In 2001, 30 regions of China's mainland have instituted independent minimum wage systems, with a rule that each locality should set a minimum wage within the range of 40% to 60% of the average wage in that locality. In 2004, a reform of minimum wages established monthly minimum wages for full-time workers, and hourly minimum wages for part-time workers in provinces. The reported values correspond to average wages in two provinces prior to 2001, and in 30 provinces thereafter.
