In the blink of an eye
Coming to April 2024, the era of rapid development of science and technology
A puzzling phenomenon was discovered: in the factory, those busy figures were no longer young men and girls, but were replaced by a group of 40+ middle-aged people.
I remember that more than ten years ago, young faces could be seen everywhere in the factories in Shenzhen, Guangdong.
With dreams, coming from all directions, for life, for the future, swaying the sweat of youth on the assembly line.
Nowadays, young people are rarely seen in these factories.
What's going on here?
Go deep into the factory and communicate with these middle-aged workers to try to uncover the truth behind this strange phenomenon.
I have found that with the change of the times, young people have a wider range of choices.
They are no longer tied to the assembly line of the factory, as they used to be. Through mobile phones and the Internet, they see the outside world and see different ways of life. Many young people are pursuing their dreams, choosing to learn a trade or start a business and become a boss.
At the same time, the development of the Internet has provided more opportunities and possibilities for young people.
You can show your talent through the self-media platform and achieve economic independence through live broadcasting. These emerging industries are not only well-paid, but also relatively free-flowing, attracting a large number of young people to join.
There are also some young people who choose more liberal professions, such as food delivery, express delivery, etc.
These jobs, although hard, pay relatively well and have relatively free time. They prefer to choose a more flexible lifestyle than the strict time requirements and boring work content in the factory.
Why do 40+ middle-aged people choose to work in factories?
Through my conversations with them, I learned that this group of people often faces more stress in life. They have to raise their children and support the elderly, and their living burden is heavier. Working in a factory is hard, but it is relatively stable and can provide them with a certain amount of income security.
With the development of science and technology, the production line of the factory is gradually upgraded.
While some simple, repetitive tasks are replaced by robots, a pool of experienced workers is still needed to operate and maintain the equipment. With years of work experience and skilled technology, these middle-aged workers have become an indispensable force in the factory.
This strange phenomenon reflects the change of young people's concepts and the diversification of career choices under the changes of the times, and reflects the helpless choices made by middle-aged people in the face of life pressure.
We should also note that this phenomenon is not entirely negative.
It prompted us to think about how we can provide more career options and development opportunities for people of different ages, so that everyone can find a lifestyle that suits them. At the same time, we should also pay attention to the living conditions and needs of middle-aged workers, and provide them with a better working environment and welfare benefits.
In this era of change, more people are able to find their own happiness and satisfaction.
Whether it is a young dreamer or a middle-aged stickler, they all deserve respect and attention. Working together for a better future.
