The first is the concept of flexible employment. The so-called flexible employment means that there is no formal employment relationship between individuals and any unit, and the occupation distribution is roughly in these aspects, such as online car drivers, take-away workers, courier brothers, migrant workers and self-media bloggers.
It is not difficult to see that some of these groups do have high incomes, but also for freedom, such as anchors with goods and well-known knowledge-based comment bloggers. However, the proportion of such people in the 200 million flexible employees is quite small, and most flexible employees earn hard money, even precarious. For example, migrant workers, network car drivers and so on. It's all too casual, and there are jobs such as courier brother and takeaway. Don't look at the shuttle downtown every day. In fact, both personal safety and occupational risks are considerable.
So why are there so many flexible employees? Some people say it is affected by the epidemic. Objectively speaking, there are some factors, but not entirely. More importantly, it is related to the economic development cycle. Looking at the data, the employment situation is not so optimistic since 20 18. The reasons are divided into the following two points.
First, the rise of artificial intelligence. In the past, many enterprises needed manpower for many jobs, that is, a radish and a pit. Since the rise of artificial intelligence, some jobs can be replaced by machines with high efficiency and low cost. Enterprises no longer need so much manual work, forcing enterprises to continuously reduce wages and lay off employees, and a large number of ordinary people are unemployed.
Second, the employment structure has changed. It is often said that with a degree, there is productivity, which used to be the case, because talents were scarce at that time, and now there are more and more highly educated talents. This year, the number of college graduates has exceeded10 million, more than the birth population.
In this context, it can be said that there is a surplus of talents. In the case of a large choice of employers, which specialty and general undergraduate are very common, and others with lower academic qualifications are directly blocked out. In other words, people with college degrees may not be able to find satisfactory jobs now, and the competition is too fierce.
So most people can only choose flexible employment to survive. After reading the above, it is not surprising that there are not many people who really yearn for freedom behind the 200 million flexible employees. Too many people are helpless, and the truth may be a bit cruel. We need to work harder and study harder to get a place.
