Vietnam's minimum wage will go up 6 percent starting July 1, two years after remaining unchanged.

 

The increase was announced in a government's decree Sunday, marking the first time since 2009 that the minimum wage increase takes effect in the middle of the year instead of the beginning of the year as has happened in previous years.

 

The increase in pay has been estimated at VND180,000-260,000 per month per worker, depending on four salary regions specified by the government.
