Chapter 670 Population Movement
Mbeya City, No. 2 Middle School.
"Rod, where will you go after graduation?" Hagens asked.
Graduation season is here in the blink of an eye, and students graduating from East African middle schools will also face employment problems. Of course, those with top grades can stay on campus, but those are only a very small number of people, and most still have to choose where to go.
"Who knows! But according to my grades and family arrangements, there is a high probability that I will inherit the blacksmith shop from my father, or go to a factory. As for farming, I don't know how!"
"Oh, this is the advantage of mastering a craft. There is a high probability that people like me will go back to work on the farm in the village."
"Haha, I am actually only half-skilled. My father has not taught me systematically. The craftsmanship of the blacksmith. After all, the blacksmith shop is dirty and tiring. I basically don’t participate in the work when I go home every day, so Even if a son inherits his father's legacy, he must start from scratch, and this is also related to his grades. The better his grades, the more opportunities he has. The top ones can study abroad, followed by those who can go to university in China, and those who are in the top of the school can also I can assign good work.”
“You mean I’m a scumbag!” Rhode said resentfully.
"You are overthinking. My grades are not much higher than yours. Are we brothers? And the work in the blacksmith shop may not be much better than on the farm. Forging iron with a hammer is also strenuous work, and it is available all year round. , we can only rely on our family for the repair of ironwork in the whole village.”
“I don’t know where that guy Keld will go? I heard that his father is planning to put him in a government agency!”< br>
"It's probably not an important position. There is a high probability that he will work as a junior police officer under his father. After all, officials now have academic requirements. If he takes the civil service examination, Kelder will definitely not be able to pass it."
“The civil service examination is too difficult and the competition is too fierce. If I had good grades, I would also like to apply, but since I have no background and poor grades, it would be better to save the registration fee.”
In the social environment of East Africa, government workers must be more popular. , this is mainly reflected in the middle and lower levels of government personnel.
After all, once you reach the official position, you can live quite well in various countries, so it still depends on the treatment of grassroots personnel.
“It’s not bad to be a soldier, but the requirements of the navy are too high. Last year our school only recruited two people. I heard that the food in the navy is better than that in the army!”
"The army's food is already at the top level, and the navy's is just the icing on the cake, and you can get exposed to more things. Of course, the navy also depends on where it is allocated. If it is a remote place like the Southern Ryukyu Islands or the Comoros Islands, how can it be done? It’s not very bad!”
“Haha, the army is even worse. If you are assigned to Southwest Africa or the Congo rainforest, it will be very torturous, and you will have to face quite a few threats.”
< br>"That's better than ordinary people. After joining the army, the treatment will be the same. After retirement, you can also enjoy certain privileges and have a certain social status. This alone is enough, and now the conditions in the army have improved a lot. It’s good to be exposed to a lot of new things and gain a lot of experience.”
Factory construction has been frequent in East Africa in recent years, so more and more graduates can work in factories, which also represents an important step in the industrialization of East Africa. direction, people flow towards industry.
In addition to students, the East African government has also moved some people working in the east to the west. This is also one of the basic national policies in East Africa.
The population distribution across East Africa is uneven, especially in the western region, so population migration is very important, mostly based on job transfers. Mbeya City No. 1 Steel Plant
“This year our factory will send fifteen people to work in Harare to support the industrial development of the west. I still advise you to think more about it. I think the environment in Harare is no worse than Mbeya, and many heavy industries in East Africa will definitely be located in Harare in the future, because there are more resources in the west, so the prospects are much better than Mbeya." The director of a steel plant mobilized.
However, there were very few responders, which is normal. Those who can work at the No. 1 Steel Plant in Mbeya City have their families and families in Mbeya City, so naturally they don’t want to go to other cities.
“The distance from Mbeya to Harare is not that far, it only takes a few days, and it’s by rail. Everything has been arranged there, and we’re just waiting for the workers to move in with their bags. It is said that the steel production capacity of Mbeya City will definitely decrease in the future, but Harare City will continue to increase, which also means that it is more stable. Even if there is unemployment, there are now more job opportunities in Matabele Province than in South Salzburg Province. There are many, after all, Matabele Province is the first industrial province in East Africa.”
Being a worker in an East African steel factory is not a one-and-done thing. The last-place elimination system will regularly screen out a group of workers, so the factory director would say this.
"Director, you said that this is just messing around every day. The Mbeya City Steel Factory is not bad, so why are you thinking about sending people to the west."
"Huh, What do you mean by messing around? This is the country's grand strategy. Don't feel wronged. In fact, not only our No. 1 Steel Plant, but also government agencies, schools, other factories, and even villages are asking to transport people to the western interior. "< br>
“The purpose of this is also obvious. The population in the west is too small, so much land and resources are not utilized, so the development of the west naturally requires support from the east, and the conditions in the west have been improving in recent years, especially in Huo The basic conditions of Henzolen, Swabia and Matabele are no worse than those in the east, and even Matabele has the potential to surpass the Central Province.”
It is obvious that East Africa attaches great importance to Matabele Province, and this is also in line with the geographical location of Matabele Province. From Mbeya to the west, there are three central provinces, and this is the most resource-rich region in East Africa. One, so it can better connect the spillover industries and population in the east.
The spillover industries and population from the east are naturally forced by the government, because according to the population level of East Africa, the eastern region is actually far from exceeding its actual carrying capacity.
After all, the eastern region has more than two million square kilometers of land and a population of just over 20 million. Such a small population accounts for two-thirds of East Africa. The population density in the eastern region is the same as that of European countries. Totally nothing compared to that.
“The national consideration is naturally to better develop our country, so it is inevitable to support the west, and the west is not a dragon or a tiger’s den. There was a westward movement in the early years, but it has not been carried out in recent years. This is the slogan."
Go West. The movement was a product of East Africa ten years ago. At that time, the western provinces were the real wilderness. Now the results of the westward movement have long been reflected, including large-scale infrastructure projects such as the Central Railway, which have improved the living environment in the west. This is the reason for the great industrial changes in East Africa now.
However, as time goes by, the westward movement has gradually lost its voice, but the policy has been steadily advancing, which is also related to the decline in the immigrant population in East Africa.
"It is easy to go to the west now, but it may not be easy to go in the future. Opportunities are for those who are prepared. There are definitely more opportunities in the west than in the east, so think more about your future. Anyone who wants to sign up can sign up with me tomorrow. If the people are not gathered in three days, then I can only assign them according to the old rules!”
As a factory director, you still have a lot of power, but if your subordinates take the initiative, everyone will look good.
