The National Federation of trade unions told the "daily economic news" reporters that a total of 27 provinces and municipalities have raised or raised minimum wage standards this year, which has made a key step in promoting the reform of income distribution.

The average increase was over 20%.

Vice president and remuneration of China labour Society major Su Hainan, the chairman of the committee, said, "raising the minimum basic wage is based on the actual situation of all localities, taking into account the economic development situation has stabilized and the price rise this year, and so on, in order to better ensure the basic livelihood of low-income workers."

The reporter noted that the provinces and cities that have already adjusted the minimum wage standards in the first half of the year are different. Since July 1st, the provinces that have raised wages have basically increased by more than 20%, such as the increase of 25.9% in Anhui, 22% in Yunnan, 27.8% in Hunan and 23% in Henan.

Statistics show that China's lowest annual income is less than 15% of the world average, ranking 159 in the world.

Cai Jiming said, comprehensive consideration. enterprise After 12th Five-Year, China's minimum wage level should gradually reach the world average level. According to the minimum wage requirement, minimum basic salary should be adjusted at least once every two years.

In Soviet Hainan's view, if some provinces and cities did not make adjustments last year, this year should also be adjusted. If adjustments were made last year, taking into account factors such as local price increases and social average wage increase this year, if necessary, this year can also be readjust.

Testing the affordability of small and medium enterprises

The minimum wage standard is based on the comprehensive consideration of the minimum living expenses of workers and their supporting population, the consumer price index, the growth of social average wage, the level of economic development and the employment situation. Therefore, Su Hainan believes that raising the minimum wage standard will not have a negative impact on enterprises. This is the arrangement after a combination of factors, giving full consideration to the overall affordability of enterprises everywhere. But it is not ruled out that some labor-intensive SMEs may be under pressure, and some individuals may not be able to withstand the pressure.

Cai Jiming said that raising the minimum wage will definitely have an impact on the local labor costs, and the government should raise the minimum wage. wages At the same time, give enterprises more preferential policies, such as taxation.

Hainan province raised the minimum wage today. The standards before implementation are: 630 yuan in one category, 530 yuan in two categories, and 480 yuan in three categories, which ranks the last sixth in the whole country. After the adjustment, the monthly minimum wage standard increased by 31.7% to 830 yuan in the first month and 37.7% in the two category, 730 yuan in the three category, and 680 yuan in the three category.

Can the implementation of such a high amplitude be implemented? Li, director of the wage and Welfare Department of the Hainan Provincial Department of human resources and social security, said, "when raising the minimum wage, the opinions of all sides were widely consulted, and the various economic indicators of Hainan were integrated. At the same time, the income of the enterprises in Hainan is relatively good, and most of the enterprises can bear the wage level after adjustment, so there is no difficulty in carrying out the operation. Su Hainan said that the wage increase would be "high water is not high" situation. For example, some enterprises adjust the wages of workers who are below the new minimum wage standard to the new standard. At the same time, they lower the wages of workers who are higher than the new standard to equal or slightly higher than the new standard, that is, the wages of all kinds of workers are equal to the new minimum wage standards. With such an increase and decrease, enterprises do not spend much money.
