Chinese Workers' Salaries Fail to Keep Pace with GDP Growth, Study Finds

China has enjoyed phenomenal growth in the past few decades despite a recent slowdown in GDP gains, but individual salaries have largely failed to keep pace, according to a recent study.

The country's gross domestic product (GDP) grew by 75.9% from 2008 to 2015 while salaries rose by just 10.6%, both on an inflation-adjusted basis, according to advisory firm Korn Ferry Institute. The pace of growth of both indicators were the highest in the world, but the gap between the two is also the largest.
