After the adoption of the bill on pension reform, the Ukrainian Cabinet of Ministers proposes to raise the minimum wage to UAH 3,764 (approximately US $145), Minister of Social Policy Andriy Reva said during a Government Q&A in the Verkhovna Rada on Friday.
"We propose to fix the situation - to carry out a modernization on a single salary principle, that is, to stop playing with a coefficient and return to a single principle – an increase of wages,” Reva said.
