Guangdong'S Minimum Wage Rose By 18.6%&Nbsp, The Highest In China.

Only 10 months later.

The Guangdong provincial government recently issued a notice that it decided to adjust the minimum wage standard for workers and staff members from March 1st this year and raise the minimum wage standard for part-time workers.

The director of the Guangdong Provincial Department of human resources and social security, Ou Zhen Zhi, said at a press conference held at 19, that the minimum wage adjustment of enterprises was moderate, and the average increase in the province was 18.6%, of which the first category increased by 18.2%, increased by 200 yuan; the second category increased 19.6%, increased by 180 yuan; third categories and fourth categories increased 17.3%, 19.7%, respectively, and increased by 17.3% yuan.

The adjusted minimum wage standard for employees and the minimum wage for part-time workers are four grades. Among them, the highest standard of the first class in Guangzhou is 1300 yuan / month, and the corresponding minimum wage for part-time workers is 12.5 yuan / hour.

According to the regulations on the payment of wages for employees in Shenzhen, the regulations of Shenzhen Municipality shall be separately formulated.

According to Ou Zhi Zhi, the minimum wage level in most areas is close to or exceeding 40% of the average wage of local workers after adjustment. The minimum wage in the first category (Guangzhou) is at present.

"This (18.6%) is a more appropriate standard."

Yu Xuehua, deputy director of the Guangdong Provincial People's Congress and Jiangmen Municipal Bureau of human resources and social security, told the first financial daily that the main reason for raising prices was rising prices.

Han Zhaozhou, Dean of statistics and professor of statistics at the school of education, Jinan University, pointed out that the growth of the minimum wage standard in Guangdong in the past two years is actually "old account of history", because internationally, it is generally determined according to a certain proportion of the average wage of the society, such as Australia, New Zealand and other countries, according to the average wage 40%~60% of the society, and most of the cities in China are still far below the proportion.

He told reporters that after calculating, the minimum wage in Guangzhou in 2009 should reach about 1380 yuan, and Guangzhou has not yet reached this figure.

Similar to Guangdong, at the beginning of this year, three provinces and municipalities in Beijing, Chongqing and Jiangsu gradually raised the minimum wage standard.

However, the problem of how to balance the minimum wage and maintain business efficiency and ensure employment remains.

Han Zhaozhou believes that raising standards is conducive to speeding up the pformation and upgrading of enterprises in the Pearl River Delta region. Some labor-intensive small businesses can move to low-cost Meizhou, Heyuan and inland areas, which is conducive to the gradient development of regional economy.

Cheng Fengyuan, President of Guangzhou Taiwan Funded Enterprises Association, said that many enterprises in the Pearl River Delta are also considering pferring to inland areas such as Hunan and Jiangxi.

"Enterprises themselves will certainly consider this. If it is really inappropriate to develop here, it may move northward."

"This is the necessary cost of pformation. If you are too low added value, you can not do it."

Yu Xuehua said, the cost of the past (Enterprise Development) is borne by the workers, and now it is borne by the enterprises.
