Rise in Asia's wages outpace rest of the world

The Asia Pacific region has outperformed the rest of the world when it comes to wage growth, according to an International Labour Organisation (ILO) report.

据英国广播公司（BBC）12月5日报道,世界劳工组织(International Labour Organisation)的一项报告显示,亚太地区在薪酬涨幅方面表现亮眼,领先全球.

Annual average incomes rose 6% in the region, compared to a global average growth of 2% in 2013.

该报告显示,2013年亚太地区收入平均增长6%,而全球平均涨幅仅为2%.

Wages in China have risen the fastest, up 9%, according to the UN body.

隶属于联合国的该机构指出,其中增长最快的是中国,达到9%.

But despite the big gains, wages in many countries in the region were still much lower than in developed economies.

虽然增幅明显,但亚太地区许多国家的薪资水平仍远低于发达国家.

Even though wages in Asia have risen almost two-and-a-half fold since the beginning of the century, the report said "one third of the region's workers remain unable to lift themselves and their families above the international poverty threshold of $2 per day".

进入21世纪以来,亚洲地区的薪资水平增长了将近2.5倍,但报告中说道："该地区仍然有1/3的劳动者及其家人仍然生活在每天2美元的国际贫困线以下."

The impact of the global financial crisis on wage growth can also still be seen in the region.

同时,全球金融危机对薪酬增长的影响在亚太地区依旧存在.
