    In China, minimum wage becomes higher in many places. But people disagree over its benefits and drawbacks. Supporters say it increases the worker’s standard of living, while opponents say it increase unemployment. What do you think?
选项
答案 To counter domestic inflation, several provinces in China have increased their minimum wage. But people disagree over its pros and cons. Proponents of raising the minimum wage think that it increases the standard of living of workers, reduces poverty, and forces businesses to be more efficient. Objectors think that if it is high enough to be effective, it increases unemployment. Employers might be unhappy with higher labor costs. But labor activists warn that inflation has reduced the buying power of today’s minimum wage. They say a minimum wage must be enough for workers and their families to live on. To my way of thinking, benefits of raising the minimum wage are much greater than drawbacks. First of all, raising wages may help sustain domestic demand as slower global growth damps the rebound in exports. Higher wages and salaries among industrial and services workers could help China reduce its reliance on exports and investment as engines of growth. In the second place, the widening gap between rich and poor has been evident for years in China. Raising the minimum wages is part of the rebalancing. Narrowing this gap is important to maintain a population with equal freedoms. Last but not the least, raising the minimum wage forces wealthy companies to share more of the money they make with the people who helped them make it. It helps to reduce the practice of hoarding all the money for the executives and paying wages to workers that do not meet their basic needs. From what has been mentioned above, we can come to the conclusion that raising the minimum wage has much more advantages than disadvantages. We all should support the country’s policy to raise the minimum wage.
