Fomer JPF's experience at UNU...

"The work allows you to peek into a large range of institutions and issue areas of the United Nations. Not only do you learn a lot about different working areas, but you can also access it from several angles, interacting with international civil servants, academics, and diplomats."

农民工到底该不该从哪里来回哪里去?

回国见闻两三事:
 
农民工返城,农民工失业,农民工问题,似乎成为了金融危机在国内的第一个立竿见影的直接受害者。在看看身边,每天的生活无时无刻都有农民工伴随的影子。从在家每天打扫卫生的阿姨到出租车的插头司机,从整天露天作业的民工到餐馆的服务员小姐,从宜佳门口的搬运工到买卖废品回收的小夫妻……几乎所有能够想到的上海人不愿意做的活但又和改善生活质量息息相关的工作都被农民工给包了。说到底,城市人口的生活是靠这些农民工改善的,提高的。但话又说回来,又有很多人说,外地人把很多竞争岗位给抢走了,公司企业的高层越来越多被外地人给占去了。这类人群似乎不在我今天讨论的范围之内,因为他们属于外地高等技术人才,和我所谓处在社会边缘的农民工的地位相去甚远。总之,在《财经》网上看到的农民工到底是返乡还是回城的议论,我不想在这提出一个解决方案,只是希望作为一个养生处优的上海人,应该在议论类似事件时应抱有一个相对客观的立场,不要一味用鄙视的目光和排外的情绪,抹煞了农民工对上海经济发展所做出的巨大贡献。就好比在国外,华人打工潮被受到排挤的时候,民族情绪就会情不自禁的涌上来一样。上海人一向高傲蛮横冷漠的脾气该改改了,别光指着外国人的鼻子骂,自己有时候该先照照镜子。
 
插头司机
据说如今在沪的插头司机当中,外地来的司机不允许开车,除非是开黑车,这没得说。原因是出租车公司遇到过外地人开着车逃走的情形,于是如今越来越多的崇明岛的农民来沪争抢出租车这个职位。出租车司机一个月的工资仅2000到3000元不等,做一天休息一天。出租车司机被骂得时候比被赞的时候多得多,碰不碰就是乘客投诉,车队礼仪抽查,停车违规驾驶被罚款。据说,巴士出租车的车队是不是得会抽查司机的礼貌用语,"你好","请不要忘记随身携带的物品",“再见", 如果漏说一个字,就罚100元,所以少说一个你好得罚200。还有出租车司机经常会遭到乘客蛮横不讲理,比如硬要上五名乘客,或者路口被叫车违规载客,不停车不载5名乘客要被投诉拒载,甚至被人身威胁,咋车窗损坏车的事情屡有发生。看似轻松的活其实很不讨好。
 
餐馆服务员
一天工作12个小时,每个星期休息一天,一个月1200的收入,要陪笑脸,整天站着,随时随地招呼客人。更不用说那些洗碗,清洁的活,他们统统包下来。
 
不管是插头司机,餐馆服务员,家政阿姨还是修马路的工人,大都和家人相隔甚远。时常是夫妻两人一起出来打工,女的作家政营业员或服务员,男的做体力活或是开车算是体面的了。孩子留在老家念书。赚的钱去掉基本生活费主要是为了给孩子读书用。他们医疗保障几乎没有,回去种田又不赚钱,化肥饲料拖拉机播种机等等费用扣除盈余无几。在农村如今混得好的只有那些做官的,贪污受贿的能把自己养的白白嫩嫩的。再加上粮食收成和天气因素影响关系较大,收入很不稳定,像一般家里有地的,租给别人种,一亩才租个200元。
 
一些小体会:
中国2008年农民工总数约为1.32亿人,占全国人口的10%。 再加上56%的农村人口,中国人10个里有6到7个还是农村户籍。
这些农民工要是返回农村,会大大增大农村就业压力。问农民,他们认为最有助于农村发展的是什么?他们回答,工业,如果一个农村有了工业,那么农村就能富起来。
中国的农村能耕地的地方越来越少,越来越多的人选择养猪而不是种粮食,因为盈利高。中国人口越来越多,耕地面积越来越少,以后粮食供应越来越依赖于出口,粮食安全问题成为越来越显著的问题。农村发达才是真正的富强,弃农从商只能带来短时间内的脱贫。城市化的种种弊端也日渐凸现,希望“三农”问题能真正的解决中国农村和农民工问题。
 
 
 
农民工的定义:
 
以种田出家,由于城市化进程的推进,进城打工没有城市户口但长期居住在城镇的以打散工为生的农民工人。性质是外来人口,没有城镇户口,打零工,生活保障相对不稳定的群体。
 
百度上给出的定义如下:
农民工是指具有农村户口身份而在城镇务工的劳动者,它兼有农民与工人二者的双重身份,主要指在第二、第三产业中务工的农民,其特征有三:一是持有农村户口,但在城市、乡镇企事业单位工作;二是拥有农村土地承包经营权,而以在城镇务工所得为主要谋生手段及生活来源;三是工作生活居所不稳定具有流动性,其生活工作居住总是随着务工场所的变化而改变。
 
天涯上给的定义如下:
一是在地域上从农村向城市、从欠发达地区向较发达地区的流动;
二是在职业上从农业向工商服务等非农产业的流动;
三是在阶层上从低收入的农业劳动者阶层向比其高的职业收入阶层流动。
 
农民工的数量:
 
上海:
上海统计局最新的人口抽样调查数据显示,2007年以来,沪农民工总数达到403万人,其中在野人数391万,就业率达到97,1:。
2007年,上海外来人口660万人,其中来沪农民工达到403万人,占61%。
2007年,上海常住人口达到1858万人。
 

祝欧洲生日快乐---Bon anniversaire, l'Europe!!!

    为什么要庆祝和我浑身不搭界的政治事件?原因很简单,我发誓要做世界的公民。
    目睹着法国各大媒体和报刊沸沸扬扬的讨论这下一轮总统大选之际,12位总统候选人名单已经在上个星期公布。总统竞选的前夕,不管是传统左派的Segolene Royal,或者是呼声较高的传统右翼候选人Nicolas Sarkozy,或者是中间派的François Bayrou,在大肆宣扬他们国内政策的时候,都几乎避而不谈及他们对欧洲政策的看法。作为欧盟的创始国和发起国,50年后的今天,在如此重大的政治事件中,竟然将欧洲问题不放在首要位置,着实让人心寒。
    在经济全球化带动政治地区化的联盟是一个历史机遇,也是一个不可逆转的趋势。只有充满信心的迎接挑战,而不是退缩和畏惧。逃避只是一时的,并非长久之计。全球化虽然带来种种弊端,但是要学会适应和在某些领域保护地区的差异性,而不是全盘否定,一味的排斥。
    说到底,我还是属于国际关系理论的新自由主义和新现实主义的拥护者,倡导经济自由化,超国家主义。学习政治是为了让政治在很多领域退出他不该拥有的角色,尽可能的扶持薄弱环节,而不是以干涉和掌控为目标。对于经济领域是如此,对其他领域亦是如此。
    尽管倡导自我调节化,但也不排斥在战略防御领域中的团结和联盟。比如,在移民潮全球化的今天,安全防御地方化已经失去它的功效,因此需要一个地区安全防御系统的整合,才能实现最大的安全效应。
    用一句话总结我的立场:
    Je participe à la politique pour la faire disparaitre.
   
   
 

以拯救地球的名义

 

为纪念联合国气候峰会在肯尼亚内罗毕闭幕

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

一些被掩盖的现实:

中国高居世界二氧化碳排放量的第二位,仅次于美国

到2010年,中国排放的温室气体将占世界总量的22.3%,将超过美国,位居第一


意识形态:

“有钱,我怕什么,我要什么有什么”—大多数先“富”起来的人如是说。

“中国凭啥不能享受现代生活?”东方早报2006年11月17号国际版标题

2500万人因气候变暖被迫离开家园——环境难民


一些假设:

一个世纪以后,上海将被大海淹没

如果六年前Al Gore当选了美国总统,今天的中国会不会名列全球温室气体排放量的首位?


深究原因:

工业化发展和现代化的生活模式追求

对温室气体排放无限制规范

环境保护和经济发展对立,以牺牲环境,换取经济利益

农村地区,庄家减产,环境代价的承受者


小小建议:

多种树,或者盆栽

多乘坐公共交通
