Rise in Asia's wages outpace rest of the world

The Asia Pacific region has outperformed the rest of the world when it comes to wage growth, according to an International Labour Organisation (ILO) report.

據英國廣播公司（BBC）12月5日報道,世界勞工組織(International Labour Organisation)的一項報告顯示,亞太地區在薪酬漲幅方面表現亮眼,領先全球.

Annual average incomes rose 6% in the region, compared to a global average growth of 2% in 2013.

該報告顯示,2013年亞太地區收入平均增長6%,而全球平均漲幅僅為2%.

Wages in China have risen the fastest, up 9%, according to the UN body.

隸屬于聯合國的該機構指出,其中增長最快的是中國,達到9%.

But despite the big gains, wages in many countries in the region were still much lower than in developed economies.

雖然增幅明顯,但亞太地區許多國家的薪資水平仍遠低于發達國家.

Even though wages in Asia have risen almost two-and-a-half fold since the beginning of the century, the report said "one third of the region's workers remain unable to lift themselves and their families above the international poverty threshold of $2 per day".

進入21世紀以來,亞洲地區的薪資水平增長了將近2.5倍,但報告中說道："該地區仍然有1/3的勞動者及其家人仍然生活在每天2美元的國際貧困線以下."

The impact of the global financial crisis on wage growth can also still be seen in the region.

同時,全球金融危機對薪酬增長的影響在亞太地區依舊存在.
