Many provinces and cities before the Spring festival labor shortage will raise the minimum wage

Every reporter Li Zemin from Beijing recently Zhongqing said, will raise the minimum basic wage from January 1, 2011.　　Up to now, 31 provinces and cities nationwide have raised the minimum wage standard. According to data released by the Ministry of Social Affairs, minimum wage growth averaged 24% per cent in these provinces where wage adjustments were made.　　Although the tide of pay has not receded, Shaanxi, Zhejiang and other provinces and cities in 2010, on the basis of raising the minimum wage, again raised or is brewing to raise wage standards.　　"Daily economic news," the reporter learned that the salary is behind the pay, is commonly seen everywhere than in previous years earlier "labor shortage." In Zhejiang Province, for example, the current rate of begging (labor market demand and the number of job seekers) reached a new value of 1.99.　　To ease the increasingly normal recruitment difficulties, Zhejiang is expected to be January 15, 2011 Before the minimum wage adjustment in place.　　Sun Qunyi, a researcher at the Wage Institute of the Ministry of Social Affairs, said to the daily economic news reporter that the main cause of labor shortage is wages, but raise wages can not completely solve the shortage of labor, but also need to increase the intensity of industrial upgrading and training for skilled workers.　　Coping with labor shortages this April, Zhejiang province's minimum monthly wage standard adjustment, the most high-end minimum monthly wage standard from 960 yuan to 1100 yuan, such standards were the highest in the country. An official from the provincial Bureau of Social Affairs told the Daily Economic news reporter that a new minimum-wage adjustment is now being studied and that the specific increase has not been determined.　　He said that every year before and after the (spring) festival, the general will encounter labor shortage, Zhejiang has 8 million skilled personnel, but there are 7 million of people's gap, raise wages can alleviate the situation of labor shortage. Then look at Shaanxi, the province's catering industry and many other service industries generally encounter recruitment problems. When the demographic dividend advantage gradually ceased, Shaanxi Province decided on December 25 to implement the new minimum wage by January 1, 2011, with an increase of 100 yuan per month on the basis of the current income.　　This is the second adjustment of Shaanxi in 6 months, after adjustment, the minimum wage for a type of region is 860 yuan per month, the second category is 780 yuan. Yesterday (December 27), the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Human Social Security announced that, since January 1, 2011, the city's minimum wage from the current monthly adjustment of 960 yuan to 1160 yuan per month, the monthly increase of 200 yuan.　　At the same time, the minimum working hours for part-time workers increased from November per hour to $13 per hour.　　At the beginning of this year, Guangdong, Jiangsu, Shanghai and other countries have raised the minimum wage standards, the original intention is similar to improve the local employment environment, ease recruitment difficulties, attract the return of labor and so on.　　Sun Qunyi pointed out that 2008 years ago, the structural labor shortage has been in existence, one reason is the transfer of industrial capital to the mainland, resulting in labour reluctance to flow, on the other hand, the wages of workers are still low. Difficult to solve the recruitment dilemma in fact, the use of the minimum wage to improve the way to relieve the difficulties of employment, has always been praised and realpracticed, but the effect is not obvious.　　This year's labor shortage in Zhejiang, Guangdong and other land 4 months ahead of arrival, also reflects the fact that the side.　　Guangzhou a Business Development Co., Ltd. Manager Zhou told reporters that for staff wages, this year increased a lot, but recently hired 10 Packers, recruitment issued nearly one months, or failed to recruit enough.　　It is understood that the Yangtze River delta, the Pearl River Delta and other enterprises in the monthly wages compared with the Midwest, not attractive, Zhejiang and the Midwest Enterprise monthly wage gap is only about 200 yuan.　　Sun Qunyi For example, Foxconn's workers in the Pearl River Delta have a starting salary of 1200 yuan, while in Zhengzhou's new factory, the starting salary for workers is 2000 yuan. The loss of comparative advantage makes migrant workers more willing to work near them.　　In order to create a better employment environment, in the salary treatment of overweight, has become an important choice for the coastal provinces. The minimum wage shall be adjusted at least once every two years, as required by section tenth of the minimum wage.　　And the constant influx of labor shortage, forcing all over to speed up the frequency. However, Jianguo, Minister of collective contract of the National Federation of Trade Unions, said that the implementation of the minimum wage system can only play a very small part of the income level of disadvantaged workers "fallback" protection role, destined to solve the problem involving all workers in the internal income distribution.　　It is necessary to raise the minimum wage in a situation where inflationary pressures are rising and rising prices are expected to increase, but the attractiveness of the labour force is limited. For how to solve the labor shortage, Sun Qunyi suggested: "In the past in order to solve the employment, more to take is the relatively low-end employment methods, now to increase the industrial upgrading is very important." At the same time, to increase the training of skilled personnel, now the main lack of talent, in addition to balance the income distribution between the regions. ”
