Since July 1st, many provinces and municipalities such as Beijing, Henan, Shenzhen, Shaanxi, Anhui and Hainan have raised minimum wage standards, with an average increase of more than 20%.

According to incomplete statistics, there are 27 provinces and municipalities that have been upregulated or planned to increase this year, and 18 provinces have raised the minimum wage standards.

Frequent improvement everywhere

It echoed the request made by the central high level to "make workers decent work".

Experts believe that the unreasonable distribution of income is the low income of ordinary workers.

According to the minimum wage regulation, the minimum wage standard should be adjusted at least once every two years, but the minimum wage level was raised more than two years ago.

Sun Qunyi, an expert in the wage Research Institute of the Ministry of human resources, said that the current wage increase is a compensatory increase in the income of low-income workers.

Overall, the domestic minimum wage standard is still low.

The National Federation of trade unions (FTU) made a request in December 2006, and the minimum wage standards in various places in the next 3 years will reach more than 40% of the local average wage.

In January 23rd this year, Jiangsu province took the lead in the whole country.

The monthly minimum wage in one of the regions increased by 110 yuan.

"The wage increase highlighted the competitive advantage of Jiangsu's labor force price and attracted many workers from the Pearl River Delta to Jiangsu."

Dong Yingfeng, spokesman for the Suzhou labor and Social Security Bureau, said that the wage adjustment in the current round of the country has positive effects on individuals and employment enterprises.

"This can not only increase the disposable income of labourers, improve their living standards, but also promote enterprises in the region to retain high-quality workers and stabilize their workforce."

The raising of minimum wage standards has also caused some controversy.

Some people worry that this will increase the operating costs of enterprises, affect the profits of enterprises, and may even reduce the attractiveness of foreign investment.

However, the relevant experts believe that increasing the wages of employees will inevitably increase production costs, which will accelerate the pformation and upgrading of enterprises, and introduce new and high technology to enhance the efficiency of enterprises.

To improve, the skill level of workers should be improved.

At present, China's senior skilled workers account for only 3% of the workers, while the developed countries account for about 35%. Improving the skill level of the workers is particularly critical.

Zhao Shuming, Dean of the Business School of Nanjing University, said: "in the past, multinational enterprises only put the workshop in China, and now the whole industry chain has moved over. In the future, we need to create more training opportunities for workers, enhance their skill level and improve their labor productivity."

"The current minimum wage standard is static, and now the standard has been raised, and it may be lagging behind for a while."

Therefore, Li Bingyan, the professor of the Party School of the provincial Party committee, suggests that only the enterprises have to speed up the pformation and upgrade only to have a way out, and the core competitiveness of enterprises must not be built on cheap labor.
