In 1980, the fourth edition of my country's 100 yuan was just released. At that time, everyone's income was very low, and a hundred-dollar bill was really a rare item. My father had just started working at that time and his monthly salary was only more than 30 yuan. At that time, the purchasing power of currency was very real, and one yuan could do a lot of things. My memory when I was a child was an orange-flavored popsicle, and at that time I only had two cents per piece.
Time flies, and today 42 years later, the hundred-dollar bill really cannot be called " big bill ". It is also normal for people to earn several thousand yuan a month. Comparison, how much is the current 100 yuan in 1980?
First of all, from the perspective of salary, . By looking through the salary yearbook in 1981, we can find out that the average salary of employees in various departments in , the average salary of all departments in the country was 803 yuan, and the average monthly salary was 67 yuan.
At that time, only the units owned by the whole people had statistical data, and later units also had various economic forms. For example, our units can now be divided into urban non-private units and urban private units . Urban non-private units include state-owned units, urban collective units, shares cooperative units, joint venture units, limited liability companies, shares , Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan investment units, foreign investment units, etc.
If we follow a unified perspective, the salary of national-owned units should be compared with the salary of state-owned units . According to the latest national statistical yearbook data, the average salary of state-owned units in the average salary of non-private urban units in 2021 is 115,583 yuan .
In 2022, the National Bureau of Statistics stated that the wage income of urban and rural residents in my country's per capita disposable income increased by 5.1%. According to the same proportion, the average salary of employees of state-owned units can reach 121,478 yuan in 2022, and has increased by 150 times compared to 1980.
At this level, the 100 yuan in 1980 is equivalent to the current 15,000 yuan.
Second, from the perspective of disposable income of urban and rural residents . According to the data from the National Statistical Yearbook in 1983, the per capita disposable income of urban and rural residents in my country was 376 yuan.
In 2021, the per capita disposable income of residents across the country was 35,128 yuan. In the first to third quarters of 2022, the per capita disposable income of residents across the country was 27,650 yuan, and increased by 5.3% year-on-year.
If calculated at a 5.3% increase, the per capita disposable income is expected to reach 36,990 yuan in 2022, and the per capita disposable income increased by 97 times in 1980.
According to this ratio, 100 yuan in 1980 is equivalent to 9,700 yuan now.
Third, compare according to the perspective of how much money is in society (broad money supply M2) . Broad money supply M2 refers to cash circulating outside the banking system plus corporate deposits, resident savings deposits and other deposits. M2 actually includes all the currency form that may become a reality purchasing power. This is more realistic than the value before the two eras. It usually reflects the changes in the total social demand and the pressure state of future inflation .
According to data released by Central Bank , in January 1980, my country's broad money supply M2 was 103.1 billion yuan . According to the financial statistics report for October 2022 released in the previous paragraph, the balance of broad currency M2 in my country reached 261.29 trillion yuan at the end of October, an increase of 11.8% year-on-year. In other words, over the past 40 years, the total amount of money stored in our society has increased by 2533 times that of the past.
If you consider it from the above perspective, the 100 yuan in 1980 is equivalent to the current 253,400 yuan.
To sum up, does have different answers from different angles. But to be honest, people also clearly feel that living conditions have improved, especially in the 1980s, my country also implemented a limited supply system for ticketing system, and a month's salary could not buy much food. But now there is no problem buying several thousand kilograms of grain for a month. In short, cherishing the present is the best choice.
