Fight for fair treatment for ordinary people at the grassroots level, who says that untouchables are not worthy of a wage increase?
Huo Zhenxian, a famous economist, said, "Maintaining low wages is the best protection for the grassroots, and high wages are not good for ordinary people, so don't give them a wage increase!" These words should not come from the mouth of an economist, and the economist's development perspective should serve the people, not go against the will of the people. If the economist's views are all against the will of the people, then he is a pseudo-expert.
The idea of a well-known economist to raise wages for grassroots workers has caused widespread controversy. However, it is important to be clear that raising wages for grassroots workers is not a disadvantage, but rather a measure to ensure that they enjoy the social protection and dignity they deserve.
As we all know, grassroots workers are a solid force supporting the functioning of society and the core of promoting the country's economic development. However, many grassroots workers face tremendous life pressures, and problems such as low wages, long working hours, and lack of fair treatment often plague them. If we maintain low wages, I am afraid that we will not be able to solve the actual plight of grassroots workers, and even hinder the healthy development of the whole society.
First of all, wage increases are not simply a simple injection of money into the pockets of grassroots workers, but also a fair reward for their efforts and contributions. There is no doubt that grassroots workers create tremendous value for society in their respective jobs, and it is their hard work that keeps our cities running as normal and the country's economy growing. Therefore, raising the wages of grassroots workers is a legitimate reward for their selfless dedication, so that they can better meet the needs of themselves and their families, and thus pay more attention to the quality and innovation of the work itself.
Second, high wages will not only improve the living conditions of grassroots workers, but will also have a positive economic effect. First of all, raising the wages of grassroots workers can bring about consumption upgrades and promote the continuous expansion of the consumer market. More disposable income will encourage demand for goods and services from grassroots workers, which in turn will drive a booming social economy. Second, high wages help to improve the quality of life of grassroots workers, stimulate their enthusiasm and creativity, and thus improve production efficiency and business competitiveness. This will promote the optimal allocation of resources for the whole society and achieve sustainable economic development.
Finally, raising the wages of grassroots workers will have a positive impact on the overall social order and stability. The existence of low wages often leads to dissatisfaction and resentment among grassroots workers, and even leads to instability. In contrast, appropriately raising the wages and benefits of grassroots workers can help enhance their sense of social belonging and satisfaction, and reduce social contradictions and inequality. This will create a more harmonious and stable environment for society and contribute to the comprehensive development of the country.
End:
To sum up, raising wages for grassroots workers is not an unfair treatment for them, on the contrary, it is a manifestation of respect and value to grassroots workers. By raising the income level of grassroots workers, we can solve their living difficulties, promote economic development, and maintain social order. We should deeply understand that only by guaranteeing reasonable wages for grassroots workers can we promote a virtuous circle in the entire social development process and achieve the goal of common prosperity. Therefore, when formulating social policies, we should pay attention to the care and protection of grassroots workers, so that the untouchables can remove the label of poverty and become ordinary people who are truly respected and cared for by the society.
