At the beginning of the new year, recruitment difficulties, 'grab' migrant workers have become a major concern of the community, labor shortage has become the main theme of the labor market. The problem of 'shortage of rural workers' that appeared a few years ago has intensified this year. China's enterprises in the central and western regions compete with the enterprises in the southeast to 'grab' migrant workers, and businesses and enterprises across the country 'contend for migrant workers'. Under such circumstances, the wages of workers in the enterprises have risen widely and welfare benefits have increased. And workers' 'humanity' is getting more and more concentrated: husband and wife room, birth red envelope, Spring Festival round-trip tickets, pull people's 'occupation' to give rewards... Experts pointed out that labor shortage is a long-term trend, and it is inevitable for social development. Phenomenon, companies must be brave to face.
Labor costs inflict hardware upgrades
'Looking at the hardware manufacturing industry, short-term stress is a good thing. 'Xingyue Group's general manager Xia Wei said that the labor cost has forced companies to return to the sustainable development track of the energy transition. This is also the process that companies must undergo from the manufacturing to the creative transformation.
The low labor cost was once an advantage of the hardware industry, but it was also a disadvantage. Labor-intensive production methods have low technological content and low added value. The world market has less demand elasticity, and the share of export profits obtained is very small, and it cannot improve international competitiveness. Export products can easily become the key object of anti-dumping in all countries of the world.
If the hardware industry is still immersed in the advantages brought by cheap labor, it stays in the low value-added mode of 'manufacturing base' and 'OEM processing', and the elaborate production mode leaves behind a lot of resources and environmental pollution for the society. problem. In addition, enterprises will not take the initiative to transition to independent research and development and independent brand models, and will face the issue of sustainable development in the future. Li Xingwang said that in order to ensure the sustained and steady growth of the hardware industry, it is necessary to change the traditional low-wage, low-cost, low-profit manufacturing model, optimize the economic structure, and strive to achieve economic transformation. In order to meet the challenges of international competition, we need to explore new ways and ideas of competition, such as nurturing more companies with international reputation in terms of quality and added value, and gradually shift from cost advantage to quality and brand.
Enterprise transformation 'anti-forced' 'talent upgrade'
It cannot be denied that the hardware manufacturing industry cluster centered on Yongkang originally required a 'labour force' rather than a 'talent' with a high level of technology. These 'labour' are more suitable for labor-intensive jobs and jobs. These original rural surplus laborers washed their feet and went ashore. After simple training or gaining experience and study at work, they realized the transition from farmers to 'industrial workers'.
However, the upgrading and transformation of enterprises need to have a higher level of talent to achieve. Li Xingwang believes that if the government service is still serving from the solution of the labor shortage problem, it is undoubtedly a palliative, not a permanent solution. At the same time, the upgrading and transformation of enterprises are 'against' government and society's 'talent engineering' and 'big environmental engineering'. The 'talent' is no longer a 'labour force.' This forces the 'industrial workers' of the original peasants to carry out 'upgrades' so as to fundamentally increase wages and welfare benefits, and realize the simultaneous advancement and benign cycle of employees, enterprises, enterprises and society. .
With the development of society, the new generation of migrant workers is gradually becoming the main force of the labor force. They are more adaptable to urbanization than the older generation. They also put forward higher requirements for the working environment: corporate hard environment, soft environment, and learning and promotion. Opportunities, urban environment, living activities, cultural and spiritual life, etc. 'Industrialization' requires the simultaneous development of 'urbanization' and 'peasant modernization'.
Labor costs cannot be fully pressured to the enterprise
'Improvement of wages for workers is a requirement for social development. Li Tunyi, deputy director of the Economic and Trade Bureau of Yongkang City, said that the economy must be happy to develop life. Only by achieving progress at the same time as enterprises and workers can we make society more harmonious. For this reason, the substantial increase in labor costs cannot be entirely pressured to the enterprise. In this regard, Zhang Ming deeply feels the same way. He believes that the general increase in employee wages is a reflection of the rising CPI, labor supply and demand, and reflects the increasing material and spiritual needs of workers. This cannot be entirely borne by the company.
The 6th China Private Economy Investment and Development Forum co-sponsored by the Peking University Private Economic Research Institute and the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce's Ministry of Education, Professor Li Yining, a well-known economist, pointed out that he complied with the recent increase in salary paid by some companies. Under the circumstances, the government should consider giving enterprises some tax relief. After the meeting, Wang Liming, Director of the SME Department of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, remarked to Professor Li Yining when he spoke to the website of the financial community. He said that China’s distribution method is undergoing further adjustments. In order to continuously increase people’s income, the distribution mechanism is gradually and rationally determined. Some tax policy adjustments are inevitable. He pointed out that there is an inevitable link between the wage costs of enterprises and the development of enterprises. Appropriate tax relief is a necessary means. The development of enterprises, the steady increase in the income of employees, and the stable state revenue, all three parties can achieve harmonious and benign development is the best situation.
