Proposals for solutions regarding the minimum wage: Social supports and regional differences on the table.

Prof. Dr. Ferhat Pehlivanoğlu, who was a guest on Haberler.com, made important evaluations regarding the hourly and regional applicability of the minimum wage, its effects on social justice, and the cost of living.

"HOURLY WAGE IS A PRACTICAL SOLUTION FOR PART-TIME WORKERS"

Prof. Dr. Pehlivanoğlu stated that the implementation of hourly wages offers a more flexible and practical solution, especially for part-time workers. However, he expressed that this system could complicate the issue of unregistered employment. He also emphasized that the living conditions of all workers need to be improved.

"REGIONAL MINIMUM WAGE MAY CREATE A PERCEPTION OF SOCIAL INJUSTICE"

Addressing the issue of regional minimum wage, Pehlivanoğlu mentioned that the cost of living varies significantly between regions. He pointed out that there are advantages and disadvantages to regional minimum wage, stating that this situation could increase the perception of social injustice and lead to issues of job value among workers.

"SUPPORTS SHOULD BE PROVIDED FOR MINIMUM WAGE EARNERS"

Prof. Dr. Pehlivanoğlu emphasized that food, transportation, and housing supports could be provided for minimum wage earners. He also noted that the development of workers could be supported through free training programs. Referring to the possible interest rate decisions of the Central Bank, Pehlivanoğlu warned that if interest rates decrease, there could be an increase in foreign exchange rates.
