Urban annual disposable income RMB 11,759

Rural annual disposable income RMB 3,587

Minimum wage laws exist in PRC and are enforced on a provincial level. However only two provinces (Heilongjiang and Xinjiang) pay a minimum wage equivalent to maintain an average standard of living. The worst region is the Pearl River Delta where the minimum wage is enough to buy four bowls of noodles each day for one person.

Minimum wage laws are breached generally through employer deductions such as accomodation and food

The worst problem tend to be that employers withold payment of wages in order to ensure their staff are retained. One example of this is the SOE China State Construction Engineering Corp of Nanjing hired armed men to attack worker representatives demanding payment of their wages. in the conflict one worker had their arm amputated.

Answer 2

Very low. Those who have been able to find work in a factory as unskilled labor are right at the US $100 per month. Many rural parts of China it could be less.

Answer 3

Less than $10,000. (Maybe even less than $5,000.) Especially since large American companies are putting their factories in Asian countries, such as China, so they can pay less.

Answer 4

it depends because there is no min wage.

some make $1 hr some $2 a day.

Lots of factories provide free (on site) housing and food as well.
