In Rumänien und Bulgarien ist der Mindestlohn laut einer Studie um rund 23 Prozent und 16 Prozent gestiegen. Ganz anders als in Deutschland. Dabei müsste die Untergrenze laut den Autoren auch hierzulande höher liegen.
A study on minimum wages reveals significant increases in Eastern Europe, with Romania and Bulgaria seeing rises of 23% and 16%, respectively. In contrast, Germany experienced a modest 3.3% increase, raising its minimum wage to 12.82 euros. This increase is unlikely to offset the 2.2% inflation rate, leaving little noticeable impact for workers. While Germany's minimum wage ranks high among EU countries, it falls short of the recommended 60% of the median wage, currently standing at 51.7%. The study suggests Germany would need to raise its minimum wage to around 15 euros to meet the target.
