2007年3月12日 全球高管薪资“缩小差距”

The pay gap between professional staff and managers employed in emerging economies in Asia and eastern and central Europe and those working in the developed world is narrowing rapidly after taking into account inflation, according to a study to be released today.

跨国咨询公司Hay Group针对50多个国家薪资涨幅的预测显示，计入当地生活成本之后，预计亚洲和东欧的实际薪资增速将高于西欧和美国这些“老牌发达经济体”。

Forecasts of wage increases in more than 50 countries, published by global consultants Hay Group, reveal that real pay, after allowing for local cost of living, is predicted to race ahead in Asia and eastern Europe this year compared with the “developed old economies” of western Europe and the US.

Hay Group表示，薪资增速提高反映出，“中国、印度、前东欧集团以及波罗的海国家的经济迅速增长正产生财富创造效应。”

Faster wage growth reflects “the wealth creation being generated by rapid economic acceleration in China, India, the former eastern bloc and the Baltic states,” says Hay.

全球最大的招聘机构之一万宝盛华(Manpower)在去年发布的一份研究报告中警告称，在华跨国公司难以留住专业人员和技术支持人员，它们正不得不支付更高薪资以及过高的招聘成本，以应对人才短缺问题。

A study by Manpower, one of the world’s largest recruitment companies, warned last year that multinational companies struggling to retain professional and support staff in China, were having to pay higher salaries and excessive recruitment costs to beat skill shortages.

Hay Group表示，预计中国高级管理人员的实际薪资今年将以8.9％的“惊人”速度增长。计入通胀因素后，行政管理人员的收入预计将增长7.9％，专业人员为7.8％。

According to Hays, the real pay of senior mangers in China is forecast to rise by “an impressive” 8.9 per cent this year. Earnings of professional staff after adjusting for inflation are predicted to rise by 7.9 per cent for administrative workers and by 7.8 per cent for professional staff.

Hay Group表示，印度有望继续保持去年极高的薪资增幅，该国高级管理人员的实际收入预计将增长6.9％。

Extremely high pay rises in India last year also look set to continue in 2007 with real earnings of senior managers forecast to rise by 6.9 per cent, it says.

东欧的实际薪资增速也将“远高于西欧”。预计保加利亚今年的薪资涨幅最高，该国管理人员、专业人员和行政人员的平均实际薪资涨幅预计将达到6％。

Real pay in eastern Europe is also rising “at a rate far above that in the west”. The biggest rises this year are expected in Bulgaria where average real increases of 6 per cent are predicted for managers, professional staff and administrative workers.
