Starting next year, it is proposed to abandon the calculation of the subsistence minimum as the statistical value of the consumption basket and establish it as a part (44.2%) of the average per capita income.
As the newspaper notes, the minimum wage until 2026 is expected to be set at 42% of the median salary.
Such a transition to a global standard for calculating PM, the newspaper specifies, could cost 128.5 billion rubles in expenses in 2021 and 439 billion rubles in 2025.
Earlier, the head of the IAC "Alpari" Alexander Razuvaev, in an interview with Nation News, commented on the message that Russia plans to discuss the possibility of consolidating the concept of the minimum hourly wage rate in legislation.
