Pearl River Delta Labor Shortage Is Exactly Who Can Not Get Away From It.

After the Spring Festival, a large number of rural labor force went to work in cities. But in Guangdong and the Pearl River Delta, nearly 2 million of the labor shortage has occurred. While other cities in the mainland are still having a headache for solving employment problems, why is there such a large labor gap in Guangdong? And what does this predict?

The remaining temperature of the international financial crisis is still continuing, especially for the Guangdong region, which has always been the economic vane of China. The international financial crisis in 2008 led to the collapse of a large number of enterprises in the Pearl River Delta. Dongguan, Zhongshan, Humen and other large numbers of small and medium-sized enterprises engaged in clothing, shoes, hats, toys and electronics had difficulty in surviving. A large number of foreign employees had to go home or find another way out. But why only a year or so later, there are many contrasts in recruitment at many job fairs? There are many reasons for this.

First of all, enterprises in the Pearl River Delta are mostly basic manufacturing industries. For example, in Guangzhou, the current talent gap is mainly concentrated in electrical manufacturing, machinery processing, clothing and footwear industry. The employment demand in this industry accounts for about 45% of the total employment in Guangzhou. Besides, there are also service industries, mainly in the logistics and distribution industry, convention and exhibition business and so on. Dongguan's demand for general workers is also 80%. This 30 year old industrial structure will inevitably lead to the phenomenon of labor shortage. The basic processing industry of "three to one subsidy" must be labor-intensive. However, with the high housing prices and consumption levels in recent years, such as Guangdong and Shenzhen, many workers who come to apply for jobs have been deterred. There is also a saying that "escaping from the north to the Canton" is more prevalent. It means that the high housing prices are a great concern for employees in big cities such as Beijing, Shanghai and Guangdong.

Second, the changing role of job seekers has made it difficult for many employment units to recruit. The shortage of workers is due to the imbalance between supply and demand. Enterprises need a large number of front-line workers, but the new growing workforce is getting higher and higher education. The first choice is no longer a production worker. The change of the labor force structure of the new generation not only affects the recruitment of enterprises, but also pushes the upgrading of enterprises to a certain extent. At the same time, the original ordinary workers want to turn into mechanic after working for some time in factories, so they are unwilling to do their original work again. Another reason is also because the country's rich peasant policy and more than 20 years of migrant workers' hot work in rural areas have created the first batch of peasants who are "getting rich first". Many farmers like Liu Laogen have learned technology and earned money in the city. More and more private and township enterprises have sprouted in the vast land. At the same time, a large number of grass-roots workers have been "trapped" to solve the problem of employment and create wealth for the local people. The state reduces and exempts all rural taxes, protects grain acquisition and dispatched technicians, and guarantees agricultural production and income. Many farmers say, "working outside is hard enough to save more than 6000 a year, and more than 10000 in our hometown, so we don't go out to work anymore."

The labor shortage in the Pearl River Delta region also has distinct regional characteristics, and the shortage of skilled personnel is a major phenomenon in many areas. For example, Shenzhen's special computer enterprise, research group, is also facing the same problem. On the one hand, ordinary skilled workers are hard to find, while advanced R & D personnel are rare in the talent market. In recent 2 years, he has been able to recruit hundreds of millions of advertisements in the headquarters of the research building near Shennan Avenue. At the same time, in order to retain R & D personnel, he not only provided employees with high salary guarantee and skills training, but also directly linked the R & D achievements of research personnel with the sales performance of the market, and the R & D personnel also took the sales commission. At the same time, the chairman of the company also set up the chairman's Innovation Award, which specifically used to encourage R & D and innovation. Through various means, we aim to retain talents and attract talents.

In any case, on the one hand, the supply of general practitioners and technicians is in short supply; on the other hand, the shortage of hi-tech talents has brought a waking up to many enterprises. That is, the Pearl River Delta region is vigorously carrying out a major adjustment of industrial structure, not only from market demand, but also the shortage of talent, forcing the region's economic structure to transform from labor-intensive to knowledge intensive industries.

Although the Shenzhen municipal government has attracted nearly 600 free recruitment fairs this year to attract more general workers and technicians to apply for jobs. But such a large labor gap and continuous upgrading and upgrading of industrial demand is still difficult to solve quickly. The imbalance between supply and demand and the implementation of the new labor law have also made many enterprises realize that they are no longer "the first party has the final say". The state's implementation of various policies for entrepreneurship assistance and the new ideas of "post-90s" workers have also given job seekers more choices to "open their eyes to the world", not just who can not live without them.

On the surface, "labor shortage" is to let some enterprises experience difficulties. In fact, it reflects the dawn of a country's economic transformation. Entrepreneurs in it should have the responsibility and courage to recognize the current situation and make preparations for transformation and upgrading. Just like childbirth before the pain of maternal experience, and usher in a new life!
