Domestic service companies in China have increased mechanization rates to reduce labor costs
According to the “Nihon Keizai Shimbun” report, a survey of more than 1,400 Japanese companies investing in China by the Japan External Trade Organization (JETRO) showed that as of the autumn of 2010, the average wage of domestic workers in China had increased by 12.1% year-on-year, significantly exceeding that in Japan. With an increase of 1.67%, wages have tripled in the past five years and will continue to rise in the future, taking into account rising prices and other factors. In order to reduce their declining profit margins, Japanese manufacturing companies in China have accelerated the spread of corporate automation and increased the rate of locally purchased parts to reduce labor costs.
