Worker in China

Styles of Star Prototype said most foreign-owned enterprises are allocating funds to give workers a better living and working environment. Demand for higher wages and better conditions put the spotlight on China's young labor pool. The minimum wage of a factory worker in Shenzhen or Dongguan, Guangdong province, was at least 200 yuan. Including overtime, take home pay reached 500 yuan each month.
Abrahamson said these talented younger workers have greater ambitions. Unlike in previous years, career-oriented workers can find factory jobs that offer internal and external training. A young worker's perspective Some factories might offer higher wages but no board and lodging. Sixty-four percent of the 239 respondents to a Global Sources survey said they remain in need of workers, despite higher wages and several concessions.
Hong Kong Small and Medium Enterprises Association chairman Danny Lau said low costs, inexpensive labor in particular, are one of China's biggest competitive differentiators among global factories. "Many companies in the Pearl River Delta region offer higher-than-minimum wages, which range from 1,500 to 2,000 yuan ($221 to $295) per month, but employees still feel unsatisfied," Lau said. China Labour Bulletin editor Geoffrey Crothall agrees with Liu's findings. Star Prototype China Ltd managing director Gordon Styles said labor costs generally account for 10 to 25 percent of export prices. A typical factory in China, meanwhile, can probably boost annual efficiency by an average of 5 percent. Raising wages, meanwhile, involves spending 10 to 20 percent more per employee each month.
Seventy-five percent of surveyed suppliers said employees have sought higher salaries or made other demands. For instance, the minimum wage in Guangdong province's capital city of Guangzhou was raised 22 percent to 1,100 yuan. In the neighboring city of Dongguan, the basic salary rose to 920 yuan. In fact, many factories there are paying workers higher than the minimum wage. Makers are working on improving living conditions in the factory dormitories as well. The company's factory dormitory has individual beds, wardrobes, desks, computers with Internet connection, and chairs.
