城市农民工是指常年或大部分时间在城市企业务工,但户籍仍在农村的一个社会群体,亦即人们通常所说的进城“打工农民”。他们在现行的户籍制度下仍被认定为农民,但他们已从农民中分离,不同程度地融入城市社会,不再从事农业生产,而是从事非农产业的工人。作为一个社会群体,城市农民工正在向工人阶级转化,已具备工人阶级的一般特征,是中国工人阶级的一部分。 农民进城“打工”是冲破体制约束和习惯 Urban migrant workers refer to peasants who work in cities for perennial or most of the time but still have a census register in the rural areas, which is commonly referred to as “migrant workers”. They are still recognized as peasants under the current household registration system. However, they have been separated from peasants and merged into urban communities to varying degrees. They no longer engage in agricultural production but work in non-agricultural industries. As a social group, migrant urban workers are now transforming themselves into the working class and have acquired the general characteristics of the working class and are part of the working class in China.
