Episode 84 : Is increasing minimum wages the solution for the living cost crisis in Europe?

This week, the Estonian Trade Union Confederation and the Estonian Employers’ Confederation sat down for the first time to discuss next year’s minimum wage.

Meanwhile, starting on October 1st, Romania’s minimum wage will rise by 10%.

So, as the increase of minimum wage becomes a hot topic across Europe, we take a closer look at the current reality of minimum wages and explore whether increasing the minimum wage could truly help low-income workers make ends meet?
