Announcement of gradual increase in the pension of the Minister of Labor
Vedat Bilgin, Minister of Labor and Social Security, made new statements on the minimum wage and pensions.
Bilgin, who is also a candidate for AKP Ankara deputy, said: “One of our latest preparations is 7,500-10 thousand, 10 thousand-15 thousand, 15 thousand-20 thousand and more than 20 thousand people who receive a salary of more than 7,500 lira, we planned it” and replied: “I hope we will put it into practice in July.”
Bilgin affirmed that they prepared the regulation in a comprehensive manner and said: “There are approximately 450 thousand people with very few days of premium. They were paid with the social status understanding, ‘You also have an income.’ When we made the lowest pension of 7,500 lira, his salary became 7,500 lira, but there are also those who have a salary of 6,000-7,000 lira. We will do an evaluation in July that takes them into account with gradually differentiated reflection rates”.
DOES THE MINIMUM WAGE INCLUDE 5 HOMES?
Stating that they made the minimum wage of 8,500 lira, but the cost of living eroded the wages, Bilgin stated that they would make a new regulation on the minimum wage in July.
Bilgin, to the question of whether or not the minimum wage will increase to 5 digits, “Now let me keep quiet about the number. We have some parameters that measure price increases, the general price level, and the real purchasing power of wages, and we evaluate them accordingly.”
On the other hand, when talking about the regulation that will entitle housewives to retirement, Bilgin stated that housewives must apply for SSI in order to retire and that an important part of their premiums will be covered by the state with this application. . (AA)
