A little more than one in four workers, or 26%, are barely making ends meet, reports Asia News, citing data from the Vietnam General Confederation of Labour. Data showed that the minimum monthly expenditure of an average worker is approximately USD 280 against a basic salary of USD 200. The Confederation polled workers and found that 17%, say they had “more than enough” money, 43% said they had “just enough”, 26% answered “barely getting by”, while 12% of respondents said their income is not enough to support their family and they are forced to work overtime or do extra work just make ends meet. Compared to last year, the number of workers who claimed to earn “more than enough” increased by 1.3% while the figure for those who had “just enough” dropped by 7.6%, while the figure for those who answered “barely getting by” rose by 8.5%. The Confederation is currently asking the government to boost the current minimum wage by 8% next year.
