On november 27, the northeast net, the average monthly wife's salary was $3,700 a month, and the famous star monthly sister's monthly salary was $8,000. In recent days, journalists have visited a number of domestic service centres in harbin city to learn that baby-sitters in harbin city have been paid a straight price, and that since mid-september the domestic service market has faced a collective wage increase. In recent days, journalists have been registered in five domestic service centres and intermediaries in harbin city, seeking to find a day-time domestic worker who would pay $1,000 a month. However, seven days after registration, none of them have been recruited. Journalists reconnected with the centre and its staff advised journalists to raise their monthly salary to $1,500. From now on, there are no candidates。
The staff of various domestic service centres have informed journalists that the current “businesses” of the wages of domestic workers are: three meals a day and a room, with a monthly salary of more than $1,500; the monthly salary of the sister-in-law, who is only responsible for cooking, is $3,700; the monthly rate is $5,000; until mid-september, the salaries of the three domestic workers were only about $1,200, $300,000 and $4,000, representing an increase of about 20 per cent. In comparison, in 2010, the average monthly number of employees in the harbin municipality was $2994. 58; the average monthly number of non-private employees in the city was 2699. 75。
What is the reason why the wages of the babysitting have soared, rather than the market being cold, the price of supply should not be higher?
Ms. Zhao, who lives at south straight road, told journalists that six months ago she almost “snatched” a woman who was said to be a clean, hard-working sister-in-law, although without star-class signs, was only responsible for cooking and feeding baby powder, and was paid $3,700 a month. Even so, the staff of the domestic service centre told her that “if she wanted to retain someone, she would have to be paid an increase at the end of the month”. Another ms. Lee, who worked in harbin city, said that since the end of last year she had had a baby-sitter, who was only responsible for the food and living of the children, had initially demanded a salary of $1,500, which had risen to $1,800 in march. On those days, the nanny offered to resign at the end of the month, and after ms. Lee visited a number of intermediaries, she was paid up to $2,000 on the same day, and she withdrew her request。
According to the staff of one of the domestic companies, the monthly wife's supply was short of demand, so they could raise the price as soon as they shouted to increase it, as did the other ones. Last month's best price was $5,000, and this year around $6,500 is not in the minority. The price is even over $8,000. Some of the sis-in-law are required to make a reservation one or even three months in advance, and the order is already six months in advance. Journalists have learned that the main force of sis-in-law is the "80-year-old" young parents who are currently in the reproductive stage and who account for about 80 per cent of the monthly consumer market. According to industry sources, “80 years later” have reached the peak of childbirth, and even though it takes thousands of yuan a month to ask their wives, their standard of living is better, with the economic support of both parents, often more than not。
Journalists at a domestic company in harbin city learned that the hourly rate is now divided into 15 and 20 yuan per hour, and that hourly workers must be hired for more than 3 hours, and those less than 3 hours must be paid at the same rate. “the number of hours worked was around $10, but now the price is double.” ms. Sun, the ms. Song, who was going to find a timer, heard that the timer price was rising again, and he hesitated. She said that a time-timer was now invited home to clean up and spend about $20 more on four hours of work than at the same time last year. In the past, she had hired two hourly workers a week, now once a week, only to do more on her own. In ms. Song's view, the increase in the price of time-time workers would not have been sufficient, but would have been accompanied by time constraints, which would have been a disguised increase。
A few days ago, ms. Lee of her family's dwelling house offered a 200-dollar bonus to the nanny. Journalists in the interview learned that as the demand for help increased, the babysitting became more and more “gold” and that many users had to do their best to play “emotional cards” in order to keep the babysitting. In the past six years, ms. Xu's family has changed more than 20 nannies, who have been fired more frequently than she wants. Ms. Xu said that the nanny was too good to say a few words and would pack up and leave the next day. "what user dares to teach a nanny, and it's too late for them!" ms. Xu said that, in order to keep a nanny, she often bought a gift for the nanny, and when she came home after the holidays, she added a red bag as an incentive, in addition to a pack of food and drink. "i'm afraid they won't come back after the holidays!"
In a large domestic company, journalists have seen the accumulation of heavy numbers of child-sitters, nearly 10,000 of them, while the number of child-sitters working on the scene stands at dozens, with a severe imbalance between supply and demand. According to staff members, in recent years there has been an increase in the number of citizens looking for babysitting, and companies have been able to receive hundreds of user requests on a daily basis. However, the number of nannies is limited, especially in the home. In order to keep the nanny as much as possible, many users are indeed “doing”. This situation has also led to the selection of child-sitters and successive increases in wages. In order for the baby-sitter industry to enter a virtuous circle, in addition to changing attitudes among users, there is an urgent need for the baby-sitting corps to expand its ranks and promote a balance between supply and demand。
It is known that domestic workers in harbin city are down by one third this year compared to the same period last year, and that their remuneration has increased by about 20 per cent. As a result of the rising cost of services for domestic workers, part of the population has reduced the number of hours worked to clean up their rooms and part of the population has cancelled their babysitting services and moved to housekeeping. According to a survey conducted by the harbin survey team of the national statistical office, the price of manual services has risen significantly as labour costs continue to rise and minimum wages rise. In the first four months of the year, the price of hourly workers in harbin city rose from an average of 11. 5 yuan per hour in the same period of the previous year to 14 yuan per hour, an increase of 21. 7 per cent; and the cost of baby-sitting increased from an average of 925 yuan per month in the previous year to 1100 per month。
With the ageing of our population, an increasing number of older persons are in need of care, and the high demand for child-sitters and hourly workers is also an important reason for the “floating” and “higher prices” of domestic workers. According to the director of the harbin association of domestic services and the training department of the harbin women's union domestic service centre, there has been a general increase in the remuneration of domestic workers in harbin city this year and a sharp decline in domestic workers in harbin city. Owing to the diversification of employment channels, the lack of human resources and the fact that some people work at home to produce handicrafts, domestic workers in harbin city are now about one third less than in the same period last year, and there is a widespread shortage of domestic workers on holidays. “now, it's getting harder and harder for domestic workers.” the director of the park said。
