More than 100,000 Chinese men working in Africa, why not want to return to China? The reason is realistic

 Of many people in Africa, the impression is poor and security is poor. In fact, it is true. Compared with China, Africa's economic level is indeed relatively backward, and even the development of the manufacturing industry is in a state of progress.

But in such an environment, more than 100,000 men in China actually went to Africa to work. What's even more amazing is that these men are even reluctant to come back after going to Africa. So what exactly do they do in Africa? Why don't you want to come back again?

1. Why Chinese men are reluctant to return home

 Reason 1: The African market is not yet saturated

 In the past few years, the hot joke of "volume" has been circulating on the Internet, which is explained in economics as a useless internal competition. But over the years, the trend is getting worse. Let's take a simple example, that is, now the difficulty of postgraduate entrance examination and public examination is greatly increased. Because many companies are paying more and more attention to the education of their employees, some young people who do not want to participate in the exam begin to prepare for the exam of civil servants who want to live a flat life.

 However, Chinese young people are under great pressure to survive in such an environment, and China's mid-range talent market is gradually saturated. In such an environment, many young people can see no future development, so they will choose to go abroad. And they think of places that are more backward than China, such as Africa. Africa is backward, but there are many job opportunities.

 The industrial market in Africa is not perfect. If these young Chinese men are willing to go to hardship in Africa to start their own businesses, they are likely to enjoy the dividends of the market in the future. For entrepreneurs, prices in Africa are very low, which is also a natural advantage. If they want to run a factory, they don't even need too much start-up capital. Coupled with the large population in Africa, the demographic dividend has not yet disappeared.

Starting a business in Africa at this time seems to be the best deal for these Chinese men. So how can Chinese men who want to make a big career in Africa return home at this time?

 Reason two: the two countries have different views of marriage

 Marriage in China is actually a headache for male families. According to Chinese tradition, if a man wants to marry a wife, he must have a bride price, a car and a house. Nowadays, the price level in China is gradually increasing, although the housing price regulated by relevant departments is still high, ordinary young men want to buy a house, often through the efforts of several generations.

 Some self-made young men can only make a down payment on a house. And buy a car, no matter what kind of car, the fuel or maintenance costs in the future. In addition, there are generally more men than women in China now, so it is not easy to marry a wife in China.

 But Africans and Chinese have a different view of marriage. Africa is poorer and has more women than men. Moreover, the status of women in Africa is very low, so some African women basically have no requirements for marriage. As long as some young men of appropriate age are willing to marry themselves, they will basically agree.

 Even some Chinese men follow their own traditions of buying houses and cars, which is very easy in Africa. Because housing prices in Africa are very low, some men who start businesses in Africa will definitely be able to buy houses and cars on their own.

So in terms of pure marriage, the pressure on African men is far less than that on China. Some Chinese men who have started or worked for a long time are likely to marry and have children in Africa. By taking roots in Africa, they are less likely to return home.

 Reason 3: Chinese men are respected in Africa

 It has to be said that Chinese male entrepreneurs get a lot of respect in some backward areas of Africa. Because For Africans, Chinese male entrepreneurs who start businesses in Africa mean providing jobs for many African workers who have no jobs. Some Chinese men who have successfully started businesses in Africa may even drive local economic growth.

 Even for men who don't start their own businesses, their jobs in some companies in Africa are valued by their leaders. Chinese men have been in a competitive environment for a long time, so they are very serious and diligent in both their work and life. Whether starting a business or working in a company, conscientiousness and diligence is a very important quality.

Although the men who work in Africa are far away from their hometown and their relatives, they have gained unprecedented satisfaction in this place thousands of miles away. So it is expected that they are not want to return home.

2. brief summary

China is in a period of rapid development, but we have to say that in such a period of rapid development, some young people did lose the opportunity. They want to go to other countries to realize their value is a personal pursuit, we have no way to judge. However, this does not mean that employment to Africa is necessarily the best. We should also measure our own level when choosing opportunities.
