Why do western countries work less hours than us, but their wages are higher than ours?
1. Western enterprises have higher technological content (plus better intellectual property protection), so they can support higher gross profit. And China is still in the low-end manufacturing industry, fake and shoddy, which will naturally be much worse. Of course, China is catching up (including Huawei and Tencent, whose salaries have reached or exceeded the western level).

This system is used too much. After a year, business owners can easily be robbed of hundreds of thousands of millions by tax, industry and commerce, fire protection and environmental protection departments, which will of course severely squeeze employees' wages (or close down). Zhihu civil servants can be saved, and I wouldn't say so without a lot of hard cases around me.

3. Western enterprises are not on the same level as China in leading the trend. For example, thousands of Adidas YEEZY series casual shoes have been hyped up, and the production cost is estimated to be only 100 pieces. But you red star Kerr can't play this effect! China enterprises are still in the process of changing from novice designers with a monthly salary of 4k to western designers. After all, the mainstream of contemporary civilized society is still dominated by the west. For example, the clothing of westerners is the mainstream of the world. Then domestic brands may not be able to make a suit (style, workmanship, fabric) of 5000 yuan.

4. Philosophy, China's philosophy is the rule of man, and the official level crushes people. The benefits are usually the boss's, and his people eat bread crumbs. They don't pay attention to designers, technicians, lawyers, strategic talents and engineers, but only pay attention to price wars, counterfeiting and plagiarism.

5. People who are suffering. China people have suffered for too long, and they are often able to accept lower treatment and more difficult conditions in material requirements, while westerners are not. I'm afraid western companies can't recruit people according to China's salary. For example, basically, in the western industries where China immigrants enter in large numbers, their wages will be greatly reduced. You can find many stories about Foxconn and Apple.

6. The efficiency of the enterprise. China enterprises tend to have more infighting and internal friction than western enterprises, so squeezing employees is inevitable.

7. Homogeneous social values. Due to the comprehensive pressure of life, price, house price, public opinion and marriage, society is very unfriendly to people who pursue other things. If you go to Africa to study some birds for a few years like a western researcher, your mother-in-law will definitely think that you are out of your mind. It is precisely because 99% of people have the pressure to "make money" that there is more labor (only supply and demand).
