Minimum wage in european countries

  1. The reason why Finland, Sweden and Denmark do not have a minimum wage is that the default is that unions negotiate baseline standards trough collective bargaining. The question of minimum wage therefore seldom ever comes up in politics.

  2. How do they not have data on Ukraine, Belarus, Russia? It’s easily accessible

    Ukraine (1 Jan 2022) – 6500 hrivna or 209 Euro

    Belarus – 457 bel. rubles or 158 Euro

    Russia – 13 890 rubles or 164 Euro

  3. It’s important to take into account that these numbers represent the monthly gross minimum wage, that is, before the taxing mechanism usually take about half of it. For example, in Romania, the minimum wage after tax were applied is roughly 300€.

  4. As per usual, these numbers are meaningless as they’re not RELATIVE to their country. In this case: Cost of living.

    Lots of people come from orange/red countries, work in the green countries, live in the cheapest, tiniest apartment, and send all their leftover money home. Which makes sense for them.

    But good luck surviving on minimum wage while properly living in most of the green countries. Bonus points for having to feed and house a family.

  5. Romania has a minimum wage of 300€….not 500+…..thats medium wage… , actual romainian…

  6. Equivalent of €1602.41 in the UK, based on 37 hours a week in a 4 week month.

    Minimum wage is €10.83 an hour.

    And that’s if you’re an adult over 23…

  7. Spain is 1,167 EUR per month by 12-month payment per year now. And after tax rate is about 1,000 EUR. However, growth rate of smi is lower than inflation rate, it is estimated that by year 2023 smi will grow by 5%

  8. As many people mentioned already in the comments. Nordic countries don’t have minimum wages because they have unions that negotiate salaries (all the time in the case of my union). This is why even a cleaner has to earn decently. It makes everything more expensive because the labor force is cost more, but it also increases equality which is great 😀

  9. Finally we got out of the red zone, it was a long climb.

    Although the prices are already similar to west europe, especially in high tech sectors where imported gadgets are directly priced like that, whereas a few local produced stuff has moderate pricing. Not good, but not horrible either.

  10. Soooo Lets see…. Ooohhh yea plenty of our tax money from the Netherlands 🇳🇱 goes to Luxemburg 🇱🇺. That’s always been. That’s why the salary scales are best over there. Long live (former queen) princess Beatrix , duchess of Luxemburg 😯

  11. I guess in countries with no minimum wage they could write what is the lowest wage for the lowest paid full time job .
