賃上げ、ベア念頭に検討　定着は「社会的責務」―前年より踏み込む・経団連２５年春闘指針

　経団連は２１日、２０２５年春闘で経営側の指針となる「経営労働政策特別委員会報告（経労委報告）」を発表した。２３、２４年の賃上げの勢いを社会全体に定着させ、分厚い中間層の形成と構造的賃上げの実現に貢献することが「経団連と企業の社会的責務だ」と明記。手法は「（基本給を底上げする）ベースアップ（ベア）を念頭に置いた検討が望まれる」とし、前年より踏み込んだ。
　記者会見した経労委の大橋徹二委員長（コマツ会長）は「この２年間の賃上げの勢いは劇的に変わった」と指摘。その上で、「優先順位として、まず月例賃金を上げることが一つの考え方だ」と述べた。（2025/01/21-18:50）

The Japan Business Federation, or Keidanren, on Tuesday released guidelines for its member companies on this year's "shunto" spring wage negotiations, urging them to consider pay scale hikes.
   In the guidelines, Keidanren stressed that the business group and its member companies have a social responsibility to contribute to the formation of a thick middle class and the realization of structural wage increases by ensuring that the momentum for wage increases, which was seen in the past two years, takes root broadly in society.
   Keidanren vowed to make every effort for the continuation of wage increases to cope with rising prices.
   Member companies were urged to raise wages in a manner appropriate to each company through sincere discussions with the labor side.
   The business group emphasized that it is increasingly important to implement structural wage increases at small and midsize companies, which account for about 70 pct of employment in the country, and to raise wages and improve working conditions for fixed-term workers, who account for nearly 40 pct of all workers in the country.
