Ministry of Labour plans to increase minimum wage again

The Ministry of Labour and Social Protection is preparing a suggestion to increase the minimum wage to correspond to the living wage on January 1, 2011. The minimum wage totals 400 thousand roubles as of November 1 and the living wage is almost 460 thousands roubles. The minimum wage provides social protection in the fields of labour relations, thinks the Ministry of Labour. The index has not changed in Belarus since January 1 and is one of the lowest indexes in the CIS and EU, informs BelaPAN.
