In the past, CCTV often broadcast films such as "The Rise of Great Powers", but today we will talk about our close neighbor Japan, and in addition to visiting shrines, I have the impression that the economy is stagnant, and so on. Is this the case in real Japan? What is the standard of living of the Japanese people at largest? How much do workers get paid a month in Japan? Today, I will explain it to you!
Everyone knows that Japan is a developed and mature industrial society, and Japanese wages have two characteristics compared to China. One is that except for a few high-paying industries, such as investment banking, consulting, etc., the starting salary of fresh college graduates in all walks of life is basically the same, and then increases year by year with the number of years of work. The other is that the gap between the income level of high-paying industries and general industries is not particularly large.
The fixed monthly salary of Japanese people can be easily calculated as follows: 300,000 yen at the age of 30 and 500,000 yen at the age of 50, plus two bonuses for 2-5 months in the summer and at the end of the year. Therefore, the annual income at the age of 30 is generally 4.5 million yen, and the annual income at the age of 40 is 6 million yen, which is the after-tax income!
On July 26, 2016, a small committee of the Central Minimum Wage Council of the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare decided to raise the national minimum wage (hourly wage) by an average of 3% (24 yen) to 822 yen. If the 8-hour working week is converted into RMB, it is equivalent to 399 yuan! If it is estimated that only white-collar workers can achieve it in China!
Part-time workers in Japan are generally paid 700-1,000 yen/hour, working eight hours a day, and working 26 days a month, 166,400 yen/month. The income is quite considerable, there are now 100 yen shops everywhere in Japan, there are thousands of kinds of daily necessities, everything is 100 yen, that is, 7 yuan, and in China it costs more than 10 yuan to sell things such as tape measures, tools, etc., where it is also 100 yen.
If you work part-time in Japan for an hour, you can buy a half-sleeve of Muji. Working for an hour in China, in a Muji store in China, you can only buy a pack of cotton swabs for 10 yuan, and socks cost 28 yuan a pair, and you can't even afford a sock for an hour of part-time work...... To sum up, it can be seen that some things in Japan are much more expensive than those in China, such as vegetables. But what they can buy for the same hour, which looks more suitable than the value in China!
Don't convert the price of what is sold in Japan into yuan and compare it with China, because we don't make as much money. The monthly salary of Japanese people is about 40~500,000 yuan, which is difficult for ordinary employees to achieve in the mainland. But when it comes to things that can be exchanged for the same amount of time and work, Japanese ones are really tempting! For this reason, we should not only see the bad side of others, but should take the essence of it and learn it well!
