Prime Minister Hun Sen has called on all concerned parties and
institutions to conduct proper and thorough study to set a minimum wage in the
textile, garment and footwear sector.
In his recent message welcoming the 128th International Labor Day (May
01), the prime minister urged the concerned government ministries and
departments, the associations of employers and employees, trade unions,
relevant non-governmental and international organizations to make efforts in
conducting the study by considering the comprehensive economic, legal and
social aspects in developing technical methods for setting minimum wage in the
textile, garment and footwear sector.
As of December 2013, in the garment and textile and footwear sector,
there were increases of up to 960 factories that employed about 620,000 workers
with a total monthly wage of US$70 million, amounting to approximately US$870
million in a year. The value of total exports increases every year since 2008,
from nearly US$2.8 billion to US$4.6 billion in 2013.
