The share of employees paid the minimum wage has increased from 12% to 17.3%. The priority of the five-year term is to reach full employment in 2027, compared to 7.4% currently.
“To increase the income of an employee on the minimum wages by 100 euros, the government will have to increase the tax rate on the highest earners’ earnings by 2.5%.” “This is not just a political issue, it is a social issue,” says the Prime Minister.
