PM Groysman intends to raise average salary in Ukraine up to $620 by 2021

Prime Minister of Ukraine Volodymyr Groysman said this when signing a new trilateral framework agreement with trade unions and employers, the Government portal reports.

“Economic growth is one of the most important tasks of the Government. The economic progress will give people a new quality of life by increasing their income. Our Government has already created mechanisms that tripled the minimum wage and doubled the average wage over the past three years. The Government has a clear objective regarding the average salary raise in Ukraine in 2021. In dollar terms, it makes up USD 620, which is an absolutely real figure that will help increase the motivation of Ukrainians to work for their own economy,” Groysman said.

Separately, Groysman focused on the development of the middle class in Ukraine. "For me, it is a matter of principle to have a developed middle class in Ukraine, to which a Ukrainian teacher, doctor, worker should belong. In the next few years, we will exert every effort to perform this task," the prime minister stressed.

It should be noted that in the new agreement, the Government focuses on promoting the domestic producer in the domestic and foreign markets. For the first time, the agreement contains separate commissions of employers directly related to ensuring an adequate level of protection and working conditions, treatment and rehabilitation of employees.
