The government will enhance minimum wages and make it mandatory across the country to boost demand of goods and services for pushing economic growth and creating jobs. This was said by Labour Secretary Shankar Aggarwal today while addressing at a conference organised by CII in New Delhi. Mr Aggarwal said, the government will create a law to give certain minimum wages across the country in all trades and not only in scheduled employments. He said for creating jobs there is need to create demand for goods and services. He added, it will happen only when there is money in the pocket of buyers. Trade unions have been demanding for a minimum wage of Rs 15,000 per month across the board which should be applicable in the entire country. Labour Ministry is now mulling an amendment to Minimum Wage Act to fix a mandatory minimum level of wages applicable across the country for all categories of workers, which will be aligned with inflation and sufficiency to create demand for goods and services.
