## Linking the Minimum Wage to What Is Needed for a Decent Minimum Living: A Public Policy Study

Scientific arguments and scenarios for linking the government-set minimum wage to the value of the minimum consumption basket established by law.

**The Economic and Social Council presents the study “Linking the Minimum Wage to What Is Needed for a Decent Minimum Living: A Public Policy Study”**

The study, prepared by the temporary specialised committee, set out to provide a scientific, data-based argument – placed in the national and European context – for linking the minimum wage set by the government to the value of the minimum consumption basket established by law, and to develop alternative scenarios for doing so.

*The study and its annexes are available in Romanian.*
