本文分析了安哥拉和埃塞俄比亚的中国企业和非中国企业之间的工资差异。中国企业越来越多地参与撒哈拉以南非洲地区,引发了有关为非洲工人提供的工作条件的争论。然而,许多有关在撒哈拉以南非洲地区经营的中国企业工资的说法的证据并不令人信服。在本文中,作者指出了现有文献的问题,并提供了有关中国、安哥拉和埃塞俄比亚其他外国和国内企业工资的新比较证据。作者根据 1,400 多名工人层面的访谈发现,中国企业的薪酬并不总是低于同类企业。作者利用多尺度劳动制度框架表明,需要结合个体工人特征、部门特殊性和公司属性来解释两国工资的差异。企业的国籍本身并不能解释所观察到的工资差异。
This paper analyses wage differences between Chinese and non-Chinese firms in Angola and Ethiopia. The growing engagement of Chinese firms in sub-Saharan Africa has generated debates about the working conditions offered to African workers. However, the evidence for many of the claims made about wages in Chinese firms operating in sub-Saharan Africa is unconvincing. In this paper the authors identify problems with the existing literature and provide new comparative evidence on wages in Chinese, other foreign and domestic firms in Angola and Ethiopia. Drawing on over 1,400 worker-level interviews the authors find that Chinese firms do not consistently pay less than comparable firms. Using a multi-scalar labour regime framework the authors show that a combination individual worker characteristics, sector specificities, and firm attributes are necessary to explain variations in wages in both countries. The national origin of firms by itself cannot explain the observed differences in wages.
