Korean Factories Such As Shoes And Clothing And Other Labor-Intensive Enterprises Have Returned Overseas.

< p > according to the Seoul economic news, in the past, Korean clothing, toys, < a target= "_blank" href= "http://www.91se91.com/" > shoes "/a", socks, a target= "_blank" href= "_blank", "leather" and other labor intensive industries, due to the deterioration of productivity caused by the rising labor costs, shifted the production factories to mainland China, Southeast Asian countries and other low wage countries.

Recently, because of the rising labor costs and the cancellation of preferential investment measures, the overseas factories of Korean enterprises have been reduced rapidly.

< p > analysis report points out that the Chinese mainland government provides various preferential tax measures to attract foreign enterprises to invest, but strengthens the environmental regulation after the industrial structure is developed from labor-intensive to sophisticated technology industry.

Recently, in order to expand domestic demand and shorten the income gap, the minimum wage has been substantially raised every year, and the minimum wage does not include overtime pay, bonus and 5 insurance premiums, so that enterprises pay more than 20 to 60% of the minimum wage.

Therefore, after the middle of 2000s, South Korea labor-intensive small and medium-sized enterprises once again moved the factory to Vietnam, Kampuchea, Burma, Indonesia and other Southeast Asian countries.

However, some Southeast Asian countries have gradually reduced their business environment advantage. In the beginning of this year, massive strikes and protests in Kampuchea and many other Southeast Asian countries require workers to raise wages.

< p > the other report quoted the Korean trade and industry conference as saying that overseas a href= "http://www.91se91.com/news/index_cj.asp" > production < /a > environment has deteriorated due to wage increases and control expansion in mainland China and Southeast Asian countries. After the signing of FTA with 48 countries in the world, Korea's domestic production environment has been greatly improved, but South Korea still has excessive control, competitive labor relations and anti enterprise sentiment.

The overseas factory setting of labor-intensive enterprises relying on low wages has decreased compared with the past, but big enterprises such as Samsung Electronics and Hyundai Motor still set up factories overseas.

< p > in addition, the National Federation of economic workers conducted a survey of 200 Korean enterprises entering the mainland of China. 13 of them replied that they had considered pferring the production and marketing sites to the third countries of Vietnam and Indonesia, but none of them answered the idea of returning to Korea. "Burma"

The reasons why the Korean enterprises did not consider the return were narrow domestic demand (56.5%), high labor costs (18.5%), insufficient manpower (3.2%), excessive regulation (2.2%), high tax (1.1%), and frequent labor conflicts (1.1%).

< p > with the gradual weakening of overseas factories' advantages such as rising labor costs abroad, Korean enterprises have reduced their overseas factories. However, the domestic manufacturing environment in Korea is not enough to retain overseas factories, and policy support is not enough to attract enterprises to return.
