January 21st hearing

In the local TV, newspaper and even network of Guangxi Nanning, China ASEAN Economic Zone (hereinafter referred to as ASEAN)

"The first phase of the company's employment is 8000 people, but now only more than 1000 people."

According to Zhang Rongjian, deputy director of the ASEAN Economic Zone Management Committee, with the heat wave of industrial pfer and regional development, in 2009, especially in 2010, the number of people from Pearl River Delta and Yangtze River Delta jumped rapidly, and many important projects of ASEAN economic zone also fell for nearly two years.

"The industry is just beginning to suffer from labor shortage.

How can the economy take off when the foundation is unstable? "Zhang Yuanheng asked this question about the embarrassment faced by the westward movement of the industry.

The fact that labor shortage has forced the westward shift of labor-intensive enterprises to change its original management mode.

"Foreign companies are more like state-owned enterprises in the 80s of last century."

Zhang Yuanheng said.

In the Maas Group factory area of the ASEAN Economic Zone, volleyball courts, basketball courts, HD movie projection rooms, medical rooms, kindergartens, supermarkets, libraries and so on are all available, all of which are not available at the 5000 base of Dongguan headquarters.

Economic Park: Labor gap 30 thousand

"We also have factories in Shanghai, Dongguan and Shandong. We thought that the shortage of labor was only a coastal problem. Later it was discovered that this is a national problem."

Zhang Yuanheng recalled that the company pferred part of its capacity to Nanning, partly because it avoided workers in the Pearl River Delta where labor shortages were scarce.

The total investment of mace group's footwear industry in ASEAN economic zone is RMB 560 million yuan, the first phase needs 8000 workers, and the two phase is completed. After merging, the total needs 15 thousand people.

Zhang Yuanheng admitted that when the mus group entered the park, it brought three downstream supporting enterprises, and the three big shoe factories plus supporting businesses, which required more than twenty thousand employees. "Only a few of our manufacturers have drained the local surplus labor force."

Many emerging economic parks in the mainland have not yet formed industrial clusters similar to the Pearl River Delta and Yangtze River Delta. They can not attract a large number of provincial labor force as a supplement, and rely on local or nearby labor resources to meet the employment demand of labor-intensive enterprises.

Zhang Rongjian said that in order to help enterprises solve the problem of employment, the park has not only advertised in the major media and channels, but also has given a relatively large enterprise 1 million funds to recruit workers.

"We also promised to give 5 million yuan to help them recruit workers."

It only recruited nearly 8000 people for the three shoe factories of Max, Nan Xi and Guan Quan, but because the labor intensive enterprises rely too much on the labor force, the current number of recruitment workers can not meet all the needs of enterprises.

Job shortage thirty thousand:

Labor intensive enterprises moving inland

Zhang Rongjian believes that the most important thing for the enterprises who move to the mainland to recruit and leave their employees is to be attractive in salary, such as the monthly salary of Wang Laoji employees in the ASEAN economic zone is 1600-1800 yuan / month. After the start-up of Zhujiang Beer, it is estimated that it will also provide 1500-1600 yuan / month salary.

The feeling of enterprises is, "originally wanted to pfer the mainland to reduce labor costs, but now this piece basically has no hope".

Zhang Yuanheng said that under the shortage of labor, the relocation of enterprises to raise wages has virtually accelerated the rise of labor prices in the mainland.

On the other hand, the welfare category outside wages is different from the Pearl River Delta.

In addition to the five risks and one gold, the mainland has other serious diseases. The enterprises need to pay 563 yuan / month for their employees. Under the medical insurance system in Dongguan, enterprises only need to pay 102 yuan / month, wages and benefits are added, and the cost of Nanning factories is tied to Dongguan.

Zhang Rongjian also believes that the price of agricultural products began to rise in 2009, which significantly increased farmers' land revenue. "Land revenues are almost the same as those entering factories", while farming crops are less used. Migrant workers are unwilling to make nine to five workers in factories every day, which also increases recruitment difficulty.

In addition, as the real estate industry is booming, the real estate construction workers in Nanning's surrounding areas have a monthly salary of up to 3000 yuan.

Some of the low wage manufacturing enterprises will not be able to meet this level in the short term.

"The situation is too different from that in 2005, the fluctuation of exchange rate, the shrinking demand in Europe and the United States, coupled with the increase in production costs."

Zhang Yuanheng said that the wage advantage of labor-intensive industries is reflected in the later stage. The wage of the laborer will be much different from that of the general workers. "We often tell our employees that after 3000-4000 years' hard work, the wages of the skilled workers will not be worse than those of Guangzhou and Dongguan," he said.

Under the premise that the cost of labor has been leveled off, the group has invested in the public facilities such as cinemas and supermarkets in Nanning.

Zhang Yuanheng explained that the supporting facilities of the ASEAN economic zone had not yet been built, and that the factory built its own facilities to stabilize its military strength.

Zhang Rongjian said that in addition to constantly improving the public services such as life and medical care, the park will build public rental housing to attract labor force and reduce the investment of the factory dormitory.
