Recently, in a video about "low wages are the best protection for the bottom", Huo Zhenxian said: "Paying wages to the bottom is to protect the bottom, that is, to make the bottom unmotivated, that is, to make the bottom unmotivated", this passage has aroused many people's discussions, some people feel that what Huo Zhenxian said has a certain truth, and some people feel that Huo Zhenxian's words are not quite right.
So, does it make sense for Huo Zhenxian to propose that "low wages are the best protection for the bottom"?
1. The negative impact of low wages on the bottom.
1. The impact of low wages on the quality of life of the bottom.
The wage level of low-level workers has always been the focus of social attention and an important reference for a country's economic development, because the level of wages is related to the vital interests of the majority of workers and is also related to social stability and development.
It can be said that the wage level is not only related to the quality of personal life, but also to the stability and development of the whole society, so the wage level should receive more attention and attention.
Low wages not only affect the quality of life of workers, but also may lead to a further widening of the gap between the rich and the poor, resulting in an unfair flow of social resources and hindering the realization of social fairness and justice.
In addition, it may also lead to the emergence of some undesirable social phenomena, and may even lead to social instability, so the impact of low wages on the bottom is very large.
Of course, raising wages should not be raised blindly, but should be reasonably adjusted according to the cost of living and the contribution of workers.
2. The negative impact of low wages on the bottom.
(1) The basic quality of life of low-level workers.
Low wages have affected the basic quality of life of workers at the bottom, because the cost of living is getting higher and higher, while the wages of workers at the bottom have not increased much.
As a result, their wages are difficult to cover their living expenses, which means that their quality of life will be affected to some extent.
For example, low-level workers may not be able to buy more books for their children or enroll them in more interest classes because their wages are too low, resulting in a certain degree of restriction on children's learning resources, which will also affect children's learning to a certain extent.
In addition, the low wages of low-level workers are also not conducive to their physical health, which may lead to unhealthy diet due to financial constraints, or may not be able to see a doctor in time due to economic difficulties, which has an impact on their physical health.
(2) The development of low-level workers is limited.
Low wages can also have a negative impact on the personal development of workers at the bottom, because the wages of workers at the bottom are too low, their financial resources are limited, and they may miss out on some good development opportunities because they do not have money.
In addition, they may not be able to improve their skills due to lack of money, which will affect their personal development.
2. Why do we advocate raising wages?
Is it reasonable for Huo Zhenxian to say that "low wages are the best protection for the bottom"? Why should we advocate raising the level of wages?
1. "Low wages are the best protection for the bottom" deviates from the concept of "people-centered".
As a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, Huo Zhenxian's remarks caused dissatisfaction in the society, and some netizens said: Huo Zhenxian's remarks completely deviated from the concept of "people-centered", because low wages not only have an impact on the quality of life of the bottom, but may also lead to the further widening of the gap between the rich and the poor, which is not the best protection for the bottom, but the abandonment of the bottom.
In addition, some netizens said: Huo Zhenxian's words also make people feel the country's indifference to the bottom, and people feel that the state is exploiting laborers and enslaving laborers.
Therefore, the state should pay more attention to the wage level of low-level workers, so that workers can have a decent life, so that workers can have a self-motivated and motivated life.
2. The negative impact of low wages on the bottom.
(1) Low wages have led to a further widening of the gap between the rich and the poor.
Is there any truth to the saying that "low wages are the best protection for the bottom"?
Of course, there is no reason, and the essence of this sentence is to justify the exploitation of laborers, because the wages of laborers are too low, so the state has to constantly defend the income of laborers.
However, if wages continue to be so low, it will not only affect the quality of life of workers, but also lead to a further widening of the gap between the rich and the poor.
At present, the gap between the rich and the poor is already very large, and if the low wages are not adjusted, then the gap between the rich and the poor will be further widened, which is very unfavorable to social stability and development.
In addition, if the gap between the rich and the poor widens, then the flow of social resources will become more and more unfair, which is very detrimental to the realization of social fairness and justice.
(2) Low wages are not conducive to the flow of social resources.
Nowadays, many low-level workers are very self-motivated, but because their wages are too low, their development is limited, and their quality of life is affected, so they are likely to choose to go out to work.
But if the wages are too low, then their income will be difficult to meet their life, which will lead to their income not enough to support them.
Especially when they go out to work, there are some unscrupulous bosses who may choose to default on wages, and these workers have nothing to do, so it will lead to their wages not being paid in time.
In this way, their lives will be affected to a certain extent and they will not be able to sustain their lives and their families will not be able to sustain them, which will lead to problems in their families and can also lead to problems in their spirits.
Therefore, the flow of social resources will become more and more unfair, which is very detrimental to the development of the whole society.
3. Raising wages is conducive to achieving common prosperity.
Therefore, while raising the level of wages, it is also necessary to intensify the investigation and punishment of low wages and impose heavy penalties on those bosses who are in arrears of wages, so as to protect the legitimate rights and interests of workers and promote social fairness and stability.
Raising wages can not only protect the legitimate rights and interests of workers, but also drive social employment, increase consumption, and stimulate economic growth, thereby benefiting the whole society and achieving the goal of common prosperity.
Because only when the whole society is rich, will there be more consumer demand, will it drive the development of more enterprises, and thus drive more people to work, so that a virtuous circle will be formed.
epilogue
Therefore, we should raise the level of wages, protect the legitimate rights and interests of workers, and provide a fair social environment, provide fair education and employment opportunities, so that everyone can have a decent chance to live.
