“农民工”是指具有农村身份却在城镇务工的劳动者,其作为社会主义市场经济下的特殊群体已引起了中共中央、社会各界的广泛关注。切实保障农民工合法权益,改善农民工就业环境,引导农村富余劳动力合理有序转移,对于促进城乡协调发展、全面建设小康社会,对于维护社会公平正义、建设社会主义和谐社会,都具有重大意义。 “Migrant workers” refers to laborers who have rural status but work in urban areas. As a special group under the socialist market economy, they have drawn widespread public concern from the CPC Central Committee and other sectors of the community. Effectively safeguarding the legitimate rights and interests of migrant workers, improving the employment environment for migrant workers and guiding the rational and orderly transfer of rural surplus labor force are of great significance for promoting the coordinated development of urban and rural areas and building a moderately prosperous society in all respects, and for maintaining social fairness and justice and building a harmonious socialist society.
