Summary
The minimum wage is supposed to increase every year armenia whatsapp data but in 2015 it was reduced in Germany and Ireland. It increased by 14% in Romania, 11% in Latvia, 11% in Lithuania, 11% in the UK, and 10% in Bulgaria. The UK was also added due to the influence of exchange rates.
In terms of minimum monthly income, Luxembourg was at the top with 1,923 euros, and Bulgaria was 194 euros. Of the 28 EU countries, 22 countries have minimum wages set by the government. As can be seen from the distribution chart above, wages are very high and stable in Northern Europe, developed EU countries, and Switzerland.
Iceland suffered a financial collapse in 2008, but by 2015 wages had recovered to a level somewhat similar to that of Northern Europe. However, Eastern European countries are at less than 50% of the level of developed countries, with Bulgaria at the bottom at 1.13 euros. As such, it cannot be denied that there is still a large disparity within the EU countries. By the way, the national average minimum wage in Japan in 2015 is 798 yen, or about 6.93 euros. (As of November 7, 2016: 1 euro = 115 yen)
