Everyone has always been curious. Japan’s technology is so advanced, how much can an ordinary person’s salary be? Let's discuss this issue together.
Japan is a developed and mature industrial society. Compared with China, Japanese wages have two characteristics. One is that except for some high-paying industries, such as investment banking, consulting, etc., fresh college graduates from other walks of life start from The salary is basically the same, and then increases year by year with the working years. Another is that the gap in income levels between high-paying industries and general industries is not particularly large.
Japan implements 12 years of compulsory education. About 50% of formal employees (full-time members, with pensions and government annuities) are the minimum wage for formal employees as stipulated by law. The minimum salary for high school graduates is 150,000. The minimum number of college graduates is 190,000. The minimum graduate degree is RMB 210,000. Doctoral degrees are calculated as graduate students. Cities with high prices such as Tokyo area, Kyoto and Osaka will receive an additional subsidy of 20,000 to 10,000 yuan. For companies that join the labor union, wages will increase by RMB 10,000 to RMB 20,000 above this. Contract workers account for 30% (contract members, with government annuity) whose wages are variable. Basically the same as members of a cooperative, but without the employer's pension. There is a state pension. Official members receive double pensions. Part-time workers account for 20% (バイト (student, short-term), パート (real estate vagrant, long-term)) and are paid by the hour. There is almost no social security. Since the Koizumi administration, the number has increased from 5 to 15 (reported 2 years ago). Regular workers and contract workers generally support themselves with overtime pay and twice-yearly bonuses. Overtime pay is about 100,000 per month. Dividends range from RMB 00,000 to RMB 10 million each time. Companies that join labor unions generally have a lower limit of 400,000. Supplementary explanation of [Jumping Flying Bear]. As [Jumping Flying Bear] said, depending on the size of the company, efficiency, and wages, there will be a lot of manipulation. Small companies generally do not have labor unions, overtime is likely to be compulsory (no overtime pay), and bonuses may become 0 due to poor company performance. After deducting 50,000 for various expenses, undergraduate students are 19 2 (Tokyo subsidy) - 5 = 160,000. My company has a labor union. The efficiency is just okay. Basic salary is RMB 220,000 (graduate students). Various subsidies are 25,000, and the National Pension Unit will bear half (15,000). 22 2.5-3.5=210,000. Got 210,000 in hand. Because I'm a new employee, I haven't received any bonus yet, and I don't have much work, so it's not easy to work overtime. One hour of overtime is more than 1,800. You can't work part-time.
