TOKYO -- Asian workers are expected to enjoy the highest real wage growth in the world in 2018, thanks to solid growth and changes in the region's economic structure, while their counterparts in Japan and the Western advanced economies will see wage stagnation amid budding inflation.
Inflation-adjusted real wages are seen growing 2.8% in Asia this year, compared with an increase of just 1.5% worldwide, according to a recent annual survey conducted by human resources company Korn Ferry, which tracks 20 million workers in 25,000 corporations.
