Han: The main reason for recruitment is low wages

Sina Finance March 20 Morning News, the State Council Development Research Center of the Ministry of Rural Affairs in today's China Development Forum said that recruitment is not only regional rather than national problems, the lack of skills of migrant workers is an important reason, but more to the reason is low wages, poor working conditions. Han points out that in early 2009, more than 20 million migrant workers in China lost their jobs and returned to their home country as a result of the export slump. China's strong economic recovery since last year has created a lot of new jobs.　　Last year, the whole of China's migrant workers in the employment of a revival of growth, the size of the migrant workers reached 230 million people, of whom the migrant workers out of employment reached 145 million people.　　However, according to Han survey, in the third quarter of last year, in Guangdong and other areas of recruitment difficulties, and development to now, in the coastal area to recruit more and more become a common problem. "Recruitment difficult is very important one reason is the lack of employment skills of migrant workers, there are some jobs, but migrant workers do not do, but more important reason is that the wages of migrant workers are low, working conditions are relatively poor."　　"Han said. Han pointed out that in the fourth quarter of 2008 and the first quarter of 2009, the wages of migrant workers declined significantly. 2009 has seen a recovery in the year, with migrant workers paying an average of 1417 yuan in one months, an increase of 5.7%. Even more noteworthy is the rapid narrowing of wages in the coastal areas and the wage gap in the Midwest, where wage levels are only 5% higher than in the mainland. "It is understandable why a large number of migrant workers choose to work in the Midwest rather than go to the coast to get employment." This is a gap in wages. Han also put forward that, behind the shortage of migrant workers, there is also a very important reason is that China's rural labor supply and demand structural contradictions more and more prominent, skilled workers in total shortage.　　According to the survey, 80% of the rural young adults under 30 years old have been transferred to the non-agricultural sector for employment. Han that hiring is difficult to be normal. "Because China's working-age population reaches a peak of 2016 and 2017, the surplus labor force in rural China is mainly middle-aged people over 40 years of age, which is very similar to that in Japan in the 80. Then there was a situation in Japan where companies had to shift part of their business to the rural hinterland, Attract these middle-aged people to employment. "Han said. (Jessie is from Beijing)
