Download PDF:
Summary:
For countries which have a minimum wage, the minimum wage fixing system differs according to objectives and criteria, machinery and procedures, coverage, and subsequent adjustment as well as the operation and enforcement of rules established. In many countries, minimum wages are set by a tripartite committee or commission comprised of representatives from workers, employers, and the government, while in others they are set by executive decree or legislative actions.
