04/06/2020 (Agence Europe) – According to a study published by Eurofound on Thursday, 4 June, minimum wages reportedly increased in most Member States in 2020, sometimes significantly, as in Poland (17%), Slovakia (12%), or the Czech Republic (11%). However, the French minimum wage reportedly increased only slightly (1.2%), and the wage in Latvia reportedly did not change. Eurofound notes that the minimum wage has become “fairer” over the last 20 years: the share of minimum wages in relation to median wages increased by seven percentage points during the 2000–2018 period, with the exception of Belgium, Ireland, and the Netherlands. Despite this upward trend, minimum wages in the majority of countries remain below 50% or even 60% of the median wage. For more information: https://bit.ly/2Y3kKuD (PH)
