How much do the Chinese earn? Below heaven. Comparison of average salaries in China and Russia

Recently, many have begun to say that the level of wages in China is rising and it is no longer so profitable to produce in China. Many predict an exodus of industry to Southeast Asian countries.

I decided to leave aside the issue of relocating production for now and simply check the average salary by region on the Chinese Internet.

You can compare Chinese realities with Russian ones yourself.

So, first, let’s discuss that taking a salary for one city is not entirely correct. China is unevenly developed. There are industrial regions of the south and southeast, traditionally the most profitable regions, where there are traditionally a lot of industries and there is always a need for workers, but at the same time, it is here that the process of rising labor costs is gaining momentum. There is the North of China where heavy industry, including coal, is concentrated; I classify it as an average level of earnings. And finally, the central and western regions, where labor is as cheap as possible relative to the rest of China, and where many southern industries go.

What is the real average salary?

Let's put it this way - low-level unskilled physical labor is equal to half the average salary. This is a personal observation. If, for example, in Beijing the average salary is 5,000 yuan, then a simple worker receives 2,500-3,000 yuan, plus he is often provided with a bed in a dormitory and three meals a day in the canteen. The same rule applies to all other regions.

Low-level office plankton also works for 2000-3000 thousand. The average level is 5000-8000, the highest level is 10,000 and above.

A skilled worker receives from 8,000 yuan and above, up to approximately 15,000. Depending on the region. So the average salary is quite realistic.

How to compare Chinese salaries with Russian ones?

Yuan exchange rate. So that you understand what the numbers in yuan mean. One yuan is ten rubles. This is today's course. Just six months ago, before the ruble depreciated, one yuan cost five rubles. Accordingly, we mentally multiply all salary amounts by 10 to get the salary in rubles at the current rate and by 5 to get the salary at the old rate.

So the latest data for 2014
1 column 2 column 3 column 4 column 5 column
City\Province Average salary Percentage with salary 2k-3k Percentage with salary 4.5k-6k growth by 2013

The first two lines are Beijing and then Shanghai

What is this, it turns out that the average salary in a large city is 5,000 yuan, that is, 50,000 rubles? And they pay more than us? Of course, it's not that simple.
Now let's talk about what you can buy with this money.
As I noted above, very, very many Chinese companies operate according to the scheme of providing housing and food. It’s cheaper for them to rent a dormitory (or even build it) than to pay workers extra. Money so that they can look for housing themselves. And it’s more convenient to go to work.
However, particularly cunning businessmen manage to sell generally accepted food and bed space to their own workers.
Many companies lure even the middle class in this way. Here we are talking about a corporate apartment and a car.

If housing is not provided, then you need to look at the cost of housing by region.

Renting a one-room apartment in megacities like Beijing-Shanghai-Guangzhou costs 3,000 yuan per month. It is neither in the center nor on the outskirts. Something in between. Many migrant workers rent one apartment in a crowd and sleep on bunks. Then it comes out to several hundred yuan per nose. Another option is to live in the basement. In China, many houses have three-story basements. Without sunlight, in dampness and with rats, millions of Chinese live like rats. But such housing costs a couple of hundred yuan per month.

Housing is cheaper in the provinces. Now you have to look at what kind of city it is. I think I won’t be wrong if I say that an apartment costs 1000-2000 yuan per month.

Utilities - one apartment is able to burn out lights and pour out water for 100-300 yuan per month, depending on the location. You can safely budget 500 yuan for all utility expenses, including the Internet. This is enough in any metropolis, regardless of the price level.

Food - again, you have to look where. If you cook at home, two people will eat 100 yuan worth of food in 1-2 days. This is if we are talking about good nutrition, without self-restraint. That is, vegetables, fruits, meat, sweets, anything within reasonable limits.

If you eat outside (in China there are a lot of small restaurants and eateries with cheap food), then in a metropolis one person eats 30-50 yuan in one sitting. In principle, this is not very much, so many people do not cook at all and eat only outside. But this is unhealthy because restaurant owners skimp on quality.

Transport - public transport - metro 3-5 yuan at a time, depending on the distance. Bus - 1-2 yuan. Taxi 20-30 and up to 50 yuan (long distances about 100, this is a guaranteed outskirts of any city).

Gasoline - depending on the brand from 6.5 to 8 yuan a liter

As we can see, it is difficult to call Chinese life heavenly. Multiply all this by weak social security.

State pensions are only for state employees. For everyone else, pension insurance is at your own expense (you need to look for companies with conditions such as the insurance provided).

Medicine is paid.

Education is paid. Moreover, there is a huge competition in universities and it is difficult to get in even for money. It is very easy to get into a Chinese university with a foreign passport; you pay money and study in a foreign department. Ordinary Chinese can only dream about this.

Even despite all the liberal reforms, the heavily damaged Soviet social guarantees remain an unattainable peak for socialist China.

But at the same time, talking about the Chinese as beggars is no longer relevant. The standard of living is quite tolerable. If you compare it with what happened 25 years ago, it’s absolutely incredible for Chinese history. And this is the undoubted merit of the CCP, no matter how much you criticize it.

At the moment, wages and living standards are expected to continue to rise, while GDP growth rates will decline. China's smooth transition to the top league of Asian countries at the level of South Korea, Japan, Hong Kong and Singapore. If no force majeure occurs, then this is quite possible by 2025.

In China, this is a question that interests many people. The state historically retains the title of a global exporter of the world economy. The industries available throughout the country require the use of highly qualified professionals and a large number of workers.

The direction of activity is based on stimulating wages and increasing their indicators. In 2017, the average salary stopped at $1,050 in big cities, $450 in the provinces.

This year is unique - the earnings of a resident of a European country are equal to the income of a Chinese worker, which is causing an increase in migrants to the republic. And to find out more about what’s what, the IQReview team will tell you.

Jobs in China

One of the important tasks of the state is to provide the country's residents with work. Foreigners coming to China use government social programs to help them find employment. Before traveling and contacting a travel agency, a detailed study of Chinese legislation is carried out to avoid pitfalls. The income of the country's population is acceptable; it is important to realize one's own ability to earn money.

The vacancies offered to foreigners are related to IT technologies, entertainment, and translation activities. Lack of specialized education is the basis for searching for physical work.

Translators in China earn pretty decent money

Knowledge of several languages ​​helps you find a job and receive significant amounts of money. Translator, teacher - common destinations for foreign citizens who come to “get rich”. Certified specialists are valued by the state, there is a demand for engineers and production automation specialists - the state's economy is constantly growing, focusing on the export of manufactured goods. A diploma confirming completed higher education, assuming an international standard, is a guarantor of easy obtaining of a well-paid position.

Minimum wage level in the country

What is the minimum wage in the country? There is a noticeable difference in wages in the provinces and large cities - Shanghai, Beijing. The differences in payments are colossal. Position and occupation significantly influence the receipt of the final amount of funds. Place of work, state of the enterprise, terms of cooperation - not the last point that plays a role.

The minimum wage depends on the position and occupation

The minimum payments in the PRC (2018) stopped at $325, the cost of living in the PRC was $375. The growth of the minimum wage since the beginning of last year has increased by 12%. Representatives of foreign countries visit China, wanting to get acquainted with history and culture, and exclude earnings from the list of priorities. There are tourists who agree to work for the minimum wage, actually working for food and shelter.

Average salary in China

The current year is notable for its growth; the average salary in China in 2018 is growing compared to previous periods, ahead of some Asian countries. Profitable areas are finance, programming, sports, medicine, science.

Certified specialists earn good money

Migrants involved in agriculture, manufacturing, and the restaurant business receive minimal remittances. A specialist with a diploma receives up to $2,500; employees in the hotel and restaurant business receive a maximum of $550. It is relevant to consider payments in the People's Republic of China as the average payment for the industry. Place of work, position, education are taken into account.

Taxes levied on wages play an important role. Deductions are made from money earned by citizens of the country and tourists. There are special types of taxation:

1. Tax on additional earnings. Directly applies to foreigners who have been living in the country for more than 5 years and who receive additional income from abroad.
2. Income tax. Covered by hired employees of the company, up to 15% of the total salary.
3. Business tax - maximum 10% of the amount of profit, the percentage depends on the type of activity of the enterprise. Companies with foreign investments are eligible for payments.

Other types of taxes - VAT, which is included in the cost of goods sold. Payment is due at the time of purchase of any product. Consumption tax is relevant - payments are made when purchasing goods that require a license. A common practice is a tax on children, given the overpopulation of the republic. Families who want more than two children pay additional funds to the state.

Overtime pay in China

The PRC's overtime pay has two divisions - additional time spent at work after discussing the issue with the employer and time spent at work on the employee's day off. The increase in payment is based on the indicator - for the first 2 hours the rate is multiplied by 1.5 times, the rest of the time the rate is multiplied by 2.

Calling an employee on a day off guarantees him payment at double the rate

Calling an employee on a day off guarantees him payment at double the rate. Enterprises often make amendments and adjustments regarding overtime work. The employment contract takes into account the amendment - it is worth discussing the problem with the employer in advance when hiring the company.

Remuneration of foreigners

Special education is not required for employment; foreigners receive wages similar to residents of the PRC, sometimes higher. The role is played by the position, specialty, place of work, city of residence, and employment of the specialist. The table below shows the payments in different parts of the country. Employment in big cities is more profitable.

If you want to increase your wages, you should visit Shanghai, Beijing, and Tibet. The chosen profession and position play a lot.

Monthly salary in China by province and city (USD)
Shanghai	712
Beijing	705
Tibet	663
Tianjin	536
Zhejiang	446
Guangzhou	445
Jiangsu	430
Yinchuan	402
Qinghai	396
Liaoning, Chongqing	372

Highly paid professions in China for 2017 - biotechnologist, customs specialist, financier, translator.

People working with information and communication technologies have decent payments. Certified specialists expect to receive salaries much more than people without special education. Overpopulation of the state plays a big role in the payment of funds - there is no opportunity to get the desired position or get a good education. Residents agree to any available spaces. The People's Republic of China is the leader of the low-skilled labor force; the result of the problem is the difficulty of employing foreigners.

In China, it is very difficult for a foreigner to get a job without a diploma.

A simple way out of this situation is modernization, improvement, and work with the education system. Potentially, the country is preparing strong specialists. Many people study foreign languages; English is relevant. A Chinese teacher receives amounts similar to payments to employees in other specialties. The average is at least $1,000. Such areas of work are relevant for foreigners who have an international diploma.

China's salary level is higher than in other developed countries. Previously, this figure was the same in the Republic and Russia; now residents of the PRC receive an average of $1 more per hour of work.

Salaries in Beijing

Shanghai and Beijing are leaders in payments, offering the most favorable terms for payments to citizens and visitors. The beauty and fashion industry is highly developed. Girls who have a European appearance get jobs as models.

Fashion capital for foreign girls

Daily earnings are approximately $300. Renting and buying real estate in a big city is more expensive than suburban prices. The annual income of an industry specialist is at least $9,000.

Wages in Shanghai

As the cultural center of China, Shanghai stands out from other cities. Films shot here are known throughout the world. China's main activity is the production of goods. Cinema is developing, screens are massively filled with new films. Foreigners get jobs in Shanghai; European appearance is valued here. The daily wage for a beginning actor is approximately $300.

In Shanghai, a foreigner can earn money by acting in films

Guangzhou offers high wages to specialists in the fields of science, finance, and education. The reason is a large number of enterprises, banks, financial centers. Foreign language teachers are in demand. There are a lot of courses open in the city. Payment to tutors who know English is $30/hour. Process engineer, transport routes, resident of Guangzhou, receives a minimum of $1000 per month.

Video on the topic: How much do models earn in China?

I decided to get ahead of events and look into the wallets of the Chinese now, in 2016.

In the person of his representative Alina Melkonyan the portal asked those who live and work in China about their level of earnings.

Let me note right away: for the Chinese the question “How much do you earn?” is normal; they do not hide this information. But be prepared that you may be asked the same thing.

The respondents were people from 25 to 40 years old, working in their positions for more than 5 years. Deviations from the given figures are possible depending on the position held. The form of payment for work in China is hourly.

Daren is working ordinary policeman. Having learned that I was collecting data for a Russian portal, he, without hesitation, agreed to answer my questions.

Daren, how much does a Chinese policeman earn?

I have been working in the police for 5 years, occupying the same position. On average, I earn 4500 yuan (~45 thousand rubles) per month, while working from 5 am to 6 pm and from 9 pm to 3 am. I like my job, but sometimes it is very difficult to adapt to the normal rhythm of life. I can also take a certain number of days off per month, on any day that is convenient for me, but this issue needs to be discussed in advance, there are no problems.

Marie and Leila are singers.They perform at the bar every evening from 9 to 2-3 am. You can’t envy their rhythm of life either.

How much do you get paid for your work?

We earn 300-350 yuan for 5-6 hours of work. A month turns out to be approximately 8000 - 9000 yuan (80-90 thousand rubles). It is also possible to take a day off, but on less busy days.

Tobby teaches Chinese language for foreign students.

How much do you earn per month?

My salary is 4500 yuan (~45 thousand rubles). I really love my job and my students. When your work brings you pleasure, you are truly happy.

Wang Xi - owner of a chain of bakeries. I asked how much he earns himself and how much his team receives.

Tell me, how much do you earn from your own business, and how difficult is it for you to manage an entire network?

Of course, I don’t manage the entire network alone, I have a whole team of workers. We initially planned to create one, but very high-quality and solid bakery, where people would want to go, so in addition to the quality of the products used, we paid special attention to the interior and furnishings of the premises, which helped us go in the right direction. Managing a network is not easy, but I really enjoy what I do. You manage to earn an average of 9,000 - 10,000 yuan per month (this is about 90 - 100,000 thousand rubles). It all depends on the number of sales and prices for the purchase of raw materials. My workers, and these are professional bakers, receive 3000 - 4500 yuan (30 - 45 thousand rubles). I think this is a decent salary.

Anna came from Russia and works in China model.

Anna, why did you choose China and how much do you earn?

In China, especially in smaller cities, finding modeling work is not very difficult. European appearance is always in great demand and popularity among the Chinese. After all, Chinese women consider Russian girls incredibly beautiful thanks to their large, widely spaced eyes, special nose shape and blond hair.

I don't work every day. I mainly participate in fashion shows, exhibitions and photo shoots. So, for one show you can earn the monthly salary of an average worker, which is 3000-4000 yuan (30-40 thousand rubles). The work is troublesome and hectic, but the Chinese try to create all the conditions to make friends with you and continue to work together.

The average salary in Russia in 2015 is about 33 thousand rubles and has decreased significantly in real terms compared to last year. But a much more interesting statistical observation is that for the first time in history, the incomes of Russians were less than the incomes of residents of China, a country that is a textbook example of a “labor reservoir.”

The collapse of the ruble against the dollar in the last year has led to a sharp depreciation of Russian salaries in foreign currency terms. At the beginning of 2014, the average working Russian received about $900. In mid-2015, his salary was approximately 33 thousand rubles (accurate statistics will be published at the end of the year), which is about $500 based on the average exchange rate of 65 rubles per dollar.

The ruble may strengthen, and Russians' wages in dollars will rise again. But even in this case, they are unlikely to catch up with the indicators of China, a country where, according to the stereotype existing in Russia, citizens work “for a cup of rice.” In 2014, the average Chinese received 8,800 yuan per month, which at the current exchange rate (the dollar has risen against the yuan too, but not so much) is $733. Thus, we are already one and a half times behind China in terms of this criterion.

One could, of course, argue that comparisons in foreign currencies do not reflect the real state of welfare, since prices vary from country to country. Nevertheless, before the crisis, the difference in the value of currencies at purchasing power parity was about 25 percent in favor of China (that is, on average, prices there were a quarter lower). Now the ruble has sharply devalued (by about half), and prices in Russia have increased by only 20 percent. But even with this adjustment, the value of the currency at PPP became only slightly higher in China than in Russia, and does not compensate for the one and a half times difference in earnings.

Indeed, ten years ago, a salary of $300 was considered normal, if not good, for China. Times, however, are changing. The real incomes of the Chinese population have grown by about 150 percent over the decade; last year, for example, the growth was 12 percent. Economists often note this circumstance as a reason that should significantly slow down the development of China, because the success of the second economy in the world was largely ensured by cheap labor. The real picture is much more complicated, but this is a separate topic for discussion.

In fact, the increase in Chinese wages was fully consistent with both the rate of economic growth and the increase in labor productivity. GDP in 2005-2014 grew by an average of 8-9 percent per year. At the same time, over ten years, productivity in China increased by almost 18 percent annually (which, by the way, is extremely uncharacteristic for low-income countries, to which China until recently belonged).

For comparison: in 2003-2008, Russia demonstrated annual growth in labor productivity of 7-7.5 percent. After the crisis, growth slowed significantly and finally fell to 1.8 percent by 2013. As a result, the rate of wage growth also slowed down, and in the last year and a half it has sank significantly more than the economy as a whole. Employers found that it was best to cut costs by saving on employee labor.

Of course, a slightly smaller stratification of the population by income can testify in favor of Russia. The Gini coefficient, which shows the difference between the incomes of the richest and poorest citizens, is 47 in China, and 42 in Russia. However, these figures take into account all incomes, not just wages. Moreover, this difference is in any case not large enough to compensate for such a significant gap that has now formed in wages in dollar terms.

The lag in labor productivity growth rates is easy to explain. First and second, productivity is technology and engineering. But Russian business is investing very slowly and unhurriedly in the modernization of production and the service sector - just look at the statistics of the industrial robots market recently. China's share in global purchases is almost a third (with an economic volume of about 15 percent of the world), while Russia purchases about a percent of the world robot market, which is significantly lower than the country's share in global GDP (about 1.5-2.5 percent, depending on depending on the calculation method).

Why is this happening? Firstly, modernization is expensive, and there will be problems with investments now due to sanctions. The share of investment in Russia's GDP is slightly more than 20 percent - versus 45 percent for China. And these expenses, judging by the increase in purchases of high-tech equipment, will inevitably have an effect. Secondly, there are no normal mechanisms for financing modernization in the form of targeted relief of the tax burden in Russia. Thirdly, the country has a large number of cheap labor from neighboring countries, on which you can save a lot. As they say, two soldiers from a construction battalion replace an excavator. Finally, modernization will inevitably entail the destruction of jobs (new ones may appear later, but this is already in the future), and an increase in unemployment is guaranteed to mean the loss of the stability that has been cherished for so long. The state does not need this at all, so it is afraid to encourage business in this direction.

Be that as it may, low wages are not only a problem, but also an opportunity. For Russia, in this case, this means the possibility of transferring production facilities that previously operated abroad. In this way, economic growth can be given a boost. Of course, this means that the country will develop along the path adopted in the “third world” countries, but now there is no need to talk about anything else.

Although even such extensive development again requires money. But loans and investments from abroad are not very willing, including due to political tension, and domestic Russian rates are punitive for any domestic non-financial business. To get out of this situation, the state needs to carry out reforms to support economic growth, which has been discussed for several years. Unfortunately, little is being done.

China is a country that is rapidly developing economically. Large salaries are provided only in large cities. This is where specialists from other countries go with plans to make good money in high positions.

In 2017, the country took 2nd place in the ranking of world economic development by GDP level. The average monthly salary in China is 5,995 yuan (59,000 rubles), which is decent earnings for migrants from the former CIS countries. But to get a higher income, you need to get a job in a reputable company.

The unemployment rate in China is currently 5%, which is a good indicator compared to previous years.

Salary per month by profession in 2019

Minimum

Minimum wages in most professions are higher than in Russia or Ukraine. Citizens in low positions receive from 3,000 yuan (30,000 rubles). With this money they can basically pay rent, buy food for themselves and pay for their children's education. It must be taken into account that in the provinces people have less income.

Average

Average salaries among specialists allow the Chinese to travel, buy the things they need and have a good time. The monthly income is about 10,000 Chinese units (RUB 100,000).

Average starting salary (for foreigners)

For foreign specialists, average salaries are higher. Income comes out to 12,000 (120,000 rubles). With this money, migrants can freely rent housing, buy healthy food, have fun, and pay for medical services.

Starting salaries for graduates of local universities start at 3,500 yuan per month.

Maximum

To achieve maximum salaries in China, you need to have many useful skills and knowledge. An income of 25,000–30,000 yuan (RUR 253,000–292,000) allows most citizens to invest money, open a business, travel to other countries and use the services they need.

Salary by city and region

The situation with wages in China is similar to Russia. If in Moscow a person earns an average of 70,000 rubles a month, then a resident of a provincial town receives 3 times less. It's the same in China. For example, in Hong Kong, an ordinary Chinese person has an income of 12,000 yuan. In Karashar, earnings usually do not exceed 4,000 in 30 days.

Salary taxes

Every citizen pays wage taxes in the country depending on their earnings. Despite the fact that there are many different taxes in China, their rates are low, and this allows the local population to live in pleasure.

Income tax

In China, only individuals pay income tax. It is deducted from your salary every month. A citizen who earns 4,000 yuan monthly is exempt from paying income tax. If the salary is higher, then the tax rate will be 5%. The maximum value is 45%.

Social contributions and other taxes. What is not taxed

Chinese citizens are required to pay the following taxes:

• on income – from 5 to 45%;
• for added value – from 3 to 17%;
• for real estate – 1.2%;
• for the purchase of vehicles – 10%;
• for the transfer of ownership rights – from 3 to 5%;
• for education – 3%;
• for construction – 7%.

Social contributions:

• for pension insurance – 8%;
• for health insurance – 2%;
• for unemployment insurance – 0.2%;
• for housing in the Savings Fund - 12%.

The following are not subject to tax:

• residential premises that are not used for business activities;
• Individuals' income is less than 4,000 yuan.

Salary to living expenses ratio

Prices for products in Chinese stores and markets differ. On average they are like this, in yuan:

• fresh meat 1 kg – 12 (60 rub.);
• fish 1 kg – 9.5 (45 rub.);
• rice 1 kg – 2.5 (25 rubles);
• potatoes 1 kg – 3.2 (30 rub.);
• glass of beer – 1.9 (19 rubles).

The most convenient way to travel around Chinese cities is by bus; the average fare is 2 yuan (20 rubles). In the metro the price is similar. The minimum taxi fare (3 kilometers) will cost 10 yuan (100 rubles), for each subsequent kilometer you need to pay an additional 1.9 yuan (19 rubles).

As for renting an apartment, the price information is best displayed in the table below:

There are a lot of hospitals and pharmacies in China that employ good specialists. Chinese medicine purchases medicines both abroad and produces its own. Local drugs are cheaper than foreign ones. For example, the cost of cough remedies is 15-30 yuan (up to 350 rubles), analogues of antipyretic drugs are 6-10 yuan (100 rubles).

In China, local residents distribute the budget from the total salary in this way:

• rental housing – 45%;
• education – 15%;
• medical care – 10%;
• food products – 10%;
• entertainment – ​​5%;
• purchase of household goods – 7%;
• spending on transport and clothing – 5% each;
• other – 2%.

Unemployment rate and migrants' prospects

In China, unemployment is 5%. It is present mainly among young people. The fact is that many young people in the country do not have the necessary education and important useful skills. Since there is no work experience, this greatly affects the results of hiring future employees.

To help its citizens, the Chinese government has come up with a special Insurance Fund. If a person registers at the labor exchange (this can be done from the age of 16), then he will be paid unemployment benefits. The amount of payments depends on the city in which a particular person lives.

Becoming a citizen of China is difficult - for this you need to make an impressive contribution to the development of the economic or cultural component of the country. But such actions often make no sense, since it is more difficult for a Chinese citizen to leave the state than for a foreigner to enter China.

Despite such restrictions, China has created good conditions for attracting foreigners.

The government regularly develops special programs for:

• students;
• scientific workers;
• entrepreneurs;
• skilled workers.

In the last 5 years there has been a fresh surge of Russian and Ukrainian emigration to China. Renting housing here is much cheaper than in European countries. People are also attracted to inexpensive food and clothing.

Due to the actively developing economy, the Chinese government requires experienced specialists among engineers, programmers, English teachers, etc. Migrants in such professions are paid even more than local residents.

Average salaries in China attract immigrants from Belarus, Ukraine, Russia and other countries. At the same time, for specialists who want to occupy high positions, in addition to English, basic knowledge of the Chinese language will not hurt.
