Nowadays there are many problems faced by the young people in China including but not limited to being lack of education and necessary work skills training, low income problem, marriage problem, work immigration, overload of work pressure, the pressure on purchasing the apartments, breeding their children, raising their children, supporting for their parents, medical care problem and environmental problem. What is more important and horrible, young people are always easy to feel lost due to the above mentioned problems, they cannot find the meaning of their lives, they cannot image what lay ahead in their life in the future, they cannot see any effective way to achieve their own real dream, so that some of the young people become more and more depressed, passive and even anxiety.
The education and skills training may be the major of all the problems. In recent years, education develops very quickly in China. Our government and public pay more attention to set up and amplify the educational mechanism and try their best to strengthen the education level. But there are still many deep level problems that can restrict the development of education. The traditional education in China always focus on the delivery of the concept and theory to students but ignores the practice and creativity. This leaves students with less capacity for practical work or creative mind, in exchange for a diploma.
The overcharging problem has made it impossible for young people in the underdeveloped areas to receive normal education and skills training. If the young people being lack of necessary knowledge and skills, the opportunities they can get will be less and less. There is one more point, from young person’s point of view, the youth could not really understand the importance of education and skills training because of the limited of age and experience. They act as passive knowledge receivers and being lack of enthusiasm in learning. If young students are not motivated to learn, any education or trainings becomes an empty talk. Above all, it is obviously necessary to pay more attention to education and skills training.
Youth means fighting and enterprising, youth symbolizes optimism, innovation and openness. The youth will bring many positive effects on the poverty reduction projects. For the targeted poverty alleviation purpose, first of all we should create an effective mechanism that will enable and encourage local young people to continue to receive education and skills training so that they can acquire the most advanced knowledge in time, become an expert in a certain field and service in hometown construction. In the second place, we should encourage young people to innovation independently, support young people to start their own businesses and give them opportunity to exert their knowledge to work for poverty reduction with wide visions and novel ideas.
Moreover we should introduce relevant policy which attract high quality young talents to participate in poverty alleviation work. Since time is limited it is very difficult to train people, so let the existing talents back to hometown and leave on them seems to be a more effective method. Last but not the least we should guide young people to profoundly understand the work of targeted poverty alleviation and promote targeted poverty alleviation measures. Targeted poverty alleviation should not just be a slogan but also should be made the work fall down on reality.
At the meantime young people enjoy all kinds of advantages in education and skills training, they should also keep in mind that they are in duty to repay society and bear more social and historic responsibilities. The youth should heighten their own qualities and raise their professional skills in order to grow into an expert in some field or industry. Poverty reduction project need their professional suggestion and technical supporting. Young people should actively participate in the promotion of poverty alleviation policies. The youth is the hope of the future. We should take every single chance to increase their courage for future, to widen their mind and to let them become the cornerstone of the poverty reduction projects. Maximize the influence of the youth on poverty reduction efforts must be the most important task right now.
