近代中国农民生活贫困化是不争之实,究其原因有多方面。从劳动者素质看:生产技术的墨守成规无法保证农业生产活动的高效;文盲半文盲的普遍性成为农民摆脱贫困难以逾越的樊篱;思想观念的落后狭隘直接推动着农民贫困的积累。因此,从一定程度上讲,提高劳动者素质是改变农民生活贫困状况的重要途径。 Modern Chinese peasants living in poverty is an indisputable fact for many reasons. From the quality of laborers, the rigid rules of production technology can not guarantee the efficiency of agricultural production; the universality of illiteracy and semi-illiteracy has become the insurmountable barrier for peasants to get out of poverty; the narrow and backward ideological concepts directly promote the accumulation of peasants’ poverty. Therefore, to a certain extent, improving the quality of laborers is an important way to change the living conditions of peasants.
