Labor Abuse in China

The Chinese Labor Party said, "In the factory, I snore the clouds of machinery and sawdust, send wood to a chain saw crying out by a man without earplugs or goggles, making a cabinet for stereo speakers" (Goodman and Pan 1) Mr. Peter Goodman and Philip Pan's article, "Chinese workers pay Wal-Mart at a low price", the abuse of Chinese migrant workers is clear. Such behavior is taking place throughout China. Due to the stringent demands of the Chinese economy and the demand for goods from other countries, China's abuse of labor force has reached a terrible level, causing illegal circumstances; however, the Chinese-centered company is working hard.

In addition to the price, the real fear of market competition is the impact on white-collar workers. The outsourcing of blue collar work in various production industries by outsourcing foreign currency exchange to countries such as China and the use of written abuse of trade agreements by abused companies integrated our white collar work. For example, several years ago, I worked in a medical equipment company which is a merger of at least five former medical device companies. Each company has its own engineering, accounting, customer service, and marketing department. These combined new companies have each of the above, but there is no marketing department (Who needs marketing when you are the only choice?) We have a better product with lack of personnel There is no economic pressure to make, so there is no technical innovation.

Twenty years ago, ordinary people believed China's main economic competitive advantage lies in its huge and cheap labor. Together with rising labor costs and excellent infrastructure in traditional manufacturing industry, China is an attractive choice for companies that require unskilled, semi-skilled labor at home and abroad. As in China, the labor market in China is rapidly changing. Over the past 10 years, wages in China have risen sharply year on year. For these reasons and for other reasons, few companies think that China is preferred as a destination for offshoring. But this does not tell us what happened and why China's labor market has happened.

Child labor problem in China * We released the first systematic study on child labor in China. Child labor in China is not a trivial social phenomenon; in 2010, about 7.74% of children between the ages of 10 and 15 are working, working an average of 6.75 hours a day, the time spent on everyday learning is It is 6.42 hours shorter than other children. About 90% of child labor is still in school, combining economic activities and school education. Our findings show that child labor participation is positively correlated with dropout rate. Children living in rural areas are more likely to work. Child gender is not as important as residence. It seems that interaction with household head's level of education and household head's sex is not important. However, per capita household assets and family participation in non-agricultural activities has a negative correlation with the incidence of child labor. Children with more adults are less likely to work
