Women Workers In Dongguan Are Over 50 Years Old. They Are Still Popular.

At present, Pearl River Delta footwear industry The main production force is composed of "60 after", "70 after" and some "post-80s", while the emphasis on self "85" and "post-90s" has become a headache for operators because of frequent trades and large fluidity. At one time, these shoemaking owners liked young and energetic employees, but today they have to endure the aging of workers and the fact that manufacturing workers are out of touch.

In the process of large-scale anti pornography in Dongguan, did a group of young girls abandon their prostitutes and help them to ease the difficulties of employment in Dongguan's manufacturing industry?

Faced with this topic, a veteran in the footwear industry in Dongguan said with a cunning smile, "it is unlikely that such service industry practitioners will be able to adapt to the environment of manufacturing workers and prefer to return home."

These days, he drove to a dozen or even hundreds of shoe factories in Dongguan, and found that most of the shoe factories had a front door. Many shoe factory leaders generally reflected that as of the Lantern Festival, only about 30% of the workers returned to the factory. At this time, workers returning to factories have reached half or even seven or eight percent.

The recruitment of Dongguan's manufacturing industry is difficult year by year. This trend has been irreversible, and some factories have even been vacant for a long time.

In the past few days, several shoe factories and garment factories stationed in the West (Guizhou) shoemaking Industrial Park have recruited hundreds of people each day, resulting in a large number of workers who are applying for jobs every day. Labor intensive industries such as "world factory" Dongguan and other parts of the Pearl River Delta are accelerating to move to the central and western parts of the country and Southeast Asia.

In fact, the operators of the labour intensive enterprises in the PRD also had their "happy" days.

Dongguan shoe maker Yao Ping (a pseudonym) recalled that years ago, during the golden era of easy money in shoemaking industry, he used to spend money in Dongguan nightclubs, and it was not surprising to throw tens of thousands of dollars a night. Now, when he enters the year of knowing destiny, he has no longer set foot in the field of entertainment. Although he devoted himself wholeheartedly to his beloved footwear industry, he has been unable to find out a way to break through from strengthening design and enhancing value-added to expanding domestic sales and building up brands. At the peak time, there are only more than 200 people left in the factory of thousands of people. He is also on the verge of bankruptcy because of rising manufacturing costs and high domestic retail costs.

On the one hand, most foreign trade Order All are cabbage prices, on the other hand, workers' wages are still rising all the way. Yao Ping sighs that Dongguan shoe enterprises are increasingly struggling, and the monthly salary of 3500 yuan is still unable to find skilled workers.

Where have all the former manufacturing workers gone?

In recent years, some migrant workers have been returning to their farms in succession. With the price of some crops rising and the information in the Internet era more open, many people have been able to find business opportunities from the [-0.82% research fund of agricultural products,][-0.71% fund research report, and become rich. Some migrant workers have saved some money after a few years' work, and then started to do some small businesses.

At present, the main production force of the Pearl River Delta footwear industry is composed of "60 after", "70 after" and some "post-80s", while the emphasis on self "85" and "post-90s" has become a headache for operators because of frequent trades and large fluidity. At one time, these shoemaking owners liked young and energetic employees, but today they have to suffer from the aging of workers and the fact that the manufacturing teams are out of touch.

Gu Chang, a general manager of a listed Footwear Company in Guangdong, has just signed contracts with more than 50 year old women workers, who are originally workers in his shoe factory. When Gu Chang moved the factory from Taiwan to Guangdong, some workers had been working with him for more than ten decades, and for the first time there were a number of female workers who reached retirement age.

However, Gu Chang chose to continue to hire these women workers, because on the one hand, it is difficult to recruit suitable young workers. On the other hand, these old workers are much better than some of the young people in shoemaking and dedication. However, he was told by the relevant labor department not long ago that he had reached the age of 50 and reached the retirement age. He could not continue to sign the labor contract, but could only sign the employment contract or labor contract. And this will bring many new problems. For example, these women workers can no longer pay "five risks and one gold". However, some people have not yet paid social security for 15 years because they have worked late or have not worked in other factories before, which means that they may not be able to enjoy certain benefits. On this issue, Gu Chang is communicating with the relevant departments and expects to get the corresponding solution.

Besides, these women workers who sign labor contracts must bear their own labor risk responsibilities. To this end, Gu Chang paid for the business accident insurance for these women workers who reached retirement age. At the same time, he is also worried that now the traditional manufacturing industry operating costs continue to climb, profits are getting thinner and thinner. As the burden becomes heavier and heavier, their factories can not rule out the possibility of one day's relocation. What can these workers, especially the elderly workers, do when they can't support them?

Many workers who are unwilling to pay social security have volunteered to raise their rights awareness and worry about the future. Endowment insurance Such as "five risks and one gold", and asked the factory to make up for the unpaid before, which involves a large fee. Some old factory operators simply shut down the PRD factories, turn to other places to build factories or invest in other fields. The investment in the property market or the purchase of financial products may be much higher than the profits of the factories, and the risks and pressures are not so great. The traditional manufacturing industry that has once been a sight has been gradually marginalized, and the order of the cabbage price, the meager profit, how to make the peasant workers decent work and old dependence, this has become a difficult problem for the factory operators and the society to face together.
