Labor and Social Security Minister Niki Kerameus in an interview with SKAI Radio, discussed the scientific committee’s proposal for the incorporation of the European directive on adequate minimum wages, ANA reports.

Kerameus explained that the report suggests that from 2028 onwards, the minimum wage should be calculated according to a mathematical formula considering inflation and the productivity of the country’s economy. “Our goal is to protect purchasing power and support lower-income groups,” she noted, clarifying that there are also proposals concerning public sector wages to align them with those in the private sector.

Kerameus also addressed the critical issue of repatriating Greek workers who left during the economic crisis. She highlighted two key initiatives: first, investing in reskilling and upskilling, and second, promoting the return of Greek scientists from abroad through upcoming initiatives in Amsterdam and Düsseldorf aimed at connecting workers with businesses.

Additionally, Kerameus mentioned the Rebrain Greece platform, which has attracted over 2,000 registered workers and businesses.
