Will steadily and cautiously adjust minimum wage standards
Adjusting the minimum wage standard is an important means to increase the remuneration of workers, especially low-income workers. It is reported that China's "Minimum Wage Regulations" clearly state that the minimum wage standards in each region must be adjusted at least once every two years. The "National Human Rights Action Plan (2012-2015)" issued by the State Council on June 11 also proposed establishing a normal wage growth mechanism, steadily increasing the minimum wage standards, with an average annual growth of more than 13%.
Minister of Human Resources and Social Security Yin Weimin stated at the national human resources and social security work conference on December 18 that in 2012, China's wage income distribution system reform progressed steadily, the regulation of civil servant allowances and subsidies and the implementation of performance-based pay in public institutions proceeded orderly, and 23 provinces raised the minimum wage standards within the year. From 2008 to 2012, the national minimum wage standard increased by an average of 12.6% annually.
Regarding the work in 2013, Yin Weimin proposed: first, to improve the enterprise wage system. Improve the wage guidance levels in the human resources market and the industry labor cost information guidance system, accelerate the establishment of enterprise salary survey and information release systems, and explore the release of wage guidance lines for key industries. At the same time, actively expand the coverage of collective wage negotiations and promote the establishment of a normal wage growth mechanism. Explore the establishment of a minimum wage standard evaluation mechanism and steadily and cautiously adjust the minimum wage standards.
