Outlook on labor cost development in China (Shanghai region in particular) as a road map for multinational corporations (MNCs): Challenges for MNCs in Shanghai

Research Paper- Many observers, business people and in particular investors see labor cost developments in China as one of the main challenges for their Chinese subsidiaries. Especially in the East-coast region around Shanghai, labor cost has risen significantly within the last decade. For investors having subsidiaries in this region, the outlook on labor market might not look much brighter than it used to.

China is now undergoing one of the most massive urbanizations in human history, which becomes nowhere more evident than in Shanghai.
