Beschreibungen/Notizen

• Against the background of a very diverse legal framework regulating minimum wages in Europe, the Commission has declared since 2019 its willingness to adopt a legal measure to ensure that every worker in the European Union has access to an adequate minimum wage. The commitment, based on the 2017 European Pillar of Social Rights, became reality in October 2022, with the enactment of Directive 2022/2041 on adequate minimum wages. This article examines the main aspects of the Directive, with a particular focus on its ability to influence Member States’ policies and to stimulate collective bargaining on wage setting.
