In response to social mobilizations, the government is considering an increase in the minimum wage

Workers from both public and private sectors have been protesting for over a month, focusing on purchasing power issues. Following recent demonstrations, major unions are calling for a strike on November 5 to demand better wages, public services, and job security. Inflation has significantly impacted living costs, leading to widespread frustration among workers struggling to make ends meet. Labor Minister Jean-Pierre Farandou has been in discussions with unions and employers to address the crisis, suggesting the possibility of an early increase in the minimum wage and additional discretionary raises from the government.
