After preparing the groundwork and completing the study in June and July, we will present it to the Economic Coordination Board,&#8221; I\u015f\u0131khan told reporters in the Parliament.<\/p>\n<p>Asked what the regulation would include, the minister said: &#8220;We haven&#8217;t finalized the content yet.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We need to conduct a proper analysis. We have to understand very clearly the eligibility and scope of housewives&#8217; retirement rights. We&#8217;ll be looking at factors such as the number of children, whether the individual is disabled, and total periods of service,&#8221; said I\u015f\u0131khan.<\/p>\n<p>The minister also addressed questions of a possible mid-year raise for minimum wage earners.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It\u2019s too early to talk about an interim increase in the minimum wage. When the time comes, we will make the necessary assessments,&#8221; he noted.<\/p>\n<p>T\u00fcrkiye had <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailysabah.com\/business\/economy\/turkiye-raises-minimum-wage-by-30-for-2025\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">hiked the minimum wage<\/a> for 2025 by 30%.
