Recently, students are very concerned about the phenomenon of "ant tribe" and have discussed it from different angles. Some students even worry about their future and are afraid of becoming "ant tribe". The phenomenon of "ant tribe" is normal, because China has entered the stage of "popularization" of higher education, with nearly 6 million college graduates every year. It is impossible for so many students to become "elites" in society, and more students will become ordinary workers. After college students become ordinary workers, it is normal for a few students to live an "ant family" life when they grow up. So we should correctly understand this phenomenon: 1. In terms of quantity, the number of "ant families" is blindly exaggerated. It is estimated that nearly100000 college students have become "ant families" in Beijing, while there are nearly one million "ant families" in China. Such data is debatable. 2. Don't treat "ant tribe" as a vulnerable group. "Some people treat them as saviors." It is right to care about the vulnerable groups, but the "ant tribe" should not be regarded as the vulnerable groups. The premise of becoming a vulnerable group is that these people have no choice but to endure their present life. "Ant tribe" students are not like this. They choose this kind of life on their own initiative, so they are not a vulnerable group and do not need people's "pity". 3. Respect their choices. These students are willing to stay in big cities and live the life of "ant tribe" for the time being, which is their own choice. This right to choose life should be respected. It is not good to "judge", "interfere" and "make irresponsible remarks" about their lives. At the same time, don't criticize them too much why they don't work at the grassroots level. We should see the advantages of these students. They are not afraid of difficulties and strive for their ideals, which is worthy of respect. The "ant tribe" is much better than the "neet tribe", and so are those who are waiting for relief in the countryside. Living a hard life is the only way for outstanding talents to grow up. Young man, you can't succeed without hard work. There will be some excellent talents in the future "ant tribe". Students who are also "rich second generation" have to undergo hard training before they can become talents. Suffering hardships is an inevitable growth experience for young people. We can't deny our education just because of the existence of "ant tribe". There are some problems in education, but the great promotion of education to the development of the motherland is undeniable. Without the rapid development of education in recent years, it is impossible to provide a lot of talent support for the further development of society, and it is difficult to meet the people's thirst for "higher education". In developed countries, the number of people with higher education has reached more than 25%, while at present, we only have 6%. So students should have a correct understanding of the phenomenon of "ant tribe" and don't panic. I believe that with the development of society, students will be provided with better growth opportunities. "Ant tribe" is not an insect group, but a little-known huge group of "post-80s generation"-"low-income group of college graduates", which refers to college students who live in the urban-rural fringe after graduation because they can't find a job or their work income is very low. "Ant tribe" is a typical generalization of "low-income group of college graduates". Like ants, they are a huge group that is little known. The book Ant Tribe, with the same name, is a reading about this group. First of all, ants have high IQ. According to related research, ants have 250,000 brain cells, making them the smartest species among all insects. The high IQ of ants can be used to describe the characteristics of this group, such as "high knowledge" and "high education". Secondly, ants are social animals, and there are often thousands of ants in an ant nest, which is consistent with the characteristics of this group living in a compact community in a physical state. In addition, although ants are weak, if they are not given enough attention, they will also cause serious disasters (such as ant disasters), so some people call ants "weak and strong." These characteristics of ants are similar to the weakness of the group, with low income and no attention, which is easy to cause many social problems. In addition, ants have many advantages that are easily overlooked, and it is precisely these advantages that are highly similar to this group. For example, ants never give up: if we try to block an ant's way, it will immediately find another way. Either climb over, drill through obstacles or take a detour. Another example is the expectation feeling of ants: ants are looking forward to summer all winter. In the severe winter, ants always remind themselves that the cold will pass and the warm and comfortable days will come soon. Even the rare warm winter sun will attract their nesting ants to exercise their muscles in the sun. Once the cold current strikes, they immediately hide back to the warm nest and wait for the call of the next sunny day. In addition, there are ants' diligence and all-out working attitude and so on. These characteristics are the true portrayal of "low-income group of college graduates". According to the survey of Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Wuhan and Xi 'an, the number of people living in ant colonies in each city is quite amazing. Compared with employment and education, the sexual crisis of this group is more prominent. As post-80s-90s, they are sexually active. However, the marital status of ants is compared with cohabitation. Unmarried people account for 93% of the total number of respondents, married people account for 7%, and cohabiting with the opposite sex only accounts for 23%, which is more worrying than the sexual crisis of migrant workers. The sexual needs of the "ant tribe" are difficult to meet. Among 93% unmarried people, 5 1% have lovers, among which 23% have chosen the lifestyle of cohabitation, and only 33% have had sex in the last month. As far as Chinese adults are concerned, the average frequency of sexual life is about 1 time per week. However, 67% people in this group have not had sex in the last month. In contrast, it is difficult for' ant tribe' to meet their sexual needs, and the lack of interpersonal sexual activities is likely to be vented through single sex (such as masturbation) or other means, which will cause social problems to a great extent. Whether it is "NEET", "Moonlight" or "Ant", they all refer to several life concepts and living conditions of young people, especially college students who have just graduated from college and entered the society. I refer to them collectively as "three schools". In fact, these "third-rate" phenomena are not characteristic of China, but have already existed widely abroad. It's just that millions of college graduates flood into our society every year, and thousands of young people flow into big cities like Beijing and Shanghai every year. There can't be so many people abroad in scale, so this phenomenon is not so prominent abroad. Nevertheless, the "third-rate" phenomenon abroad has long attracted people's attention. In the United States, this group has a nice name-"young workers" (young migrant workers). A professional organization in the United States (Peter D.HartResearchAssociates) once conducted a follow-up survey on this group from 1999 to 2009. The survey covers many aspects of this group's life, such as employment, income, medical insurance and family life. According to the investigation, they published a report entitled "Young Workers-The Lost Decade". The report shows that young migrant workers are facing many difficulties and challenges on their way to society and independent life. Of course, the "young migrant workers" investigated in the report may not be completely consistent with our "three families", but the situation reflected in the report is similar to the confusion and challenges faced by young people like our "three families", especially the "ant tribe". Poor living conditions, lack of social security, great ideological and emotional fluctuations, frustration anxiety and other serious psychological problems, generally reluctant to explain the real situation to their families, communication with the outside world mainly depends on the network to vent their emotions. "Ant tribe" is mostly engaged in low-level and temporary jobs such as insurance promotion, electronic equipment sales and catering services. Most of them have no "three insurances" and labor contracts, and some are even unemployed and semi-unemployed, with low and unstable income. Compared with the huge number of "ant tribe" in real life, "ant tribe" is a little-known group in social attention. There are often media reports and academic studies on the theme of "migrant workers, laid-off workers and farmers", but there are few academic studies and media reports on the theme of "ant tribe". While the floating population has become the focus of news media and literary works (especially migrant workers' literature), it has increasingly become the mainstream discourse and focus of academic circles. At the same time, the "ant tribe" has been buried under the vocabulary of "young migrant workers", "floating population" and "school drift". They are not included in the management system of the government and social organizations, and rarely appear in the field of vision of scholars and journalists. To some extent, this is a neglected and forgotten group! This is a group that is rarely concerned and sympathized with! The absence of "ant tribe" in mainstream discourse does not mean that they are not important in real life! I hope this helps.
