The "demographic dividend" began lighting industry recruitment difficulties

Chinese Lighting Appliance Association chairman Liu Shengping said: "the Chinese lighting products occupy an important position in the global market, global lighting products production, sales and export country, products are exported to 218 countries and regions in the world. In the global market, which accounted for about 80% of energy-saving lamps, Christmas lights accounted for about 80%, incandescent lamps accounted for about 1/3, other types of lamps accounted for about 1/3, thus, LED lighting products have obvious advantages.

From the summary of Liu Shengping, we can clearly see the overall situation of China's lighting industry. However, the position we do not have too much joy, as everyone knows, the rapid development of China's lighting industry, the first is to rely on low abundant labor resources, the lighting industry as a labor-intensive encountered disappearing "demographic dividend", where the industry will go?

Recently, Li Peilin, vice president of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said that China's demographic dividend inflection point is expected in 2015 will come ahead of schedule. He pointed out that with the arrival of this turning point, China is difficult to recruit, pension and other issues will be more prominent. The disappearance of the demographic dividend, will lead to a shortage of labor, rising labor force, social burden and other negative economic growth hindered.

The rapid development of lighting industry thanks to adequate labor

China's sustained and rapid economic growth in recent decades has been widespread concern in the world, and one of the important reasons behind it is that other countries do not have a wealth of cheap labor resources. Demographic dividend is also linked to the prospects of China's sustained economic growth.

What is the "demographic dividend" refers to? The fertility rate in a period of rapid decline in children and elderly dependency burden were relatively low, the proportion of the working age population in the total population rise before so as to achieve a higher level in elderly population, forming a relatively rich labor resources, the golden age is very favorable for economic development the. The image is the work of many people. Work more, naturally more money.

Lighting industry as part of the national economy, the benefit of labor resources natural be nothing difficult. "The industry characteristics of the lighting industry, it is precisely the characteristics of the product determines that it must rely on the development of a large number of labor. Zhongshan Jinling Lighting Co., Ltd. deputy general manager Xiao Nanfang said that in the upper reaches of the modern mechanical equipment can also be used in the downstream market, only rely on people, and only part of the machine can rely on.

According to relevant data, in fact, as early as in China during 1965~1970 "demographic dividend" began to appear, but the "demographic dividend" for a long time, we seem to have found its effect on the economy, it is more to feel the pressure of population and employment pressure, and a large number of rural surplus labor urban unemployment plagued by serious economic growth. At that time, the employing units to occupy the dominant position, and now, the times have undergone a fundamental change - the initiative to transfer to the workers. This also means that the demographic dividend gradually disappear. Although the "demographic dividend" will disappear in what is still controversial, but it is clear that the consensus is that China's cheap labor is no longer an endless stream of imagination.

Lighting industry bid farewell to the advantages of low cost

Although the new generation of workers will not be the only factor in the choice of a job, but wages still occupy the most important position. From the current Guzhen lighting enterprise given wages, workers are paid at about 2000-3500 yuan per month, about 3500-6000 yuan monthly salary. "It's hard to get up. Xiao Nan believes that the current wage is basically to the limit. Lighting companies increasingly low profit margins, it is difficult to support rising wages".

Guangdong juke lighting director of Limited by Share Ltd deputy general manager Wang Junhua also expressed similar views, he believes that the lighting enterprises should not separate working capital to recruit a brand, this is not business, after all, as the traditional manufacturing industry, the industry no company can easily pay for rising wages.

In fact, the reporter found in visits to the talent market, many enterprises to the staff recruitment, have spent huge sums of money. For example, the reporter saw the town south brand lighting factory is 3000 yuan, 10000 yuan / month + commission "to drive sales manager with wages, driving engineers for" 5000 yuan, 10000 yuan / month, focus on e-commerce in the recruitment of Plymouth Dili lighting cameraman gives the wages of 6000 yuan. 10000 yuan.

However, in the efforts to improve the wages of employees, lighting companies have already been a bit powerless.

For the traditional manufacturing industry, the lighting industry, in the global industrial chain, China's lighting industry is still only the most meager profit margins, especially the LED lighting industry. For lighting companies, the future of meager profits difficult to support rising wages. And bid farewell to the competitive advantage of low-cost lighting industry to bring suffering, will be a long and painful process.

Forced recruitment forced transformation and upgrading of enterprises

Recruitment is not only the competition between enterprises, but also the industry and industry competition. In the "demographic dividend" recedes, in the face of competition other competitive industries, China's lighting industry will go from here? With the phase change of China's economic and social development, for a long time by the cheap labor mode decide on what path to follow and promote the lighting industry development?
