Special planning/Sison/Our correspondent HUANGPE recently, Labor and capital contradictions have become the focus of social concern. Why is there a shortage of migrant workers in the Pearl River delta but wages are still hard to raise? Why does Labor conflict emerge during this period? What impact will this have on China's economy? How far can China's cheap labor force go? This reporter tried to find the answer. Recently, many migrant workers on the internet to explode their own pay bar than who earn less money, Dongguan Shi Jie Innovation Electronics factory March a general Staff's pay: basic salary 250 yuan, performance 50 yuan, Saturday allowance 50 yuan, attendance 30 yuan, basic salary 545 yuan, supper subsidy 8 yuan, overtime wages total 303 yuan, overtime time Up to 121 hours. Deducted to the food 165 yuan, the gas cost 14 yuan, the welfare expense 10 yuan, the fine 25 yuan, each month 29 days class, a total of more than 370 hours, has not been absent the ordinary staff's income amounted to 642 yuan. "In Dongguan such a high consumption of places, this income how to live ah?" Netizens commented. Loming, professor of Economic College of South China Agricultural University, told our correspondent that in the Pearl River Delta region, the average working hours of manufacturing workers were more than 10 hours, and workers had to work overtime to get the wages they wanted. Many business owners think workers can get more than 1800 yuan a one-month salary is already very high, but do not think these workers are on the basis of overwork to earn. The basic remuneration of workers is still very low. The shortage of migrant workers in the Pearl River Delta is still based on the low wages and benefits. "Loming said. The data show that although China's economy continued to develop rapidly in recent years, the share of residents ' distribution has been declining. In the 1993 ~2007, the proportion of Chinese residents ' labor remuneration to GDP decreased from 49.49% to 39.74%. The proportion of workers ' remuneration in the initial distribution fell by 11.7% in the 8 years between 2000 and 2007. In the past 22 years, the proportion of capital compensation has risen by 20%, indicating that the income of workers has not increased with the growth of wealth. "A reasonable increase in wage income" has become the public's most urgent desire. Ask the export processing enterprises still not fully recover Loming said that there are three major reasons for the recent period of labor and Labour contradictions. The first is that prices are rising and living costs are rising, but the wages of workers have not changed significantly. In addition, the current export-oriented processing enterprises affected by the economic crisis, although the situation has improved, but the overall profitability has not fully recovered. The increasing pressure of RMB appreciation, the instability of orders and other issues, directly affect the survival of enterprises. One in the South China Sea Pine Hillock specializes in food export business owner Hong Liang (a pseudonym) yesterday told our correspondent, they for foreign production a bottle of drink to earn 0.1 to 0.15 yuan. And the competition is very fierce, only around the company has more than 10 similar enterprises, everyone to the price of each other, now the raw materials continue to rise, the enterprise has been very difficult. Another important reason is that farmers todayThere are also differences in concept between workers and the previous generation of migrant workers. Loming said that the previous generation of migrant workers to work more single goal is to make money to support the family. But now the migrant workers pay more attention to the realization of personal value, pay attention to the future, which leads to the decline of endurance of workers, contradictions are easy to intensify. "Some employees said to leave today, we are all assembly line operations, less than one person production is difficult to carry out." "Hong Liang said. The impact of the "world factory" facing transformation challenges China's "world Factory" status, a large part of the reliance on low-cost human costs. In particular, processing trade is due to the advantages of human cost in the world commodity market occupies a pivotal position. The current processing trade accounts for about 50% of China's total trade, which has played an important role in China's "World Factory" and created a huge trade surplus in nominal terms. But in the international division system, the processing trade is at the lowest end of the industrial chain and the profit margin is very low. Data show that the current processing trade profit is only about 5%. As with exchange rate movements, the rise in human costs is also testing Chinese manufacturing. It is reported that Guangdong began May 1 this year has raised the minimum wage standards, of which Guangzhou increased by 20%, the country also has more than 10 provinces ready to raise the minimum wage standards. And raises are increasingly being put on the corporate agenda. Shenzhen, a foundry company announced a pay increase of 20% two, Hong Liang company workers ' wages have risen from 1000 yuan last year to 1500 yuan, if added overtime, one months down there 1800 to 2000 yuan. "There is no way to rise, no one can not keep people." Loming said that from the recent labor conflicts, the future of the factory to improve the possibility of wage increases, and will give staff more humane care. The era of cheap labour in China may be nearing its end. The increase of manpower cost is bound to break the current economic model of China's manufacturing industry, in Vietnam, Thailand and other Southeast Asian countries, Africa and other land its lower human costs are causing the world's processing industry attention. Many garment companies reflect that Southeast Asian countries have started to rob orders with them. "The traditional manufacturing model of low wages, low cost and low profit will be upgraded." "Loming said. Industry insiders said that if Chinese enterprises still immersed in enjoying the advantages of cheap labor, stay in the "China Assembly", "World factory" of the low value-added model, but not the initiative to independent research and development, independent brand model transformation, the future will face the problem of sustainable development.
