G. Bratakos: The increase of the minimum wage is a key government intervention

“The increase of the minimum wage is a key government intervention”, said the president of EVEA Giannis Bratakos, after the announcement of the prime minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis for the increase of the minimum wage.

Mr Bratakos made the following statement: “Raising the minimum wage is a key government intervention to shield households. Increasing workers’ incomes will not only reduce their financial insecurity, but also boost their purchasing power. The long-term and sustainable development, which is a constant request of the chamber community, will benefit from the implementation of additional measures, which will also protect the business world against the negative economic conditions arising from unprecedented circumstances.

The reduction in employer contributions, already announced by the Prime Minister, will not only offset the increase in the minimum wage, but will also lead to mutual economic benefits, both for employees and for companies.

In addition, the rational management of subsidy criteria for new hires, depending on the industry and the employer’s seat, can act as an incentive for new hires, reducing unemployment and the phenomenon of multiple job vacancies and suspending any reservations. of the highest employer costs. Society and the economy must continue to move symmetrically and in balance. Only in this way will the common goal of sustainable and socially just development be achieved. ”
