NYTimes.com: China's Labor Tests Its Muscle
by ciudadviejo＠yahoo.com 28 Nov '11

This page was sent to you by: ciudadviejo(a)yahoo.com. TIMES TOPICS China's Labor Tests Its Muscle Updated: Aug. 16, 2010 Overview Assertive, self-possessed workers have become a challenge for the industrial titans of China that once filled their mammoth workshops with an endless stream of pliant labor from the nation's rural belly. As China's export-driven juggernaut has been revived and many migrants have found jobs closer to home, employers have been forced to compete for new workers — and prevent seasoned ones from defecting to sweeter prospects. A labor shortage has emboldened workers and inspired a spate of strikes in and around Zhongshan in the southeast that paralyzed Honda's Chinese operations in June 2010. The unrest spread to the northern city of Tianjin, where strikers briefly paralyzed production at a Toyota car plant and a Japanese-owned electronics factory. Many factories in Zhongshan have been operating with vacancies of 15 to 20 percent. Although the walkouts were quelled with higher salaries, sometimes doubled, factory owners and labor experts said that the strikes have driven home a looming reality that had been predicted by demographers: the supply of workers 16 to 24 years old has peaked and will drop by a third in the next 12 years, thanks to stringent family-planning policies that have sharply reduced China's population growth. The other new reality, perhaps harder to quantify, is that young Chinese factory workers, raised in a country with rapidly rising expectations, are less willing to toil for long hours for appallingly low wages like dutiful automatons. At the same time, China has rapidly expanded university enrollments, resulting in an already dwindling number of less-educated workers willing to accept the rigors and monotony of assembly lines. As the costs of doing business have risen in China, it is slowly losing work to countries like Bangladesh, Vietnam and Cambodia — at least for cheaper, labor-intensive goods like casual clothes, toys and simple electronics. And the labor unrest is not limited to factory workers. During the past two years, laid-off bank workers have staged public protests and held sit-ins. http://topics.nytimes.com/top/news/international/countriesandterritories/ch… ---------------------------------------------------------- ABOUT THIS E-MAIL This e-mail was sent to you by a friend through NYTimes.com's E-mail This Article service.
