Recently, the proposal of the NPC deputies on "entering the factory more and sending less takeaway" has become a hot search, which has become the focus of discussion among netizens after tea and dinner. It is undeniable that in recent years, the rise of emerging industries such as live broadcasting, e-commerce, and takeaway has successfully absorbed a large number of young people's employment, which has further led to a decrease in the willingness of young people to enter the factory, and has led to the difficulty of recruiting workers in the manufacturing industry and the hollowing out of industrial workers.
The data predicts that by 2025, the talent gap in the mainland manufacturing industry will reach nearly 30 million, and the gap rate will be as high as 48%. In stark contrast, by the end of 2021, the number of takeaway and courier employees has exceeded 10 million, of which nearly 40% of the new takeaway riders in the early stage of the outbreak in 2020 are from manufacturing workers, with an average of 1.5 million people leaving the manufacturing industry every year.
Agriculture and manufacturing "grab people"
In fact, the manufacturing industry has a long history of facing a talent gap. In the 1980s and 1990s, when migrant workers were just emerging, a large number of young laborers poured into cities and towns, and there was a phenomenon of manufacturing and agriculture "robbing people". Nowadays, the post-80s "don't want to farm", the post-90s "won't plant", the post-00s "don't mention the planting land", just imagine, if they all go to the factory to work, then who will plant the land?
Service industry and manufacturing industry "grab people"
It is understood that as early as the large-scale rise of takeaway and e-commerce, the manufacturing industry has faced a talent shortage crisis, and even once there was a "strange phenomenon" that young people would rather be waiters than enter the workshop as workers. The reason why the service industry can "rob people" from the manufacturing industry is that in the final analysis, some problems in the manufacturing industry itself have prompted young people to leave, such as wages, benefits, and the environment.
Takeaway industry and manufacturing industry "grab people"
Different times, there are different employment options. In the cognition of young people, the definition of a good job is obviously different from the previous generation, and young people in the new era have more diversified employment options, rather than going to the factory to work tired and tired, it is easier to deliver takeaways and express delivery. At the same time, compared with the relatively depressing environment of the factory, the delivery workers and couriers are mentally free.
Into the factory VS delivery of takeaways, which makes more money?
Entering the factory: Technical talents enter the factory, and the salary level is relatively high. Taking electrical engineers as an example, in 2021, the minimum salary level for this position in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou will be 8,000 yuan / month, and the highest salary level will be 15,000 yuan / month. If you take into account various factors such as bonuses, commissions, subsidies, overtime wages, etc., it is not a problem to easily earn more than 10,000 yuan a month.
Takeaway: The takeaway express delivery industry has relatively low requirements for employment, and its salary income level is mainly directly linked to its own labor income, that is, more work and more gain. Taking a takeaway platform as an example, the average commission of the rider for each takeaway is 5 to 6 yuan, assuming that he can run 40 to 50 orders per day, the daily income is 200 to 300 yuan, and 30 days a month is 6000 to 9000 yuan.
It is not difficult to see through the data that compared with food delivery, skilled manufacturing talents make more money! However, if it is a general worker in the factory assembly line, its monthly salary may not necessarily earn more by running takeaways. Therefore, from this point of view, manufacturing factories should not only improve the salary and welfare standards of skilled talents, but also appropriately increase the salary level of ordinary workers to improve the competitiveness and attractiveness of their positions. After all, "recruiting and retaining people" is the key, and no matter how much empty talk is said, it is useless!
Some analysts said that if different industries are "robbed" and cause competition in salary, social security and working environment, it is a big benefit for the employed! After all, whether it is the service industry or manufacturing industry, whether it is a traditional industry or an emerging industry, only by effectively improving the competitiveness and attractiveness of their own jobs can we retain more young people! In other words, only when young people realize that entering the factory as an industrial worker is a decent and proud thing, will the problem of manufacturing labor difficulties be fundamentally alleviated!
