Income distribution reform arduous  

解析中國(guó)工資“賬單” 收入分配改革任務(wù)艱巨

中國(guó)國(guó)家統(tǒng)計(jì)局29日公布數(shù)據(jù)稱，2011年中國(guó)平均工資的名義增速較2010年明顯提升。中新社記者在這份工資“賬單”中找到五個(gè)“不等式”，從中可以看出，中國(guó)收入分配改革雖已取得一定成效，但任務(wù)依然艱巨。

Beijing (CNS) -- China's income distribution reform is meeting five major issues, which demonstrated both the progress it has made over the past years and the difficulties the country faces in the years ahead, according to statistics released by the National Statistics Bureau on Tuesday.

In 2011, the average salary of a Chinese employee expanded significantly more than in 2010. However, as the authority's official Feng Nailin asserted, living standards, social equality, and a proper salary scale system are still the priorities.

First of all, the speed of salary increases in urban private companies is much faster than the growth rate of China's GDP.

The second comparison of note is that the average salary was inching upward more slowly than that of official financial revenues.

Third, taxes are jumping up faster than salaries. The good news is that personal income tax reform did reduce some tax burdens after it was enforced on September 1.

Another issue is the special case of rural migrant workers in cities. This category of earner makes more than 2,000 per month on average, a good sign for domestic respect of the laboring classes.

Last but not least, those within the financial sector still earn much more than people engaged in more basic industries such as agriculture, forestry, livestock farming and the fishery.
