Luo Jun: "Recruitment Difficulty" Is A Positive Signal For The Recovery Of Manufacturing Industry.

"After the financial crisis," said Luo Jun, CEO of the Asian Manufacturing Association, " Recruitment difficulties The phenomenon has emerged among many cities, indicating that China's manufacturing industry has successfully stepped out of the shadow of the financial crisis, and has begun to fully recover and labor force has increased rapidly.

He said that from the "blind flow" of a large number of migrant workers in 80s to today's "recruitment difficulty", it has truly witnessed the great changes in China's reform and opening up. Before 90s, governments at all levels focused on ensuring the full employment of urban population, for a large number of rural areas. Surplus labor force But the heart is enough but the strength is insufficient.

He said that today's pattern has undergone dramatic changes. The rural labor force is no longer known as the "blind flow", and the employment situation has also undergone fundamental changes. These changes fully reflect that China's economic structure has made gratifying achievements, and these changes show that China's industrialization and urbanization process has obviously accelerated. After the financial crisis, the phenomenon of "recruitment difficulty" appeared in many cities, indicating the full recovery of China's manufacturing industry.

　 Migrant workers become industrial workers, industrial workers become entrepreneurs.

He believes that "recruitment difficulty" is determined by the objective law of the development of productive forces, and has a very positive significance and role. How did the migrant workers lose their jobs overnight? Did they go back to Wugong or do other jobs? Through investigation, we find: first, through the 30 years of reform and opening up, China's industrialization process has obviously accelerated, and a large number of migrant workers have been transformed into experienced industrial workers. Under the double pressure of resources and environment, the industries in the eastern coastal areas began to shift to the central and western regions. The original industrial workers began to become entrepreneurs. Two, it shows that China's manufacturing industry has successfully stepped out of the shadow of the financial crisis, and has begun to fully recover.

However, in the survey, it is also found that enterprises with difficulty in recruitment are certainly not very good enterprises. They are often enterprises with poor working environment, low wages and benefits, and lack of competitiveness. And the advanced manufacturing enterprises like HUAWEI and ZTE did not appear "recruitment difficulty" phenomenon.

　　 Transformation and structural adjustment is the top priority for enterprises to survive or die.

He said that the key to relieving "recruitment difficulties" or thoroughly solving "recruitment difficulties" is that enterprises should adapt themselves to the needs of social development, accelerate the pace of industrial upgrading and structural adjustment, and rely on science and technology to transform and upgrade traditional industries. At the same time, enterprises should create a comfortable and relaxed working environment for their employees and stimulate their enthusiasm for work. Secondly, the government should actively guide enterprises to eliminate backward production processes in a timely manner, strictly implement the state's environmental protection policies, and resolutely put an end to the production of high emission, high pollution and high radiation. In addition, the government should seize the opportunity of industrial upgrading and structural adjustment, provide various supporting policies for the development of new industries, and encourage enterprises with independent intellectual property rights to further strengthen and expand. {page_break}

　　 Labor cost advantage It will continue to exist, but the gap is narrowing.

He pointed out that in the past 30 years since China's reform and opening up to the outside world, China's manufacturing industry has made achievements. So what does China's manufacturing industry rely on to win? On the cheap labor cost advantage, the average wage of industrial workers in the United States in the past 10 years is about 20 thousand yuan, while the average Chinese industrial worker is 800 yuan. Today, when the average wage of industrial workers in China is increased to 1800 yuan, the wages of American industrial workers have reached about 30 thousand yuan. Wages and benefits are indeed an important factor in recruitment. But on the surface, it seems to be wages and benefits. What actually reflects is the comprehensive competitive strength of enterprises. If the enterprises do not have good economic benefits, how can they give their employees generous benefits?

He said that China's manufacturing industry used to rely on cheap labor costs advantages can not be sustained for a long time, this strategy is not a permanent solution. The labor cost of the industrialized countries such as Vietnam and Philippines is only about 10 years ago, and a large number of labor-intensive industries in China begin to shift to neighboring countries. Along with the acceleration of China's industrialization process, China's manufacturing industry has made many progress in the high-end field. The core of the competition of Chinese manufacturing industry in the future is technology. Today, China's industrial upgrading and structural adjustment measures are aimed at comprehensively enhancing the core competitiveness of China's industry.

　　 Significant improvement in labor quality and comprehensive ability is conducive to industrial upgrading.

He stressed that it is obvious that there is not much difference between migrant workers and urban children in employment, which reflects social fairness and reduces discrimination and inequality. The first generation of migrant workers are basically illiterate or semi illiterate, lack of corresponding cultural skills, engage in "dirty, bitter, tired" labor activities; the second generation of migrant workers are basically secondary school graduates or technical secondary school students, who are able to skillfully use new technologies such as computers, start working as mechanical operators in the factory and become skilled industrial workers; the third generation of migrant workers are basically college students or students of Career Technical College, who have formal and systematic learning experiences and are basically in the same working class as urban children.

"On the whole, the labor structure of our country has improved with the improvement of the economic structure, and the labor force has become more mature and stable, which has provided strong support for China's industrial upgrading and development. Of course, the improvement of the quality of labor force and wages and benefits have also undergone great changes. In general, it has been adapted to China's economic and social development. Some science and technology manufacturing enterprises may also face "recruitment difficulties" in the short term, but this phenomenon will be a short-term phenomenon and will not last. Luo Jun said.
