Abstract

Currently, Vietnam implements wage policy making through the important tool of minimum wage. However, the reality shows that the use of the minimum wage to pay employees is still inadequate and far from reality. Instead of using the minimum wage, a number of developed countries have recently used a new concept in wage policy making, which is “living wage” with high efficiency. In line with the trend of the world, the living wage needs to be recognized and researched and applied in practice in Vietnam to bring about more positive effects, ensuring the life of employees and the whole family. sustainable development of enterprises.
