Shortage Of Workers Spread To &Nbsp, &Nbsp; Pformation And Upgrading Is The Best Policy.

October 28th, "not enough last year"

Lack of labor and spread to the Yangtze River Delta

"The shortage of workers has been alleviated in the Pearl River Delta, and has begun to grow seriously this year."

Yesterday, a toy manufacturer in Foshan who told OEM, a well-known toy factory in the United States, told reporters, "we had 900 people last year, when we were worried about the financial crisis.

This year, there are only 500 people. Many orders have been arrived at the Canton Fair, and we dare not answer them.

"There are a lot of orders, but we do not want to pick them up because we do not have enough workers to do so."

Mei Meng, executive vice president of toy industry association of Jiangsu Federation of industry and commerce, has the same worries.

He said that the problem of labor shortage was relatively prominent in the Pearl River Delta. This year, the shortage of workers attacked the Yangtze River Delta. The delivery time of many members of the association had to be delayed from 1 months to 45 days, until now it is four months before delivery.

Reporters visited Canton Fair found that the problem of employment is not only found in the Pearl River Delta and the Yangtze River Delta.

Fujian Putian City Government Secretary General told reporters that as a Chinese footwear export base, many shoe manufacturers in Putian now do not invite people.

"Footwear manufacturing is still a labor-intensive industry. Labor shortage is particularly prominent. The average production capacity of the industry is less than 70%, which not only leads to waste of resources, but also often causes orders to fail to be completed on time, and is liable for breach of contract.

At the same time, skilled workers, skilled workers and professional and technical management personnel are in short supply, so it is very difficult to carry out independent innovation work.

Do you think the younger generation is afraid of suffering?

Labor shortage is not too low wages? Many foreign trade executives shook their heads.

Deng Junsheng, the head of Miller treasure Toys Co., Ltd., Guangdong, told the Yangcheng Evening News reporter: "last year we still opened 1500 yuan per month for food and accommodation. This year, we have opened up to 2000 yuan for food and clothing, but we still can't find anyone."

He told reporters that making toys is mostly manual work, which is very hard.

"Now 80 after 90 can not eat bitterness, the most dry two or three months left, we are asking workers every month."

Wang Song, manager of Xiamen herd import and export company, seemed very helpless. "We are dry ceramics. It is hard to recruit new workers now. Young people are not very willing to do this."

The owner of two furniture enterprises in Guangdong also told reporters that labor costs have risen by 30% this year, and still can not find workers.

"After 90 is even more difficult than 80, please, because the work is hard, their generation is willing to be a solid worker."

I used to make 5 furniture export factories, and now I have only one family to maintain.

Wu's furniture chief in Fengkai said helplessly.

Structural problems are difficult to reverse.

Jiang Lin, director of the Department of Finance and taxation of Zhongshan University, believes that China's labor supply is still abundant in general, and that the turning point of Lewis, the famous labor force in economics, has not arrived.

However, the problem of labor shortage is mainly caused by structural imbalance.

After the Foxconn incident, the PRD enterprises began to adjust wages, but the attraction was not large.

This leads to the loss of the original workers' stock. At the same time, because many inland areas have received industrial pfer from coastal areas, many labor force can also find jobs at home. Moreover, the living cost of the two or three tier cities in the mainland is lower than that of the first tier cities, making the new increment of labor force along the Haiti area unsatisfactory.

Professor Wu Yi of Guangdong University of Business's national economic research center also said that in fact, many manufacturing industries provide temporary or seasonal jobs. Because of the unstable work, it is difficult to attract workers to come to apply for jobs.

He emphasized that after ten years of western development, the economy of many provinces has been developing rapidly, and the job opportunities and working environment in many places have been very good.

Especially the real income, the difference between East and West is not very big.

Solving pformation and upgrading is the best policy.

How to find a fundamental solution to this problem encountered by export enterprises?

Jiang Lin and Wu Yi Jun agree that only industrial pformation and upgrading is the only way out.

Jiang Lin said that to change this structural imbalance, enterprises must be pformed from labor-intensive to technology intensive, and should break through from internal and external imbalance. This is also the reason why foreign trade enterprises should take the road of domestic sales.

Wu Yi told reporters a classic case of the successful pformation and upgrading of Dongguan Dalang wool textile industry.

"The wool textile industry in Dalang also faced the problem of shortage of labor. In the end, through the industrial pformation, R & D and purchase of high-tech production machinery, the production line was fundamentally changed, and Dalang town was completely out of the shadow of labor shortage.

The demand for ordinary workers in Dalang's wool textile industry has dropped by 100 thousand people in the past. At the same time, the demand for design, marketing and management personnel has risen sharply.

Jiang Lin suggested that foreign trade enterprises should have long-term plans for enterprises, including training for skilled workers, and also take advantage of the opportunity of RMB appreciation to realize investment in Southeast Asia.

It is reported that toy manufacturers in Jiangsu have begun to invest in Vietnam to set up factories.

"Early arrangements will surely bring more business opportunities."
