Civil Society (1st – 5th September 2025)
| Without social protection, even short periods of unemployment will worsen living conditions for migrant households, research found, as 30% of them were already poor and in debt. http://bit.ly/47YFhpR; A group of 27 unions and civil society organisations demand that the minimum wage rise to $ 24 in 2026, as current wages cannot cover daily living costs. A report says 73 per cent of workers have fallen into debt just to sustain daily expenditures. Trade unions and civil society groups have called for a minimum wage hike next year for garment, footwear and travel goods (GFT) workers, saying it is essential for the “real cost of survival.” |
