Rising as 'New Blue-Collar Workers' - Flexibility in Time and Payment by Workload Appeal to Young People in Taiwan and Mainland China

Reported 11 months ago

According to statistics from Taiwan's Ministry of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration, the number of delivery drivers in Taiwan has tripled, with 40% being university students, following a trend seen in Mainland China where the once vast income gap between blue-collar and white-collar workers is closing. Dubbed as 'New Blue-Collar Workers,' these individuals prefer flexible working hours and being paid based on workload, with a significant portion being full-time employees in their 20s. The monthly average income for blue-collar workers in Mainland China ranges between 5,000 to 8,000 RMB, with professions like postpartum caregivers, truck drivers, and food delivery personnel earning relatively more. The rising income for blue-collar workers marks a new trend in China, where the salary gap between blue-collar and white-collar workers continues to decrease, highlighting a shift in the younger generation's job preferences influenced by lifestyle habits and values.
