Spinning Clothing Industry Order Shortage And Labor Shortage

"Order shortage" encountered

Labor shortage

"The seemingly contradictory economic phenomenon appeared at the same time, sending a strong warning signal to the market.

Many enterprises and market participants believe that behind the abnormal superposition of "double famine" is the grim reality of China's manufacturing industry, especially the traditional labor intensive industries upgrading and pformation, which is facing the slowdown of global economic recovery.

China's export situation is not optimistic recently.

Some industries, especially textile, clothing, toys, shoes and hats and other labor intensive industries, are still facing difficulties in reducing orders, increasing orders, and increasing the proportion of short and small bills. At the same time, the manufacturing industry in eastern coastal areas of China, which is represented by the Pearl River Delta region, is facing difficulties in recruitment and labor shortage.

"Order rhythm disorder" exacerbated "labor shortage"

In recent years, due to the situation at home and abroad,

Recruitment

Difficult and "labor shortage" is not a rare phenomenon.

But what surprised some enterprises is that although the number of overseas orders accepted by enterprises has not increased or even declined this year, the difficulty of recruiting enterprises has not improved. This is a contrast with previous orders, such as the shortage of labor force and less orders.

"After 18 years of business, now is the most confused time."

Guo Xianhua, executive deputy general manager of Dongyuan kitchen utensils company in Shunde, Guangdong, started from a husband and wife store.

As a small and medium-sized labor-intensive enterprise with no more than 500 workers, he now faces the plight of lack of people in the busy season. The reason is that he has a direct relationship with the "complete rhythm of the order".

"In the past, when the European and American economy was normal, the market situation was predictable on both sides of manufacture and sale. Therefore, the employment was clear and the business could adapt and adjust. The shortage of labor is only a temporary phenomenon. But this year, the international orders are becoming shorter and more urgent, and German enterprises have placed orders for us for 100 products.

Under such circumstances, enterprises simply can not support people, and they dare not raise people. As a result, the lack of work has become a norm.

Guo Xianhua said.

According to the analysis of enterprises, because the main export market status has not changed, the recent crisis intensification in Europe and the United States is likely to lead to a surge of labor and employment in China, and even a short wave of labor shortage in the winter and spring.

Cao Xiaojian, deputy general manager of Jiangsu sainty Limited by Share Ltd, said that this year, Europe and the United States restricted themselves.

Economics

The recovery is slow, buyers' purchasing intentions have been very weak, and orders are insufficient.

At the same time, forcing a considerable number of export enterprises in China to maintain a low level of employment, it also greatly reduces the adjustment and adaptability of the manufacturing chain.

"With the depletion of inventory, the consumption of consumer goods in the US and Europe is likely to have a gap period in the spring of 2012. It will not be excluded that local buyers will suddenly add a large number of urgent and short lists to Chinese enterprises, and the Spring Festival will come early in 2012.

recruit and use

There is a great possibility of further aggravation of the emergency shortage. "

Transfer or pformation to test labor-intensive enterprises

Faced with the superposition of "order shortage" and "labor shortage", some experts and market participants believe that, influenced by many domestic factors, it is difficult for traditional labor-intensive enterprises to respond simply by raising wages and increasing welfare.

Long term tracking

enterprise

Wu Yingxi, deputy director of the business liaison office of the Shandong Provincial Department of Commerce, said that the cause of "labor shortage" is complex, and that the great change of employment orientation of the new generation of migrant workers is one of the important factors.

From the perspective of Shandong's large labor force Province, young "post-90s" migrant workers appear to be more likely to be redundant in the cities, unwilling to work in the countryside, preferring to get low wages in the service industry, unwilling to earn overtime pay in the manufacturing industry, preferring to struggle in cities and unwilling to enjoy in the countryside.

He said.

The "shortage of orders" also makes China's large number of traditional processing export enterprises' ability to "raise prices" seriously limited.

In the 110th Canton Fair held from October to November last year, many enterprises reflected that due to the weak international demand, European and American merchants generally did not want to raise prices substantially, and the cost of raw materials increased. The space for enterprises to raise labor prices was more and more restricted.

He said.

At present, the tradition of the Pearl River Delta and the Yangtze River Delta region

labor intensive

Employment of enterprises has begun to appear "aging" demand.

Many enterprises have changed their employment habits to the "literacy workers" aged 35 to 50 years old, and men and women are not restricted.

Wang Hongli, Vice Minister of production and Protection Department of Shenzhen Federation of trade unions, believes that with the approaching of the aging society, the total amount of labor supply in China will gradually decrease in the future. Expanding the age of employment is not a fundamental solution to the problem.

Must follow the follow-up effect of labor intensive industry pformation

However, the same is different.

industry

The choice may be quite different.

Some market participants believe that China's low-end production capacity in some labor-intensive industries dominated by consumer goods such as shoes, clothing, bags and so on will be pferred overseas; while electronic consumer enterprises may shift to the central and western parts of the country; compared with the large and medium-sized private enterprises, the pfer of foreign enterprises will be more powerful, and the desire for pformation of the former will be more intense.

Cao Xiaojian said that from the trend of international industrial pfer, due to the high cost of pportation and pportation, traditional labor such as textiles, clothing, shoes and so on

Concentrated

Generally speaking, the type of industry is set up in coastal areas. "From the current situation, the trend of accelerating the pfer of these industries from China to the coastal areas of neighboring countries and regions is more obvious.

In the future, the competitiveness of Chinese local enterprises in these industries will be mainly reflected in the high-end products. "

In addition, because of these

industry

A considerable part of the capacity is completed by multinational enterprises. These factories are obviously constrained by international capital demand and are more sensitive to the increase of labor costs. Therefore, the speed of pferring to Vietnam and India is also accelerating. Nike's production capacity in Vietnam is more than that of China.

At the same time, some private enterprises have chosen the path of upgrading and pformation.

Take the Guangdong Nanhai Chao Xin group as an example, this enterprise resolutely closed its 4 houses.

A shoe factory

In the new energy industry, the relevant person in charge of the enterprise said that only by "reluctantly giving up" can enterprises find their way out in the dual attack of "order shortage" and "labor shortage".

Looking forward to the future, industrial upgrading,

enterprise

Whether the pformation and pfer can really solve the employment and employment situation behind the "labor shortage" and change the "shock wave" is the concern of many people.

Some experts say that the focus of guiding the industrial pformation and upgrading is placed on the enterprises. There is not much consideration for the employment needs and ideas of the workers. "It is very likely that the workers may not be willing to follow the enterprise after the pfer of the enterprises, and the enterprises have upgraded the unsynchronized situation that the workers may not" upgrade ".

In addition, the fluctuation of employment may increase further in the future. If not taken into consideration in policy, it is likely to cause laborers' 'surplus' to aggravate in coastal areas, resulting in social pressure.

Such pressure and pressure on the clothing and textile industry, jumping over pressure and heading for victory, is what you want.
