Talk:List of countries by minimum wage

Page title

I think this should be called List of minimum wages by Country due to the sort ordering. -- cmh 03:54, 23 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Here is an article on the minimum wage in Nigeria. http://www.redflag.org.uk/news/nigeria/wageleaflet.html

Poor organization and consistency

This page lists minimum wages in so many different increments - by hour, week, month and year. I suggest that there should be a chart with headings: Country, Per Hour, Week, Month, Year, and then %GDP. All it would take is a lot of math. Conversely, if the minimum wages are mandated on a per week, month, or year basis then this should be noted somewhere, but as it is now this page has a chronic lack of consistency.

Irish minimum wage

The information on the Irish minimum wage is accurate; here is the source: http://www.oasis.gov.ie/employment/pay_and_employment/pay_inc_min_wage.html As I don't see links for sources on the main page, I am not going to add them to the page - I will let someone else do that if they feel it is appropriate. I also do not see sources for the rest of the wages, so why was it necessary to remove this and not them? Supersheep 00:21, 2 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Previous comment retracted - I found the sources. My bad. I'm still going to leave the source here for the moment, as I don't know whether style mandates inclusion in the body or at the end. Supersheep 00:26, 2 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Irish minimum wage is €8.30/hr (US$10.80), as of 1 January 2007. It will be going up to €8.65/hr (US$11.25) on 1 July 2007. The maximum amount of hours that may be worked are 48 per week. This means the minimum possible annual wage is, €20,716.80 (€21,590.40 from 1 July 2007). Whoever keeps reverting this, could you please stop it, as you are making it innacurate. Sources for this include: [1] (wage) and [2] (hours). Whoever can convert this to International Dollars [correctly, I understand now it is not the same as US$, inflation is involved?], feel free too. Thank-you. 86.153.166.153 15:24, 28 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

GDP per capita source?

Where is the GDP per capita source included? Is it a publication or just a local list here in WP, such as List of countries by GDP (PPP) per capita or List of countries by GDP (nominal) per capita?

I propose that percentages of GDP should reference GDP (source) data (as such indicated above) somewhere in article intro or in a table cell. Otherwise, combining old and new data gives inconsistent results, which are wrong. GDP source data that is authoritative, newer and not from abovementioned articles should be referenced.

Agree. But I don't have the time to help. --ChoChoPK (球球PK) (talk | contrib) 15:45, 25 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Denmark

There is no law re. minimum wages in Denmark, but the trade unions have agreements covering most sectors of trade & industry. -Feels good that in one of the richest countries in this world, actually the workers themselves makes the regulations re. salaries !

Would have signed this, but my DK keyboard hesn´t got any so-called tildes..... —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 82.35.23.167 (talk) 15:07, 16 March 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Under form submission buttons, there is a "Sign your username:" link. When you click on the four tildes link, you'll then get the corresponding signature tildes. -Mardus 17:40, 16 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Polish minimum wage

There's a mistake in the table. It's written 899 PLN but this was a minimum wage for 2006. For 2007 it's 934 PLN and from January 1st. 2008 it will be 1126 PLN. Please fix it.
