About
The Michael Page Salary Benchmark
is our annual salary report developed
to provide hiring managers and
candidates with salary references
across various industries by job
functions, including Finance,
Technology, Human Resources, Sales
and more.
The report also includes an overview
of market trends, hiring demands
and job seekers’ sentiments within
each industry. This year’s Michael
Page Salary Benchmark is available
in 13 markets across the Asia Pacific:
Australia, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia,
Japan, Mainland China, Malaysia,
New Zealand, Philippines, Singapore,
Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam.

Report methodology
The Michael Page Salary Benchmark
is derived from 100,000 data points in
our proprietary data and network in
Mainland China, which includes job
advertisements and placements made
between July 2018 and June 2019,
incorporating salary projections for
2020, Job Applicant Confidence Index,
insights from our business leaders, our
recruiters’ interactions with companies
and industry professionals, as well as
other supplemental information from
our various studies were also taken
into consideration.
This year, the salary figures are
represented by the minimum,
maximum and median where median
is a representation of the middle-most
value in a set of data, arranged in
ascending order. This means that, half
the people who work in a specific field
earns less than the median salary from
the minimum, while the other half earns
more towards the maximum.
