We will no longer buy cheap Chinese clothes that look like the originals, because more and more young people in Asia do not want to work in factories for the production of clothes and shoes, writes the website businessnovinite.bg.
An analysis by the “Wall Street Journal” shows that more and more young Chinese are deciding to leave the clothing factories and mostly try to earn money through the Internet or look for easier work in an office. This situation, of course, is not from yesterday, so it is interesting that the factory owners have already started looking for ways to keep the workers. For example, desperate factory owners in Vietnam, Malaysia, Taiwan and China are offering their workers free yoga and dance lessons, have removed uniforms and built children’s corners in factories so workers can now work and watch their children.
We are trying to make the working space attractive to the workers, we are slowly removing the barriers, we are putting more windows, there is more light now, we are playing music for them, the air conditioners are always on. The fight to keep young people is difficult, but we are doing everything in our power. This is according to Syed Hussain Huisman, president of the Malaysian Federation of Employers.
The experts’ explanation for such a sharp change is in the difference in generations.
“The young population is educated and has access to the Internet, from where they are educated about labor rights and violations by employers. Unlike their parents, for whom factories meant secure work and a way out of poverty, Millennials and Generation Z want to work on their own terms, seeking better work-life balance, career development opportunities and flexible working conditions.” experts explain.
A large part of the imports in our country and in the Balkans is also from China, with the larger importers personally traveling to China, where they have their associates, and from there acquiring goods that they resell to local boutiques, markets and shops.
According to a study published by Reuters, more than 80% of Chinese factories have labor problems. China’s Ministry of Education predicts there will be a shortage of 30 million workers by 2025. Government figures explain that China will lose 35 million working-age adults within 5 years. China, the world’s factory for anything and everything, now wants to focus on producing high-end products.
