China Overseas Press, April 2 According to the Japanese New Overseas Chinese Newspaper, the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare conducted a survey on salary conditions for companies with a size of more than 10 people. The survey covers the whole of Japan, including foreign labor.
This is also the first time that the Japanese government has included the foreign labor force in a comprehensive survey after the implementation of the amendments to the "New Entry Control Law" on April 1, 2019.
The survey results show that in Japan, the average monthly salary of a foreign labor force is 223,100 yen, and the average monthly salary of a domestic labor force is 307,700 yen. There is a gap of 84,600 yen between the two.
In addition, as of the end of October 2019, there were 1.66 million foreign laborers working in Japan. The average working age of the Japanese labor force is 12.4 years, while the foreign labor force is only 3.1 years. The average age of the foreign labor force surveyed is about 10 years younger than the average age of the domestic labor force.
In this regard, the reporter interviewed Ms. Chen, a Chinese employee working in an electrical store in Ikebukuro. Facing the problem that the salary of foreign laborers is lower than that of Japanese people, she said that she can understand that Japanese society pays more attention to loyalty, and long working life means experience More contributions. And striving to improve personal ability and pay attention to maintaining the image of the motherland are the first things that foreign labors must consider. Under this premise, we must also actively understand Japanese laws and regulations and learn to protect our legitimate rights and interests. (Wang Yayi)
