Product upgrades and productivity gains have countered the rise in the unit labour cost. 产品档次提升和生产率提高抵消了单位劳动成本的上涨。
One-size-fits-all requires downward unit labour cost adjustments in countries with high unemployment and major competitiveness problems; it requires all national fiscal and supervisory policies to avoid any build-up of imbalances and boom-bust cycles. 一刀切的做法,需要那些高失业率和存在重大竞争力问题的国家下调单位劳动成本;它需要所有国家制定避免失衡累积和兴衰周期的财政及监管政策。
In this article, the author tried to establish an analysis index of China-US manufacturing relative unit labour cost so as to clarify the above issue. 本文试图通过构建中美制造业相对单位劳动成本这一分析指标来使这些问题得以澄清。
From 2000 to 2008, the Greek unit labour cost rose 24 per cent while that of Germany rose a mere 4 per cent. Then came the crisis, and austerity. 从2000年到2008年期间,希腊单位劳动成本上升了24%,而德国仅上升了4%。
This means that although real income has been increasing, this has been more than offset by productivity gains and unit labour cost for companies has actually been falling. 这意味着,尽管实际收入一直在增长,但生产率增长远远抵消了其影响,企业的单位劳动力成本实际上一直在下降。
