The Role of Migrant Workers
There is no denying the fact that the role of migrant workers has been a controversial topic in China. Some people may claim that migrant workers are sources of troubles and social instability. Others, however, may think differently.
Personally, I do agree to the statement that migrant workers have made a great contribution to the prosperity of cities. In Beijing, for example, thousands of migrant workers are working on the construction sites. They are really hard working. Without them, the city could not have developed at such a high speed. Apart from the construction work they take, migrant workers also help to improve the community services, such as cleaning, repairing work, and household work. They help make the city clean and nice, and they also help many families with tedious work.
Certainly, migrant workers have also brought about some problems. For instance, the public transport becomes crowded, and from time to time, it is heard that some migrant workers commit crimes. But, in my view, as long as effective measures are taken, these problems will be solved properly and migrant workers will surely make greater contribution to cities.
