Minimum Wage Issues

Minimum Wage Issues

 Minimum Wage Issues is one of problems in our society. I was wondering about the issues. I realized that minimum wage issues have advantages and disadvantages in the last presentation. However, I have some different views on the issues.

 First, I thought about the issues between employers and employees. As korea is becoming an aging society, senior citizens want to have their job. However, there are not enough jobs, finally they are competing for limited jobs. In my case, I worked part time jobs and my friends are working part-time for their school expenses. It is to difficult to have a part time job. Because other many students want to work and earn some money. Furthermore, awful presidents give their employees lower wage than the minimum wage. There are not enough part time jobs. So, they can not report to the authorities if they have lower wage than the minimum wage. I think it is too bad accident. The korean government should inquire into the actual state of things and then correct the fault.

 Second, Many koreans think it is difficult to support a family on the minimum wage. The minimum wage is 4320 won per hour. If you work part time jobs, you can get about 500,000 won per month. I think that it is a nominal amount of money as school expenses and living expenses. I think minimum wage will have to rise. The rate of minimum wage should be higher than the rate of inflation.

 Finally, I think the korean government should put top priority on job creation and try to protect worker's minimum wage. Employer should pay enough wages to their employees. On the other hand, employees should report to the authorities if they suffer wrongs. We must work together, We can do it! ^^
