The Minister of Labor and Social Security, Domna Michailidou, speaking to SKAI, stated the following:
Fourth consecutive increase in the minimum wage, 50 euros more in the household’s pocket. The prime minister understands the needs of households, what we are in the international part of high prices, accuracy. The household needs support, the minimum wage family needs support. That’s why we have the fourth consecutive increase in the minimum wage. This means three salaries more in the pocket from 2019.”
“If you calculate that with 14 wages in the private sector, that’s four extra wages in the pocket compared to 2019. From where we were at the bottom, that puts us in the middle of the EU. From the new increase, in addition to the 560,000 workers who are on the minimum wage, also benefit half a million people who receive regular unemployment benefits and two more categories: mothers who receive maternity benefits and vulnerable citizens,” he added.
Referring to the pensioners who are still working, Mrs. Michailidou said that “we are among the 55,000 working pensioners who have applied to the platform within a month. A month ago we had 26,000”, while regarding pending pensions the minister stated that “28 months ago we had 750,000 pending pensions, now we have 22,000 main pensions”.
