Thoughts On The Wage Growth Of Low Income Workers

Of the 100 wage earners in the country, only 12 people earn more than 3000 yuan a month, and the other 88 are below 3000 yuan.

If

The state will increase the wage level of workers in the "12th Five-Year" development plan, and clearly put forward the growth target.

In late April, Yang Zhiming, Vice Minister of the Ministry of human resources and social security, revealed at the National Working Conference on labor relations that China should strive to achieve an annual wage increase of 15%, so that the wage growth of workers could double during the "12th Five-Year" period.

1. The main characteristics of the current low-income groups

In 2010, China's gross domestic product surpassed Japan, and China became the second largest economy in the world, but China's per capita GDP ranked 127th in the world.

The weak foundation, poor foundation and large population are still the basic national conditions of our country. Our country is still in the primary stage of socialism.

1., widely distributed.

From the nature of enterprises, they are mainly distributed in private enterprises, accounting for about 50% of the total number of employees. From the perspective of industry characteristics, they are mainly distributed in textile, machinery and other labor-intensive traditional manufacturing industries, construction, catering, accommodation, commerce, entertainment, security, housekeeping and other service industries, which also account for about 50% of the total number of employees.

2. more people.

In April this year, the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress deliberated on the draft amendment to the personal income tax law, which raised the reduction standard of personal income tax wages and salaries (Exemption) from 2000 yuan per month to 3000 yuan per month, and the tax rate was reduced from 9 to 7.

To this end, Xie Xuren, Minister of finance, said that the proportion of workers earning income to total wage income will drop from the current 28% to around 12%, so the state will reduce the personal income tax by about 127 billion yuan.

In other words, only 12 of the 100 wage earners in the country earn more than 3000 yuan per month, and the other 88 are below 3000 yuan.

According to the 2010 national statistical bulletin, the total number of employed people in China is 779 million 950 thousand, of which 311 million 200 thousand are towns and 484 million 940 thousand rural, including 242 million 230 thousand migrant workers.

If the wage income refers to the urban employment population plus migrant workers, the total wage earners in the country are 553 million 430 thousand people, 12% are 66 million 410 thousand people, so 88% of the 487 million 20 thousand people earn less than 3000 yuan a month, and most of the monthly income is below 2000 yuan.

3. low income.

Labor-intensive, catering and other three industries, small and medium enterprises, private enterprises, the low income of workers is a national problem.

According to the statistics bulletin of the relevant departments in 2010, the average annual wage of the non private units in the whole country is large, with a national average of 37147 yuan per capita and a maximum of 71874 yuan in Shanghai, while the average annual wage of the private sector is not large, with a national average of 20759 yuan per capita.

According to the survey, in the traditional manufacturing industries such as silk and textile industry, the monthly salary of workers and staff members is usually around 1500 yuan; the monthly income of employees, such as accommodation, catering, culture, sports, entertainment and business services, is usually around 1240 yuan; the graduates of secondary and technical schools work in private enterprises, because of their small number of posts, the number of people who want to get employed, the competition is fierce, and the general income is low.

In private enterprises, there is no normal wage growth mechanism. Some have not even increased wages for 5 or 10 years. Even if they increase by one hundred or two hundred yuan, they can not keep up with the speed of price rise.

And, in terms of insurance, the current policy endowment insurance workers pay 8%, enterprises pay 20%; medical insurance, workers pay 2%, enterprises pay 6.5%, many enterprises are unable to bear, the personal burden of old-age insurance is included in the wages of workers, let the workers themselves to pay insurance.

Two. Analysis of the reasons for the difficulty of low income workers' income growth

In the monopoly industry, the wage growth of workers and the average wages of society are increasing constantly. The problem of low-income people's income growth has aroused widespread concern in the society. The income growth of low-income groups is slow or difficult to grow, mainly for the following reasons:

1. inadequate investigation and analysis.

In the planned economy period, the State applies the total wage management to the enterprises, and the wage growth of the employees is determined by the national unification. Management and regulation are relatively in place and effective.

After the implementation of the market economic system, due to the diversity of organizational forms and the diversification of labor relations, the state's investigation and analysis of the wages of workers focus on state-owned monopoly industries, civil servants and public institutions. The survey and analysis of wage and income status of small and medium-sized enterprises, private enterprise employees, individual industrial and commercial households and migrant workers who have the largest number of employees and the largest number of employees are not enough. Some of them have not even been included in the statistical scope. It is very difficult to provide accurate and accurate first-hand basis for the state to build a scientific and reasonable income distribution system suitable for the current national conditions.

2. overall coordination is not in place.

The gap between regions, the gap between industries, the gap between mental labor and manual labor, and the gap between executives and general workers' income are not properly handled.

Moreover, with the rapid development of the economy, the 3 production factors of land, resources and capital have played a huge wealth adjustment power. Wealth has concentrated on a few people and accelerated the two level differentiation of wealth distribution.

3., the policy is not complete.

The income of state-owned resources and assets is owned by the whole people, but it makes a small number of people enjoy too much. The fruits of economic development have benefited the masses of people, but due to the defects and deficiencies of the system design, the sharing of reform and development achievements is not fair. Although the state has increased investment and strengthened the construction of social security system, it has not taken into account the differences between industries, and has increased the burden of small and medium-sized enterprises with labor-intensive and three production services, which is not conducive to the development of SMEs and the full employment of the society, and the increase of the income of many low-income workers.

4. the income distribution system is not perfect.

The front-line workers, especially the labor-intensive enterprises, especially the labor-intensive enterprises, have low wages and low wages, and the proportion of low income workers is relatively large. The workers whose wages are lower than the local average wage are 70% to 80%.

The 5. regulation system is not adaptable.

The macro control system and means of wage distribution can not meet the needs of the development of market economy.

It is mainly manifested in the fact that wage distribution laws and regulations are not perfect, law enforcement is not yet in place, the information guidance system related to wage distribution is not sound enough, the wage guidance line, the wage price of labor market, and the guidance system of labor cost information have not yet played the guiding role, and the minimum wage system has yet to be perfected. The total wage management of enterprises, the wage level of administrative organs and institutions, the coordination of enterprises' wages, and the regulation of industry wage gap have not yet established a system or forming mechanism; the personal income tax system is not sound enough, the supervision is not in place, and the tax adjustment function of redistribution has not been effectively played.

Three, policy recommendations for improving the income of low-income workers.

Wages are the core of the economic interests of staff and workers, and they are also the important foundation and prerequisite for building a harmonious society.

1., we should focus on improving the income of low-income workers as the focus of the reform of the income distribution system.

The doubling of wage growth should prevent egalitarianism.

At present, the labor relations in our country are diversified and complex. The income gap of workers in different industries is large. Especially, some monopoly industries and some executives are far more than the overwhelming majority of employees. If the increase of wage is doubled, it is equalitarianism. The wages of high income industries and high income groups have risen sharply, or the increase has exceeded the average growth rate.

The departments concerned should not only pay attention to the issue of wage increase for civil servants, public institutions and state-owned enterprises, but also pay more attention to the issue of wage growth of the labor-intensive traditional manufacturing industries and the low-income workers of the three service industries.

2., we should intensify efforts to establish a sound national income basic investigation and analysis system.

At present, the adjustment of economic structure, the pformation of development mode, the rapid development of science and technology, the acceleration of the pace of economic and social development, the acceleration of the frequency of changes in the distribution of workers' income, we must grasp this change as a basic work for building a harmonious society. We must strengthen the investigation, record and analysis of income changes from different regions, sectors, groups, etc., and establish and improve the system and network construction of the basic investigation and analysis system of national income with the help of modern scientific and technological means, so as to provide the basis and reference for the rational adjustment of income distribution and the establishment of a practical wage growth mechanism.

3., we should strengthen the mechanism of wage growth for low-income workers.

First, the establishment of basic wage + efficiency wage + wage structure wage system, is conducive to the stability of enterprise staff and personnel training; two is to establish a system of wage consultation and joint decision between enterprises and employees, to achieve the simultaneous growth of wages and benefits of enterprises; three, to establish a supervision and implementation system for wage growth of employees; the government's labor departments, industry and commerce departments should strengthen supervision; and the four is to punish enterprises in violation of wage laws in time.

4., we need to strengthen policy matching to ensure the growth of low-income workers' income.

First, the state owned resources and the income of state-owned assets should be shared by all the people in a fair and reasonable way. Two, we should strengthen the public service function of finance, increase the input of public service facilities such as pportation, education, medical treatment, affordable housing and so on, so that the overwhelming majority of the people can share the fruits of reform and development. The three is to strengthen social security support for low-income laborer, such as labor-intensive traditional manufacturing industry, catering service industry and other small and medium enterprises, which attract more and more employees, and reduce the burden of enterprises, promote full employment and promote social harmony and stability.

The four is to establish an allowance subsidy system suitable for inflation so as to ensure that the majority of low-income workers are not affected by the rapid rise in prices.
