The new generation of migrant workers frequently change jobs, is it "fine" or "blind selection"?

The new generation of migrant workers pursue the autonomy of work, and also have more expectations for salary, labor intensity, and working environment, so they have more frequent jobs than their parents. Experts believe that too frequently changing work is affected by multiple factors such as employment choices, but it is not conducive to professional development. It should help them improve their skills and find the right career development path.

On July 14, Liu Chenguang guarded the gate of the community with a strong sun. In April this year, 31 -year -old Liu Chenguang just changed this new job. From the Haidian District of Beijing to Chaoyang District, he was still a community security. How long can the job now do, he hasn't had to calculate.

The reporter found in the interview that the employment choices of the new generation of migrant workers are more diverse, pursue the autonomy of work, and have more expectations for salary, labor intensity, and working environment. In the case of insufficient sense of gain, they will choose to "vote with your feet" and "jump" to a more satisfactory job.

In frequent replacement work, some new generation of migrant workers anchor their professional path by constantly exploring and adjusting; some blindly change and "drift" without accumulating experience and strength. Experts believe that too frequently changing work is not conducive to occupational development. While respecting the professional choices of migrant workers, they should help them improve their skills and find the right career development path.

"Stable work is not easy to find"

"The intermediary said, I can change the place if I don't like to do it. I have changed it a few times." Liu Chenguang told reporters that since last year, he has temporarily settled in a number of districts such as Tongzhou District, Haidian District, Chaoyang District, Beijing, and all engaged in security guards. Work, this job is now found on the Internet.

In his opinion, work is not difficult to find, but it is not easy to find. He had been a restaurant waiter who had been in his hometown in Henan for three months. He resigned for his salary for every two months. He has been engaged in asphalt pavement construction and other work.

The reporter found in the interview that unlike his father's "fellow villagers", the new generation of peasant workers are accustomed to finding jobs through social software, social platforms, live broadcast rooms and other channels. The phenomenon of frequent changes and short -cycles is not uncommon in the new generation of migrant workers. The latest data from a recruitment website show that the average job -hopping cycle after 90 to 95 is 2.61 years, and the post -95s are shortened to 1.69 years. A survey by the research group of the Chinese Academy of Labor and Social Security Sciences in 2020 shows that young migrant workers who have not changed their jobs accounted for only 25.4%, and 7.4%of young migrant workers have changed 8 or more jobs. Essence

Liu Chenguang is not very satisfied with this job. From 7 o'clock to 19:00, he took turns with his colleagues in class, and he could rest in the lounge next to the community every one hour. There is also a problem of paying for him.

Compared to Liu Chenguang, 28 -year -old Chen Xinlei has changed more. After graduating from high school, he moved to many cities such as Shenzhen, Hefei, went to the assembly line, sat in the office, and worked as a work of ritual members, physical store sales, and e -commerce sales. Currently, he runs a nail decoration shop on a short video platform.

"Some work is not suitable for long -term drying, simple to get started, and it is difficult to grow." Chen Xinlei said. Although he is frequently replaced, he feels that he is not blindly obedient and blindly. "I want to find a job that match my ability, personality, and interest to make life truly stable."

"Vote with your feet" on the job search road

Regarding the frequent change of work of the new generation of migrant workers, Bao Chunlei, deputy director of the Employment and Entrepreneurship Research Office of the Chinese Academy of Labor and Social Security Sciences, believes that in an interview with the reporter of the Workers' Daily, compared with their parents, they are more longing for relatively free work. The value of value realization and the protection of rights and interests are also higher. "In the case of dissatisfaction, they will" vote with their feet 'to find new jobs. "

"Some workers even left for only a few days." Li Qi, who was a project manager in a traditional manufacturing enterprise in Shenzhen, Guangdong, told reporters that "the equipment in the factory is different, and in the period of emergency shipments, it needs to be needed. Overall to catch up, it is not so easy to take leave often. Some young people can't accept it. "

"Compared with the father, the new generation of migrant workers pursue more personality, more excluding strict employment management, and higher requirements for the comfort of the physical environment." The scope of the professor of the University of Economic and Trade at the Capital University believes that in an interview with reporters, there are also some new generations. Migrant workers tend to pursue short -term economic benefits and ignore long -term career planning.

In contrast, in order to "more stable", many new generation of migrant workers have tried to make changes. After many years in the workplace, Chen Xinlei has been at his own expense to train the school to learn software engineering and other technologies. After graduation, he was engaged in related sales positions and did not engage in technical work.

Bao Chunlei believes that some enterprises have poor employment conditions and do not match the expectations of the new generation of migrant workers; some companies tend to hire short -term workers in order to save costs. These are important reasons why the new generation of migrant workers change work frequently.

At present, with the development of the economy, the new generation of migrant workers have more employment choices. "The proportion of the tertiary industry has exceeded the second industry. Among them, the service industry's requirements for professional skills are relatively low, and the demand for occupational stability is relatively weak, which will affect the liquidity of the industry team." Essence Reasonable planning career development

"By changing jobs, young people can have new attempts." Bao Chunlei believes that the new generation of migrant workers no longer simply take work as a way to make a living. They not only pay attention to economic benefits, but also pay attention to the degree of matching of work and personal values ​​and development. Essence

"We have raised their salary of 500 yuan for young people who have done a good job, but after 8 months of work, he still left." The five companies of China Railway No. 1 Company, Yunlu Kunming 2nd Tunnel Export Operation Team, the No. 1 Duoshui Kunming Project Department The classmate Wang Shihua told reporters that there are not many young people who can stay on the project due to the relatively difficult environment and other reasons.

"As a" come over ", I understand them very much. They explore and adjust in different jobs, looking for their own career positioning and life path." Wang Shihua often encourages the new generation of migrant workers to learn a skill. "The road to the future is still long. We also hope that young people's work is getting better and better. "

"After the departure of the general workers, the job is about the same as before, and it has not been significantly improved. For us, the personnel are more risk for the manufacturing process." Li Qi said.

In order to retain employees, many companies have marked information such as "better environment", "buffet", and "buses" in the obvious position of recruitment notice. There are also salary for enterprises to raise salary for employees with potential development.

"For the new generation of migrant workers, the transfer of flexible to stable employment is a long -term law." The scope believes that it should help the new generation of migrant workers in reasonable career planning.

For many new -generation migrant workers who are not high and lack of skills like Liu Chenguang, there are still many things that need to be adapt and learn. Wherever he stood, Liu Chenguang has not considered it yet, but he believes that as he grows up, he will gradually stabilize.

"Enterprises should create a better employment environment, strengthen the support of employment, improve the guarantee of labor rights, and encourage employers to actively perform their corporate responsibilities." Bao Chunlei believes that it should also strengthen the guidance of the concept of youth skills and build a new stage of development. Features of human resources development system.
