National Minimum Wage Parity
Summary
The report examines the wage parity of domestic workers, farmworkers, and expanded public works programme (EPWP) workers, asserting that there is no compelling evidence to justify keeping their wages lower than the general National Minimum Wage (NMW).
Key insights
- Domestic, farm, and EPWP sectors were characterized as ultra-low wage sectors with very low statutory minimum wages before the National Minimum Wage was introduced.
- The author contends that there is no strong evidence to support the practice of paying domestic workers, farm workers, and EPWP workers less than the overall NMW.
