Convention (n° 131) sur la fixation des salaires minima, 1970 - Pays-Bas (Ratification: 1973)

The Committee notes the observations of the Netherlands Trade Union Confederation (FNV) received in 2017.

Article 1 of the Convention. Scope of application. Further to its previous comments on differentiated minimum wage rates for young adult workers below 23 years of age, the Committee notes that the Government indicates in its report that in January 2017, the Parliament accepted a wage increase of the minimum remuneration of young adult workers according to which workers from 21 years old will receive the adult minimum wage and workers aged 18, 19 and 20 will get an increase in their specific minimum wage rates. The Committee also notes that the FNV indicates that, while it is content with these developments, it considers that all young workers from the age of 18 should earn the regular minimum wage for adult workers.
