Zhongxin Finance, February 27 (Shi Rui) Under the protection of a series of "employment stabilization" and "employment protection" policies issued by the state, the labor market will resume growth in 2021.
Recently, the sixth "enterprise cost" large-scale survey report (hereinafter referred to as the report) released by the Chinese Academy of Fiscal Sciences shows the above trend.
According to the survey, in the first half of 2018-2021, the average monthly salary of sample companies increased from 4,182 yuan to 5,367 yuan, with an average increase of 9.44%.
Among them, in 2019, it increased by 9.36% compared with 2018. In 2020, due to the impact of the new crown epidemic, the average monthly salary increase of sample companies decreased by about 5.17%, and only increased by 4.19% year-on-year, but the average monthly salary increase in the first half of 2021 reached 12.63% %.
Average salaries vary significantly across industries.
The report pointed out that in the first half of 2021, the average monthly salary of sample enterprises in the financial industry was 8,330 yuan, the highest in the research industry, and the real estate industry and technology-intensive industries ranked second or third, at 6,870 yuan and 6,630 yuan respectively; The wage level in the industrial and consumer service industries is relatively low, and the average monthly wage in the accommodation and catering industry in the first half of 2021 is only 3,778 yuan.
For companies, rising wages mean an increase in corporate costs. According to the survey, nearly 80% of the sample companies said that the total salary will increase in 2021, which will bring greater cost pressure to the company.
According to the survey data, the proportion of labor costs in the total cost of enterprises continues to rise, from 24.15% in 2018 to 24.67% in 2019, and further to 24.86% in 2020.
The report believes that labor costs in the new development stage will show a trend of rising.
As the demographic dividend is gradually fading, it will inevitably lead to a trend of expanding the gap between labor supply and demand, which will lead to an increase in the explicit labor cost of enterprises. In addition, due to the increase in the aging population, the pension insurance payment part of the labor cost, which is legally borne by the enterprise, will increase with the increase of the labor cost. Changes in labor market supply and demand and the continuous improvement of the social insurance system will continue to grow in the long run.
"The issue of labor costs for enterprises requires coordinating economic and social development, jumping out of the single perspective of enterprises or workers, and taking into account labor income and employment quality, enterprise production and industrial upgrading, salary market decisions and basic income protection, and balance multiple goals. ' the report said.
