对农民工不公平境遇的社会伦理回应

The Sociological and Ethnical Response to Unjust Treatment That Contemporary Chinese Peasant Workers Suffer From

农民工是介于农民和工人之间的一个社会群体,他们既非纯正的农民又非真正意义上的工人,这决定了这个群体的尴尬境地。农民工受到的不平待遇主要有三:农民工的薪金不能得到及时和足额发放;农民工的子女不能接受正常的教育;农民工的人格受到不同程度的歧视。农民工及其下一代人所遭遇到的不公平现象不是凭空产生的,它有着特殊的历史、社会背景。“农民工”是城乡二元体制的产物。农民工作为当代中国的弱势群体之一,按照社会公正的原则,需要政府及整个社会的关怀和理解,制度公正对于改变农民工地位将是根本性的;农民工契约意识的增强及其所供职的单位的职业伦理的完善将是基础性的;全社会尊重他人人格意识的增强将是持久性的。

Peasant workers are a social community between peasants and workers: they are neither genuine peasants nor genuine workers, which determines their embarrassing circumstances. Peasant workers suffer mainly from three unjust treatments: their stipend is not encashed adequately in time; their children do not receive normal education and their personality falls under discrimination to some extent. The unjust treatment peasant workers and their offsprings suffer from roots in specially historical and social background, which was the result of such dualistic system as rural-urban division. As the disadvantaged of contemporary China, peasant workers need solicitude and understanding from government and whole society according to principle of social equity, which will be fundamental for changing status of peasant workers. It is essential that peasant workers enforce their consciousness of contract and the unit they serve consummates its professional ethics and it will be everlasting that the whole society shows more respect to others' personality.
