China Should Raise Labor Income, Researcher Writes in Daily

China should raise workers’ income as a percentage of the country’s gross domestic product by developing the services and other tertiary industries, Liu Junsheng, a researcher with the Labor Wage Research Institute under the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, wrote in a commentary in the China Daily.

Worker pay in some labor-intensive industries such as manufacturing and construction should also be boosted, Liu wrote in the newspaper. The government should also cut fiscal revenue and improve the “mechanism of wage growth,” Liu wrote.
