I. Introduction

"Shortage of migrant workers" refers to the phenomenon of labor shortage in a certain area. In recent years, there has been a certain degree of "shortage of migrant workers" in the Pearl River Delta region, which has caused enterprises to fail to recruit enough workers. This paper aims to analyze the causes of the shortage of migrant workers in the Pearl River Delta and put forward corresponding suggestions.

Second, the Pearl River Delta "shortage of migrant workers" reasons

1 economic restructuring

With the rapid economic development in the Pearl River Delta region, industrial transformation and upgrading has become an inevitable trend. Many labor-intensive enterprises are gradually eliminated and replaced by technology-intensive and capital-intensive enterprises. These enterprises need relatively little labor force and high skill requirements, which leads to some low-skilled migrant workers unable to meet the job requirements, further aggravating the "shortage of migrant workers".

2. Treatment of migrant workers

The wages of migrant workers are an important reason for the shortage of migrant workers. Some enterprises in the Pearl River Delta region have low wages, serious overtime and insufficient welfare protection, and it is difficult to guarantee the working and living conditions of migrant workers. This has led many migrant workers to choose to leave the Pearl River Delta and seek better job opportunities in other regions.

3. Population aging

With the aggravation of population aging in China, the Pearl River Delta region is also facing the problem of decreasing labor resources. Many young people choose to stay in their hometown to work or start businesses, which leads to the imbalance between supply and demand in the labor market in the Pearl River Delta region and further aggravates the "shortage of migrant workers".

4. Migrant workers return to their hometowns to start businesses

In recent years, the state has strongly supported migrant workers to return to their hometowns to start businesses and issued a series of support policies. Many migrant workers saw the opportunity to return to their hometowns and chose to leave the Pearl River Delta and return to their hometowns to start businesses. This has also aggravated the "shortage of migrant workers" in the Pearl River Delta region to some extent.

Third, suggestions to solve the "shortage of migrant workers" in the Pearl River Delta.

1. Improve the treatment of migrant workers

The government and enterprises should work together to improve the wages and welfare of migrant workers. By setting a reasonable wage standard, reducing overtime and providing good accommodation and food conditions, more migrant workers will be attracted to employment.

2. Strengthen vocational skills training

The government and enterprises should strengthen vocational skills training and improve the skill level of migrant workers. By providing targeted training courses, we can help migrant workers master new technologies and skills, meet the demand of enterprises for highly skilled talents, and alleviate the phenomenon of "shortage of migrant workers".

3. Optimize the industrial structure

The Pearl River Delta region should speed up industrial transformation and upgrading and optimize industrial structure. By vigorously developing high-tech industries and modern service industries, we will create more jobs with high income and high skill requirements and attract more high-quality talents to come to work.

4. Improve the level of mechanization

Enterprises should increase investment and improve the mechanization and automation level of production process. By adopting advanced production equipment and technology, dependence on low-skilled labor can be reduced and the phenomenon of "shortage of migrant workers" can be alleviated.

Four. conclusion

The reasons for the shortage of migrant workers in the Pearl River Delta include the adjustment of economic structure, the treatment of migrant workers, the aging population and the return of migrant workers to start businesses. To solve this problem, the government, enterprises and migrant workers need to work together to attract more migrant workers and promote the sustained and healthy economic development in the Pearl River Delta region by improving the treatment of migrant workers, strengthening vocational skills training, optimizing industrial structure and improving the level of mechanization.
