"Labor Shortage" Forced Shenzhen's Economic Pformation

"What is most lacking now is general workers and attendants."

There are many new generation around 20 years old.

Known as the "world factory", the "labor shortage" is becoming more and more intense. The attractiveness of salary gradually decreases, the industrial advantages are losing, the rise of the new generation of workers leads to the upgrading of job search, and the industrial upgrading and pformation of the Pearl River Delta are at a crossroads.

Pearl River Delta salary advantage no longer

Salary and remuneration are not attractive, and become the faces of many cities in the Pearl River Delta.

The China Securities Journal reporter interviewed several young migrant workers who were generally dissatisfied with the treatment.

"The basic salary of general workers is generally 900 yuan -1000 yuan / month, some enterprises have raised a little salary, but the increase is very small, and many salaries need to be worked overtime to get."

Xiao Chen, a post-90s migrant worker from Hunan, said he would return to Hunan to find a job if his salary was not appropriate.

As for the shortage of labor, Liu Hong, deputy chief of the Shenzhen Long Guan talent market, said the low salary is the most important reason.

This year, many enterprises in Shenzhen have begun to raise salaries, but the rate of increase is generally around 200 yuan / month, which obviously can not attract migrant workers.

And occasionally appeared in previous years.

Xiao Liu, a migrant worker from Hubei, told the China Securities Journal reporter that many townsmen were fighting for second tier cities in the mainland. Mainland consumption is low and salaries are not much lower than Shenzhen's.

Experts pointed out that the rapid development of the mainland cities, lack of work or will become the Pearl River Delta need to face long-term problems, the era of cheap labor that has been developing is in the past.

Job seekers upgrading of new generation workers

The labor shortage in the Pearl River Delta is more commonly seen as "shortage of general workers".

Shenzhen loda precision equipment recruitment representative told the China Securities Journal reporter, what is most lacking now is the general worker, that is, the workers engaged in simple labor on the production line, but the technical workers and management personnel have little gap.

Some service jobs are also experiencing the same problem. Shenzhen Guanlan hotel needs a large number of waiters, with a monthly salary of around 1300 yuan. The China Securities Daily reporter at the scene saw that the hotel was cold and clear before the recruitment booth.

Zhang Baoying, director of the Guangzhou municipal human resources market service center, said that the most deficient industry in Guangzhou is manufacturing, clothing, footwear and other manufacturing industries. Labor demand accounts for half of the city's total demand, and the shortage of manpower in logistics, catering and tourism is also serious.

"I have had two years of work experience, and I took part in training last year, and I plan to get a more skilled job."

A 24 year old young man told the China Securities Journal reporter that before he worked as a general manager, he felt that there was no future.

The China Securities Journal reporter interviewed some 20 year old job seekers in several labour markets in Shenzhen. These people are mostly relaxed and confident. They have expressed their hope that the work has a good technical content and a good working environment, and there is room for improvement.

After 90, Xiao Lu indicated that he would never be a pipelined worker until he had to do so. He worked too hard and often had to work overtime.

Liu Kaiming, the director of Shenzhen Institute of contemporary social observation, thinks that the family conditions and education level of the post-90s are different from those of their parents. Enterprises should face up to reality and establish a mechanism environment that can keep them growing and working at ease. They should establish a mechanism that allows employees to grow in the enterprise, create conditions for post-90s, and increase the intensity of skills training.

Industrial upgrading is imminent.

Experts point out that the current shortage of labor is partly the imbalance of supply and demand structure. Enterprises need a large number of front-line workers, but the newly growing job seekers are getting higher and higher education, and the first choice is no longer ordinary production workers.

The change of the labor force structure of the new generation will not only affect the recruitment of enterprises, but also push the upgrading of the Pearl River delta industry to a certain extent.

Mr. Luo, head of the Longhua electronics manufacturer, told the China Securities Journal reporter that the wages provided by the company are already in the upper and middle level in their peers. If the wage is raised again, the company will surely not be able to afford it.

Factories rely on foreign orders to maintain business. Now the manufacturing industry in India and Vietnam is getting more and more developed, which has a great impact on them.

Zhang Jianmin, general manager of Zhongshan Jinhai employment agency, told the China Securities Journal reporter that after the Spring Festival, the companies that recruited him recruited, but he could not recruit workers to Henan's hometown.

Because of the technical content and the industrial structure, many enterprises in Zhongshan cannot raise their salaries. If we want to attract talents, the fundamental strategy is to upgrade the industry and improve the technological content, so as to promote the development with high technology and high profits and provide high salaries.

Liu Kaiming believes that "labor shortage" to a certain extent forced Shenzhen's economic pformation, some enterprises will consider upgrading and upgrading, to achieve the pformation of production mode, some labor-intensive enterprises may migrate to the mainland, may also be eliminated by the market.

Wei Dazhi, director of the center for industrial economy research of Shenzhen University, suggested that it is the right choice for the PRD to realize the sustainable development of the Pearl River Delta by appropriately raising the minimum wage standard, speeding up the adjustment of industrial structure and realizing the pformation of development mode to relying on independent innovation and high added value.
