A Large Number Of Cheap Korean Workers Are Pouring Into Dandong Factories. Chinese Enterprises Tend To Employ Korean Workers.

Original title: cheap Korea The influx of labor has led China to make adjustments to a Singapore company to open factories in Dandong and make men's suits to Europe. Before the company's factory in Pyongyang, because of the power supply problem moved to a more stable situation in China. The factory has 400 twenty or thirty year old North Korean workers. A Taiwan businessman who had opened a factory in Shanghai also planned to move the factory to Dandong and employ more than 100 North Korean workers. Another factory producing sportswear also moved to the border area of China and Korea, where 300 North Korean women workers worked there. A chemical plant 1 kilometers away also hired North Korean women workers.

These North Korean workers are limited in their actions. They live in a factory dormitory. At lunchtime, two or three people form a group of restaurants that can reach 3 minutes' walk. A nearby Chinese said, "I only know which factory they work in, but they have no knowledge of their private life."

The supply and demand of Korean labor force fluctuated with the market. Average month of Chinese workers wages For 2000 to 3000 yuan, North Korean workers were 1500 yuan. Some workers hold short-term training visas, and their visa can be extended according to the agreement reached between Dandong and DPRK. Because they did not have the freedom to change their workplace, the factory did not have to worry about the sudden outflow of staff.

The Koreans are willing to work in China because the wages here are higher than those in Kaesong. Industrial Park The area is still high. They will not get all the salaries. They will get 150 yuan to 200 yuan at the end of the month, and the rest will be owned by the Korean government. Even so, the income is much higher than that in the North Korea. Therefore, the competition for dispatched workers is fierce and the selection process is very comprehensive. "They will conduct a comprehensive investigation of the three generation of relatives of the dispatched workers. If there are any problems, they will be excluded. Every family can only have one person. " A labor agency official said: "the Korean government hopes to send more labor workers, but China is trying to limit the number of workers because of worries about the wage level of Chinese workers. Even in China, there are conflicts of interest and differences between provinces and municipalities in the field of economic cooperation with North Korea.

It is estimated that there are more than 20 thousand North Korean women working in textile factories and food processing factories in the border areas of China and the DPRK, and others in the high-tech industries such as information technology and animation industry. If the unregistered workers are included, the true figure may be even higher.

With more and more young Chinese workers looking for white-collar jobs instead of physical labor, Chinese businessmen are closely watching the next move of the DPRK. Getting a stable and well managed workforce is a great advantage. The cost of accommodation for a worker is about 400 yuan to 500 yuan, but the cheap labor can completely compensate for this. In view of this, more and more Chinese enterprises tend to employ Korean workers.
