As South Africans continue to grapple with a high cost of living, the Department of Employment and Labour recently announced a 5% increase to the National Minimum Wage, raising it to R30.23 per hour effective 1 March 2026. While the government frames this as a necessary shield for vulnerable workers, critics argue that these figures still fall dangerously short of what is actually required to lead a dignified life in today's economy. Is this an effective step toward social justice, or are we simply formalising a 'poverty wage' that fails to cover basic essentials like food, transport, and electricity? To unpack the numbers and look at the human reality behind them, Bongiwe Zwane spoke to Dr Dick Forslund, Senior Economist at the Alternative Information and Development Centre (AIDC)

The Department of Employment and Labour has announced the latest updates to South Africa's National Minimum Wage, affecting domestic workers, farm workers, and other applicable employees. Following recommendations from the National Minimum Wage Council, the rate has been increased by 5%, moving from R28.79 to R30.23 per ordinary hour worked. For a standard 45-hour work week, the increase translates to a weekly wage of R1,264.85. When calculated over a month of 4.3 weeks (or 195 hours), the minimum becomes R5,894.40. For households employing domestic workers on a more typical 160-hour month, the minimum monthly wage rises to R4,834, up from R4,606 in 2025. Households must also note that South Africa's minimum wage laws require employers to pay for at least four hours of work each day, regardless of the actual hours worked. This sets the true daily minimum for domestic workers at approximately R121, an increase from R115 last year. Domestic workers have been fully covered by the National Minimum Wage since 2022. However, data suggests that many workers are still earning below the legal minimum. According to BusinessTech, median salaries reported by Stats SA show that domestic workers earn around R2,350 per month, equivalent to R14.69 per hour for a 160-hour month. This is less than half of the 2026 minimum wage.

Kia ora,Welcome to Wednesday's Economy Watch where we follow the economic events and trends that affect Aotearoa/New Zealand.I'm David Chaston and this is the international edition from Interest.co.nz.And today we lead with news the global economic expansion is losing pace, led by the US.But first up today, the overnight full dairy auction pulled back, and expected, but perhaps not be as much as the derivatives markets suggested. In the end prices were down -1.6% in USD terms and -3.0% in NZD terms on a rising Kiwi dollar. It was a mixed picture across the commodities offered.In the US, the weekly Redbook retail monitor pulled back last week to be 'only' +4.9% higher than the same week a year ago. That is a sharpish dip from the prior week's +6.1% and mid-April's +7.4%. Much of this may be attributable to tariff-tax increases, with sales volumes easing faster now.Meanwhile, April job openings were little-changed but they did come in slightly higher than expected at 7.4 mln. We get the May non-farm payrolls report this Saturday (NZT) and that is expected to show a modest +130,000 rise.Meanwhile April factory orders came in weak, down a sharp -3.7% following the boosted March gain of +3.4%. Between the two months, a slight easing that was setting in since November. From April 2024 these order levels are up +0.6% and that is before accounting for inflation.The US Logistics Managers Index rose, but because inventory costs, warehousing utilisation, and transportation prices all rose at a faster rate, probably not the indicators that help their economy.But the latest RCM/TIPP optimism survey did rise for 'positive' reasons, but only back to levels it was in November after retreating rather sharply from a February high. The tariff-tax staggers may be easing among investors and the surveyors say this indicates US "consumers are closer to optimism".In Canada, Canadians have so heavily altered their travel plans to the US that the duty-free stores at the border seem to be on their knees in what is being called a 'collapse'.In South Korea, the candidate of the more liberal Democratic Party seems to be the winner of Tuesday's snap presidential election. It is a clear break, with voters turning away from the conservative party, who's previous President triggered their constitutional crisis. It's a win for the rule of law. The other main candidate has conceded.In China, they have delivered something of a surprise. The May Caixin China factory PMI unexpectedly dropped to 48.3, down from April's expanding 50.4 and missing market forecasts of a faster expansion (50.6). This was the first contraction in the sector in eight months and the steepest since September 2022. Output shrank alongside a renewed drop in new orders, with foreign sales declining at a faster pace. The official factory PMI came in at 49.5, a small improvement (lesser decline).Eurozone consumer price inflation eased to 1.9% in May, down from 2.2% in April and below market expectations of 2.0%. With inflation under control, that gives the ECB some room to trim interest rates further at their Friday (NZT) review.Globally, the OECD has lowered its economic expansion forecasts as the Trump tariff-taxes bite, and the US an economy they see suffering as much as others from the impact.That is spurring free trade talks among other nations, especially between Australia and the EU.In Australia, their Fair Work Commission's Expert Panel announced the National Minimum Wage and award wages will increase by +3.5% from 1 July 2025, following the 2024-25 Annual Wage Review. That means their National Minimum Wage will increase by +AU$0.85 to AU$24.95 per hour. (NZ$26.90/hr) The New Zealand adult minimum wage is currently $23.50/hr.The UST 10yr yield is now at 4.46%, and unchanged from yesterday.The price of gold will start today at US$3,353/oz, and down -US$22 from yesterday.Oil prices are up +50 USc in the US at just over US$63.50/bbl and the international Brent price is up +US$1 at US$66/bbl.The Kiwi dollar is now at 60.1 USc, a -10 bps dip from yesterday at this time. Against the Aussie we are down -10 bps at just on 92.8 AUc. Against the euro we are unchanged at 52.7 euro cents. That all means our TWI-5 starts today at just on 68.1 and down -10 bps from yesterday.The bitcoin price starts today at US$105,965 and up +1.6% from yesterday. Volatility over the past 24 hours has been modest at just on +/-1.2%.You can get more news affecting the economy in New Zealand from interest.co.nz.Kia ora. I'm David Chaston. And we will do this again tomorrow.

The Democratic Alliance (DA) is opposing a proposed hike in the National Minimum Wage. The party says an increase in the minimum wage could lead to job losses, particularly among small businesses and in rural areas. Michael Bagraim, a Labour lawyer and DA Spokesperson on Employment and Labour, discusses this further with Elvis Presslin

A Clare business owner is urging the Government to exclude the salary of public sector workers when calculating the national minimun wage. It comes as the newly formed SME Alliance, which involves a range of Irish Small and Medium Enterprises and trade union representatives, is appealing for immediate and essential reforms to taxation and output costs. The alliance claims that 48% of the workforce are employed by the public service or multinationals, which it believes does not reflect the reality for small firms. ISME Council Member and Director of St.Tola's Goats Cheese in Ennistymon, Siobhán Ní Ghairbhith says the Government should focus on reducing the cost of living, rather than increasing costs for local businesses.

The Clare-based CEO of Retail Excellence Ireland fears if sub-minimum wage rates are abolished, young people will no longer be able to get part-time jobs. While the current minimum wage in Ireland is €12.70 an hour, the National Minimum Wage acts currently allow for lower rates of pay for those aged under 20. The Low Pay Commission has recommended the abolition of sub-minimum rates - a measure the ESRI says would be "unlikely to create a significant impact on business and their finance". Retail Excellence Ireland CEO and owner of Willow in Ennis, Jean McCabe, insists sub-minimum wage rates enable employers to hire younger staff and show them the ropes.

Lester Kiewit is joined by Mervyn Abrahams, The Programme Coordinator for The Pietermaritzburg Economic Justice & Dignity (PMBEJD) to consider the 8.5% bump in the National Minimum Wage to R27.58 per hour. They argue that it does not cover basic expenses, especially for domestic workers. They believe that a living wage could improve productivity without causing more unemployment.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Clare's SVP President claims a new report demonstrates the need for the Government to bring income supports in line with the rising cost of living. The charity's latest Minimal Essential Standard of Living Report has identified issues around the adequacy of the National Minimum Wage, with the national income shortfall of urban single adults in full-time minimum wage employment now at €130. Food costs also remain a concern, with the report showing the average food basket cost is up 1.5% in the last year, and up 21.2% since 2020. President of the Clare branch of Saint Vincent De Paul Denis Carty has been telling Clare FM's Seán Lyons that the findings are much-needed evidence that the minimum wage and welfare rates aren't sufficient in this economic climate.

From April, 2.7 million workers will get one of the biggest pay rises in UK history as the National Living Wage rises to £11.44 an hour. But will they feel better off?It's 25 years since the National Minimum Wage was introduced. During that time it's credited with putting billions of extra pounds in the pockets of low-paid workers. But, despite that, according to the Joseph Rowntree Foundation, two thirds of households living in poverty have at least one adult in work. And, according to the Institute for Fiscal studies, far from cutting the annual benefits bill, the cost of benefits paid to working families has ballooned since 1999 to about 50 billion pounds a year. So what's behind this low pay puzzle? And what can employers, governments and workers do to ensure that work pays?

People are typically one of two extremes on this topic, but let's break down the stats and figure out if raising the national minimum wage to $15 really is the best way to solve America's poverty. In this episode we analyze this proposal with Financial Coach & Corporate Professional Hersh Chopra and come to the conclusion that... oh wait, you'll have to listen to figure that one out. Check out Hersh Chopra below: Hersh Chopra is a certified financial coach who helps college graduates and young working professionals overcome the ‘American Dream' lifestyle that begins and ends with debt. He helps empower them to start their journey to financial freedom through education, mindset transformation, and valuable financial tips and tools needed to become debt free and achieve financial security. Hersh, a son of immigrants, began to learn the value of money at a young age as he watched his parents give up everything they had in India for a brand-new start in the United States to provide a better life to their family. He teaches his clients to build wealth and spread kindness by way of paying it forward, so his greatest feeling of accomplishment comes from his clients teaching others what they learned from him.
