The Minimum Wage System is a necessity for governments to interfere with employment relations. The system plays such an important role in ensuring laborers to get reasonable payment that it causes discussion on the importance of its existence at the very beginning of its implementation. From 1993, China has been referring to international tradition to implement the minimum wage system, but the result is not so satisfying. And at the same time, the status quo of labor market in the economic transformation period challenges the system. So in the background of economic transformation, clearly understanding the importance of minimum wage system, constructing a reasonable pattern of minimum wage system for public selection and setting minimum wage standard are not only a necessity for current China's minimum wage system but a necessity for harmonious development of the society as well.In foreign countries the research on the system mainly focuses on the adjustment, implementation and economic effect of minimum wage. But in China, due to the short research history, our study on the theory of minimum wage is far from perfect. In this article the author makes a comparison and analysis between the origin and development of the system in China and in foreign countries and it also discusses the significance and the value of the existence of the system. Based on practical research, using the implementation status quo of the minimum wage system in Quanzhou city as an example, the author collects the first hand data of the system's implementation circumstance and influencing factors in some counties and districts of Quanzhou city. To comprehend and find out the factors influencing the implementation of the system in the city,to discuss rationality of setting the minimum wage standard and to explore the reason why the minimum wage system doesn't exert its macro-economic control function in economic development and social stability, the author also gathers , update statistics and analyzes the data obtained from research. In the article, the author analyzes the problem that the minimum wage standard is too low. In the light of the problem, combing with status quo of economic and social development, the author puts forward detailed suggestions on the issue of perfecting the minimum wage system, which offers references for government to set minimum wage standard and perfect this system.
