Minimum Wage Hike Demanded: HRCP Sounds Alarm on Living Wages

The Human Rights Commission of Pakistan (HRCP) and other speakers forcefully advocated for a significant increase in the national minimum wage during a Monday event. The event featured a screening of the documentary, ‘The Right to a Living Wage’.

Speakers highlighted the stark disparity between the current minimum wage and the actual cost of living for a vast segment of the Indian population. This, they argued, fuels widespread economic hardship and social inequality.

The documentary itself showcased poignant accounts of individuals struggling to meet basic needs despite working full-time at minimum wage. This underscored the urgency of the HRCP’s demand.

The HRCP’s call for a substantial minimum wage hike resonates deeply with the ongoing concerns about economic disparity and the rising cost of living across India. The impact of this issue on the nation’s social fabric and economic stability cannot be overstated. The government’s response to this pressing demand will be closely watched by millions.
