Real wage costs in manufacturing

Declining competitiveness is best captured in a single indicator unit labor costs, which measure the average cost of labor per unit of output. In a monetary union, discrepancies in wage growth relative to productivity gains that is, unit labor costs will result in a chronic accumulation of trade surpluses or deficits.

A rapid reduction in unit labor costs, via acceleration of structural reform and productivity growth relative to wage growth, is also unlikely, as that process took 15 years to restore competitiveness to Germany.

These countries had already lost export market shares to China and other low value added and labor intensive Asian economies. Then a decade of nominal wage growth that out paced productivity gains led to a rise in unit labor costs, real exchange rate appreciation, and large current account deficits.

Non recurrent costs

Persistently weak labor productivity growth has created a situation in which unit labor costs do not fall, even if real wages remain stagnant or decline. Indeed, despite a 1.3 drop in real wages in 2011, unit labor costs remained unchanged.

According to the 12th Five Year Plan, the minimum wage should grow by 13 per year. Together with real appreciation, the increase in labor costs is bound to weaken the competitiveness of China s labor intensive export sector, which will be reflected in the trade balance more clearly in the coming years.

(a) The Guaranteed Minimum Inter professional Wage (SMIG) for the non agricultural sectors

Unsurprisingly, high payroll taxes strained the capacity of working people and mounting non wage labor costs eroded companies' international competitiveness. For a while, borrowing hid the extent of the problem but today the extent of the burden that the accumulated debt that resulted from this borrowing is placing on future generations a grave injustice in its own right is clear.

The national minimum wage is determined at the negotiating table by the Labor Consultative Commission, where Government, Employers and Trade Unions are represented.

Only after the Iron Curtain s fall and the establishment of market economies in ex communist countries did the lack of competitiveness of German workers become apparent. The country with the highest labor costs in the world was confronted with low wage competitors next door.

The result is that free markets don t generate enough final demand. In the US, for example, slashing labor costs has sharply reduced the share of labor income in GDP.

The other requirements related to non staff costs.

Non recurrent costs amount to 1,706,600, while recurrent costs amount to 41,302,400 gross ( 39,563,100 net).

Non recurrent costs amount to 10,735,300, while recurrent costs amount to 125,984,200 gross ( 121,970,700 net).

As labor costs continue to climb, is China set to lose its coveted spot as the world s workshop?

As migrants move between markets with well defined property rights, immigration in principle is beneficial for both the immigrants and the target country. The immigrant receives a higher wage than at home, and the target country benefits from cheap labor, which creates more value than it costs.

Non investment costs had been higher in the past, although they had not included agency support costs, and he noted that most of those non investment costs had already been approved.

The projects were critical in covering the non wage funding gap for key social ministries.
