture" completely, and many people walk in the amphibious state of "cities and townships, workers and farmers". All localities should, in the light of the actual situation, conscientiously analyze the obstacles to the citizenization of farmers, respect the wishes of farmers, not encourage them to grow up, and forcibly promote them by administrative means. The reason why "changing agriculture to non-agriculture" is difficult to appeal to many farmers is that:

First, there are many worries after consideration: the flexibility of amphibians in urban and rural areas is great. The vast majority of migrant workers in cities lack technology and skills, cannot compete for good jobs, do not earn much money all the year round, and have no confidence in urban life, for fear that they will have no land to grow in their hometown after being laid off. Farmers are most worried that they will lose contracted land and homestead after the conversion of agriculture to non-agriculture. Many young adults choose amphibious in urban and rural areas. When it is difficult to go out, they retreat to the countryside and go out for development as soon as they have the opportunity. Farmers say that although farming does not have much income, at least there is food and housing, which at least is a guarantee. The city is good, but you can't live without a job.

Second, the realistic pressure is great: the threshold of living in a city is high. In 2014, the average monthly income of migrant workers in Xiangyang was about 2000 yuan, and about 15 percent of them earned more than 3000 yuan a month, while the average selling price of commercial housing in each city and county was 3800 yuan per square meter in the same period. The price of commercial housing continues to rise, the renovation of villages in the city has led to a reduction in the supply of rental housing, and rental housing rents have also increased by 20% to 30%. Relying on the income of migrant workers, it is difficult for migrant workers to support their families in the city, send their children to school, let alone buy houses. Huang, a 26-year-old young man in Wuzhen Town, Nanzhang County, knows how to install water and electricity, so it is not difficult to find a job, but he can only save 20,000 to 30,000 yuan a year. Even if he does not eat or drink, it will take 10 to 20 years to buy a house. Among several young migrant workers surveyed by the author, when it comes to buying a house in the city, the first reaction is to "dare not even think about it." But they are eager to buy a house, and in their opinion, without a house, they can't take root in the city. Most of the new generation of migrant workers have certain cultural knowledge and skills, and unlike their parents, they are more willing to stay in the city and have more employment options, but buying a house is often a high threshold that they cannot cross.

Third, the front cover is deeply branded: there are many ups and downs of "washing feet" into the city. From the mid-1980s to the early 1990s, the policy of "selling hukou" was successively implemented in various cities and counties of Xiangyang. A farmer could "change agriculture to non-agriculture" for 5,000 to 10,000 yuan, and those of the right age could even recruit workers to enter the factory. Many people emptied their families and even borrowed money everywhere to "buy hukou." However, in a few years, many people were laid off before they could earn back their hukou money, so they had to go back to their hometown to work or go out to work with a "non-agricultural hukou". This situation is still fresh in the memory of many farmers. Many farmers say that we have contracted land and self-built houses, and that we can also enjoy the new rural cooperative medical system and the new social security. at present, the supply of water and electricity in rural areas is normal, the traffic conditions are improved, the housing level is improved, and the living environment is excellent, coupled with more and more national policies to benefit farmers. Rural hukou is also very "precious."

The citizenization of farmers involves too many problems to be achieved overnight, and it takes a long process to implement. Haste makes waste. Before farmers can not get a higher level of employment and social security, the process of citizenization of farmers can not be fast. This not only requires the government to conscientiously and meticulously do a good job in theoretical argumentation, planning and guidance, system improvement, and public opinion propaganda, but also requires the government to gradually eliminate the far-sighted and short-term worries in the process of citizenization of farmers, so as to facilitate the citizenization of farmers. we must not go beyond reality and use administrative forces to pull out seedlings and encourage them.
