No further adjustments for Hainan and 3 other provinces/cities since 2010

 

2011 December 29th, Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security Minister Yin Weimin said in a national human resources and social security conference that a total of 24 provinces adjusted their minimum wage during the year with an average increase of 22%.

 

However, Hainan, Heilongjiang, and Tibet did not join in. At present, the minimum wages in effect for Hainan, Heilongjiang, and Tibet are still those following the 2010 July 1st adjustment.

Among them, the current monthly minimum wage in Hainan is 830 yuan while the hourly minimum wage is 7.5 yuan, ranked at the very bottom. Heilongjiang’s current monthly minimum wage is 880 yuan, and its hourly minimum wage is 8.5 yuan. Tibet’s current monthly minimum wage is 950 yuan, and its hourly minimum wage is 8.5 yuan.

 

According to reports, Hainan has already put raising the minimum wage on its agenda. Heilongjian too has proposed a normalizing wage growth mechanism where worker income levels are to reasonably and quickly increase, with over 13% annual average minimum wage increases, so that the minimum wage will reach 40% or more of the average wages of local urban workers.

 

According to China’s “Minimum Wage Regulations”, the minimum wage of every region must be adjusted at least once every two years.

According to a Lhasa Evening News report, the Tibet Autonomous Region released in February the “Tibet Autonomous Region Minimum Wage Regulations” requiring that the minimum wage be timely adjusted when change occurs in the factors used to determine the minimum wage. The minimum wage must be adjusted at least once every two years.

According to a Hebei Youth Daily report, Hebei Province will timely formulate and release guidance on the minimum wage and wage growth this year. Preliminary considerations have the minimum wage to be adjusted upward no less than 15% to progressively reach 40% of the average wages of local urban workers. It is reported that the last adjustment in Hebei was made 2011 July 1st. (China News Service Finance Channel)

I live in China as an ex pat from the USA. I can answer a few of your quenitoss but not all.I will also answer based on the area I live.Keep in mind, where I live, in the central part of China, the cost of living is low. The big eastern cities the cost of living is higher. Therefore, wages are higher, just like they are in San Francisco as opposed to some little town in North Dakota.All answers are in Yuan = 7.6/$1Factory worker 1,000 to 2,000 depending on the companyPrivate employee’s. 600 to 1,200Government, I’m not sure, I will try to find out. I assume it is higher since the ones I see seem to be better dressed and groomed.Yes there is minimum wage in China but it is based on regional cost of living as opposed to the USA which has a national minimum wage. I believe some area’s do not have a minimum wage. I think the China way is better. Reason is obvious, in San Francisco the minimum living wage is over $20 an hour, whereas in some small town in Mississippi, the minimum living wage would be considerably cheaper. The minimum wage in the USA is a lot of smoke and mirrors, the one in China, where they have one, makes one hell of a lot more sense.No there is not equal pay between men and woman. There is also age discrimination and it is common for a company to tell a perspective employee they are too old. HOWEVER, a few months back China has drafted a law that will make those millennium age practices come to an end. Age, gender, etc, race, etc, will no longer be tolerated. But the law is only in the draft stage and may take a year or so to become law.I have no idea what the highest paid jobs are, I would assume it would be like the west, a CEO of a large company.The lowest wage I have seen is 600 yuan a month. I find most private employee’s are making that up to about 1,200 a month. I could not imagine trying to live off of 600 a month. That would be equivalent to the lowest wage in the USA. Usually, like the USA, all they can afford is to live with parent or relative, or a room in a private home or the same without a kitchen in a run down apartment complex.PeaceJim.

Hands down, Apple’s app store wins by a mile. It’s a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I’m not sure I’d want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.
