After the Lunar New Year, a new round of migrant workers leaving the country to work is coming. Different from previous years, before the Spring Festival, many traditional labor provinces such as the southeast and south China have already experienced labor shortages. In Hubei, Sichuan and other labor export provinces, the local government and hardware companies have introduced more measures to “intercept†migrant workers – from which we may hear the footsteps of the Chinese hardware industry. The new generation of migrant workers has made a big difference with the older generations. They are pouring into the city. What they want to find is not only a food and clothing, but also hope for more gains. The jobs and treatment provided by the traditional hardware manufacturing industry are not enough to attract them to leave their homes. This may be another major driving force for the transformation and upgrading of the low-end hardware manufacturing industry along the coast. With the quiet changes in China's economy and the unwillingness of the new generation of migrant workers to work hard, the "labor shortage" in the hardware industry has become increasingly fierce. To solve this problem, small and medium-sized hardware companies still have a long way to go.
The new generation of migrant workers are reluctant to do physical work. "I will work as a mechanic, a fitter, and a welder. The salary is about 2,500 yuan." Xiao Wang, 22 years old, said that working hours should not be too long, not too dirty and too tired. Ideal for small lathe factories." Xiao Wang’s family has 4 brothers and sisters. He is a young and old, and his parents and brothers are working outside the country a few years ago. "Our family is rural, but it can live in a big house. The TV refrigerator and washing machine are all complete." He admits that the family is in good condition and he has not suffered much. At the age of 22, he stayed in the labor market for three days, but he never found a suitable job. Wang Zhongwu, a professor of sociology at Shandong University, said that the new generation of migrant workers have certain knowledge and higher requirements for salary, welfare, personal health and development prospects than the previous generation. Nowadays, many rural youths do not do farm work, and they are also very fashionable to wear. The lifestyle and ideal pursuit have been urbanized, but their personal abilities are far from the high-end employment market, and complex labor cannot bear. "The reduction of new generation of migrant workers has also increased the 'labor shortage'." The great mobility affects enterprises. There are two reasons for the shortage of labor in the coastal areas in 2011: First, the labor exporters are reluctant to let young and strong migrant workers Working outside the home; second, most of the current migrant workers are second-generation migrant workers. The purpose of their work is mainly to experience life in developed areas, with many ideas and instability, so the workers are highly mobile. If they are close to home, the wages are not much different, they would rather choose to work or start a business in their hometown. Most factories in a hardware company in Ningbo control the labor turnover rate within 10%. The turnover rate of workers in the hardware industry in Ningbo is generally 20%-25%, while the turnover rate of small and medium-sized hardware companies can reach 40%. The labor force is sufficient, and the selectivity of our orders is relatively large. In the absence of labor, orders received will be limited. The impact of excessive labor mobility on some small factories is very obvious. If there are fewer workers, they will not be able to take orders. If they do not take orders, the remaining workers will also go, so many times even if they lose money, they have to start work. The trend of salary increase: high technology is just around the corner In 2010, the market sentiment "swelled up", from the agricultural and sideline industries to the equipment manufacturing industry, no one was spared. The rise in consumer goods has indirectly raised labor costs. Since May, Guangdong Province has adjusted the minimum wage standard for enterprises, and domestic enterprises have begun to face the most severe “rising tide†in the past 30 years. Hardware-intensive manufacturing companies, which are mainly labor-intensive, are suffering from rising wages. Under this circumstance, hardware companies have taken the time to find ways to remove business from corporate management and business models. After seeing that the labor force no longer dominates, Yongkang, the capital of China's hardware, turned to technological innovation and applied intelligence. For example, the company engaged in the production of recreational vehicles, on the basis of the original models, has become a smart car through automation design and modification, and the price has increased from 70,000 yuan to 400,000 yuan; Jiaxing's integrated ceiling, through technological innovation, short In the past few years, it has developed into a leading industry with an output value of several billion yuan... Technological innovation is the main reason why enterprises are invincible. China's hardware enterprises through technological innovation, small hardware products can also support high-tech signs, and quickly promote the development of an industry, after the comprehensive strength is improved, the wage increase of workers will not bring much impact. The labor shortage is a new phenomenon that has emerged in recent years. It is the new phenomenon with the most Chinese characteristics. On the one hand, it is the country with the most population, while on the other hand, the enterprise cannot recruit people. It exposes the unreasonableness of our previous policies and urgently needs adjustment. Some insiders pointed out that in terms of conventional thinking, the "labor shortage" means that the labor supply is less than demand, and the market will raise the equilibrium wage level spontaneously according to the game results of both the supply and demand sides. However, the facts show that low-end simple labor suppliers are not valued by enterprises because of their strong substitution, and wage levels are still low. It is understandable that enterprises pursue the maximization of interests. Therefore, the "labor shortage" cannot be expected to be solved unilaterally by the enterprise. It must be actively involved and guided by the regulatory authorities.Duct Spacing,Diamond Dotted Paper,Transformer Duct Strip
