Analyzing the Labor Shortage in China
Early this year, at a job fair held in Fuzhou, more than 50,000 positions designed to encourage farmers to move to urban areas went unfilled. A 2005 survey conducted in Guangdong Province shows that although a third of the manufacturers there have tried to solve the country’s labor shortage by raising wages and benefits, overall demand still exceeds supply by more than one million positions. This year, the labor shortage has further extended into other cities, including Beijing and Tianjing, and beyond. Such a phenomenon has led to concerns that China may lose the advantage it has of abundant low-cost labor. Against this backdrop, Knowledge@Wharton interviewed some experts for their opinions on China’s labor issues.
