?:abstract
  • The main purpose of this exercise consisted in providing a recommendation for a sound institutional process of minimum wage setting in Romania. The design of a transparent mechanism for minimum wage setting based on objective criteria, in order to set the grounds for evidence based dialog and decision making is a matter of extreme importance to the wage policy in Romania due to the number of employees who are affected, on one hand, and to the economic and social effects of this form of state intervention on the labour market, on the other. As a country particularity, in Romania the wage distribution is highly asymmetrical at the bottom, with more than one quarter of the employees (1.3 million persons) being paid at the minimum wage level. The general conclusions drawn from the analysis of best practices indicated that there is no evidence in favour of a minimum wage setting regime that could work best in a country. This is because minimum wage policies highly depend on the context. Country specific legal regimes, as well as the socio-economic context are of extreme importance when setting the minimum wage level. However, following other countries’ practices, the proposed mechanism for Romania has two main characteristic features: it is documented and transparent, both providing for sound social dialog and socio-economic development. Full consultation of the government with the social partners (i.e. workers’ and employers’ organizations) in the process of minimum wage fixing based on scientific impact assessment grounds is considered to be an indispensable requirement for an effective mechanism implementation.
