The National Wage Council agreed to raise region-based minimum wage by 6% from July, during its working session on April 12.

Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc has recently signed a decision on the establishment of the National Wage Council.

The Ministry of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs (MoLISA) is collecting ideas on a draft proposal to the Government in which the National Wage Council suggests it not raise the region-based minimum wage in 2021 after considering the socio-economic circumstances.
