The Committee notes the observations of the General Confederation of Portuguese Workers (CGTP) communicated with the Government’s report.
Article 3. Criteria for determining the level of the minimum wage. The Committee notes the information provided by the Government that minimum wage has been increased by 55 Euros in 2023, representing a nominal increase of 7.8 per cent, the highest since 2010. The Committee also notes that according to the data provided by the Government, the annual variation in real terms for 2022 is negative (-1.7 per cent). In this respect, the Committee notes that in its observations, the CGTP indicates that since 2022 the minimum wage has failed to adequately address the needs of the workers and their families, particularly in light of the rising inflation and the increased cost of housing. The Committee requests the Government to provide its comments in this regard.
