After the 4th meeting of the Minimum Wage Determination Commission held for the 2025 minimum wage increase, Minister of Labor and Social Security Vedat Işıkhan announced that the new minimum wage valid for 2025 will be 22,104 lira.

"WE NEED TO LEARN MODESTY"

While the increase rate is considered insufficient by many, the most different comment came from Prof. Dr. Oytun Erbaş. Speaking on TV100 with Buket Aydın, Erbaş stated regarding the minimum wage increase, "I want to have a three hundred square meter house, I want this, I want to eat that, I want to do this. There is no end to it. Today, both beans and meat are protein. Therefore, you need to learn modesty. There is no end to it."

"A POOR LIFE IS THE HEALTHIEST LIFE"

Continuing his words, Erbaş said, "Look, even if the minimum wage is fifty, people will still spend fifty," and continued: "If you give a hundred, they will spend a hundred. There is no end to it. I always say, a poor life is the healthiest life. So they shouldn't be upset about the minimum wage; they should organize their lives according to the minimum wage. Ultimately, there is a dynamic within the country itself. You also need to adapt within this dynamic. I don't have a car... What would happen if I bought a hundred pairs of shoes? In the end, at the end of the day, two lahmacuns are eaten. I don't eat the third one."
