介護職月給、７７８０円増　３２万円、全産業平均届かず―厚労省調査

　厚生労働省は２４日、介護施設に勤める職員を対象にした２０２１年９月時点の給与実態調査結果を公表した。介護職員の賃金アップに向けた「特定処遇改善加算」を受ける施設では、常勤職員の平均月給は前年より７７８０円増えて３２万３１９０円となった。ただ、全産業平均（２０年は月額３５万２０００円）は下回っており、人手不足解消にはさらなる処遇改善が求められそうだ。
　同省担当者は「職場環境の改善などに取り組んだ結果、加算措置の対象施設が増えた」としている。岸田政権は介護職員の賃上げ策として収入の３％（月９０００円）程度を引き上げる措置を導入したが、今年２月分から始まったため、今回の結果に反映されていない。（2022/03/24-09:07）

The average monthly wage of people working at nursing care facilities in Japan covered under the government's wage-hike scheme as of September 2021 rose by 7,780 yen from a year before, Japan's labor ministry said Thursday.
   According to a survey on salaries of employees at nursing homes, the average monthly wage of full-time workers at facilities receiving financial support under the ministry's scheme to encourage pay raises for experienced nursing care staff rose to 323,190 yen.
   The figure, however, falls below the average pay for employees among all industries, at 352,000 yen in 2020.
   The number of nursing care facilities covered under the scheme has gone up as many of such establishments worked on improving their work environment to be eligible to apply for the support, a ministry official said.
   While the administration of Prime Minister Fumio Kishida has introduced measures to raise wages of care staff by around 9,000 yen per month, the impact of such actions was not included in the latest survey, as they were implemented from February this year.
