Excessive labor resources at a turning point, expert

www.chinanews.cn 2007-03-21 09:01:40

Chinanews, Beijing, Mar. 21 �C China’s abundant labor resources, of which
it has taken advantage for many years, might begin to change now. Some
experts say that the labor shortage problem is posing a challenge to the
Chinese economy.
The problem was raised by Cai Fang, director of the Institute of
Population and Labor Economics at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences,
when he attended the China Development Forum last Saturday.
He said that the labor shortage problem, which first appeared in China’s
coastal regions, has now spread inland. The problem has even arisen in
some underdeveloped regions.
The proportion of the working population in China was stable in 2006 and
will remain so until 2010 when it will start to decline, the expert
predicted.
At present, the working population in China’s rural areas is both
��abundant�� and ��insufficient��. On the one hand, the total number of
rural people of working age is still sufficient in general, while on the
other, the surplus of labor is being absorbed by society, said Han Junyi,
director of the Rural Economics Research Institute under the State
Council Development and Research Center.
In an investigation conducted in 2,700 villages across China, the State
Council Development and Research Center finds that over half of the rural
labor force have shifted to work in non-agricultural sectors and in urban
areas. About a quarter of the labor force in rural areas work away from
their home villages perennially.
In 75% of the villages covered by the investigation, all the young people
below the age of 30 are out for work insofar as it is possible, a
phenomenon rarely seen before the reform and opening-up when most farmers
at that time were destined to stay in their home villages and work on the
land throughout their life.
Although some experts now warn that China’s surplus labor resources might
come to an end, demographers are not worried by the issue. The shortage
of labor supply might push up the labor costs, but it wouldn’t affect the
national economy very seriously, they said.
