将农民工群体转化为中等收入群体,是产业升级和经济转型的必由之路。目前,我国农民工群体人数超过两亿,他们从事着高强度且对社会而言必不可少的工作,但整体收入偏低,平均收入水平大致相当于城市居民的70%。让这一庞大群体获得体面收入,并让其中尽可能多的人迈进中等收入门槛,社会效益很大。 Transforming migrant workers into middle-income groups is the only way for industrial upgrading and economic restructuring. At present, the number of migrant workers in our country exceeds 200 million. They are engaged in intensive and socially necessary work. However, the overall income is low and their average income level is roughly equivalent to 70% of urban residents. Making such a large group obtain decent incomes and letting as many of them as possible move into the middle-income threshold, with great social benefits.
