農(nóng)民家庭生活的改善
從1978年至1983年,農(nóng)民家庭生活發(fā)生了巨大變化。南通縣農(nóng)民的人均收入從1978年的153元增加到1983年的280元。由于收入增加可觀,農(nóng)民在消費(fèi)方面也有所變化。
農(nóng)民在食品、衣服、住房方面花錢(qián)較多,尤其在日常用品方面花錢(qián)多,這說(shuō)明了他們的物質(zhì)生活水平提高較快。農(nóng)民們不再滿(mǎn)足目前的生活狀況.他們要生活得更舒服,更好。從圖表中可以清楚地看到,隨著收入的增加,人們會(huì)生活得更舒服,吃得會(huì)更好。
但是,農(nóng)民們花在娛樂(lè)方面的錢(qián)卻很少。只占總收入的2%—3%。這說(shuō)明這個(gè)縣的農(nóng)民每年進(jìn)城一兩次看場(chǎng)戲就算是特別高興的事了。這種落后的狀況應(yīng)當(dāng)盡快改變,應(yīng)當(dāng)多建*、劇場(chǎng)和公共娛樂(lè)場(chǎng)所,,因此,地方政府應(yīng)當(dāng)為農(nóng)民的娛樂(lè)活動(dòng)提供更多的機(jī)會(huì)。教育農(nóng)民對(duì)國(guó)家的未來(lái)是至關(guān)緊要的。
