问答题 自2010年中央一号文件首次明确提出“新生代农民工”概念以来,“新生代农民工”群体一直是社会各界关注的热点,也是2010年“两会”上代表、委员们热议的话题。“新生代农民工,说实话我挺佩服他们,与我们这些上世纪70年代出生的农民工相比,他们身上具有很多值得珍视的优点,”全国首位农民工代表胡小燕说。胡小燕代表认为,与改革开放前期和中期的农民工大军相比,新一代农民工受教育程度明显提高,眼界开阔、知识丰富,对新技术、新思想的接受能力很强;同时,他们也有强烈的维权意识,熟悉和掌握法律武器,敢于主动维护自身合法权益;在求职时,他们也不再是仅仅考虑工资的高低,而是更加注重个人长远的成长空间。全国人大代表、来自重庆市的农民工康厚明说,新生代农民工普遍存在工作不稳定和存钱难的问题,这一方面由于工资偏低、工作偏累,难以吸引新生代农民工,另一方面他们又无法胜任工资高、技能要求高的岗位。康厚明认为,政府应加大对新生代农民工的培训力度,帮助他们适应技能要求高、待遇高的岗位。“很多年轻的农民工虽然还是农村户籍,但他们生在城市、长在城市,对城市的生活十分熟悉,不愿意也不能够返回农村生产、生活;但从另一个角度出发,目前我国很多城市却没有做好接受他们的准备,不论是教育、社保,还是养老、户籍转换,都存在重重‘门槛’,这让很多新生代农民工处境‘尴尬’。”胡小燕代表说。“在宁波工作的外来务工人员,在具有一定工作年限和养老保险缴纳年限之后,只要达到规定分值,就能落户了!”全国人大代表、宁波维科精华家纺有限公司制品分厂二车间质量员杨晓霞说,“这让新生代农民工有了实实在在的奋斗目标,有目标才能有动力,他们可以通过这个办法,名正言顺地成为城市的主人。”此外,“无地农民工”数量已经具有一定规模。“无地农民工”的存在主要有两个原因:一部分无地农民是计划外超生人口,他们受计划生育政策影响未能分到集体土地,还有一部分是农村土地30年不动政策实施后的新生儿。“无地农民”长大成人外出务工,就成了“无地农民工”。“无地农民工”的年龄层次基本都是新生代农民工的年龄范围。随着时间推移,这一群体的人数会越来越多。请根据以上材料,自拟题目,用700~900字的篇幅写一篇议论文。
