Chinese Worker Wages in 1963 Compared with 1933 Living Costs
Reports from Peking describe average Chinese wages around 79 yuan monthly with apprentices earning up to 50 and managers just over 100. After rent and utilities, a typical worker has about 20 dollars left, enough for clothes radios bicycles and basic furniture but little luxury. The piece contrasts urban showplaces with millions still living in crowded old dwellings and notes limited leisure and rare access to cars. It also covers medical cost sharing, retirement pay, and family allowances, highlighted by a visit to Chao Yang living quarters near Shanghai depicting the new textile workers community and a poignant chant about mothers working night shifts.
