\u201cDuring its last public hearing held at Gobabis on 27 May 2021, individuals and representative trade unions highlighted the challenges faced by workers in emerging industries in the agricultural sector such as charcoal, non-compliance with existing wage agreements, and the difficulty in balancing the setting of a minimum wage in the context of high employment rates and low economic growth,\u201d Dr. Kudumo said.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

He further stated that in addition to the literature review, the Commission has already engaged with various stakeholders and experts such as the office of the Ombudsman, Namibia Statistics Agency, the National Planning Commission, the Labour Resource and Research Institute, the Ministry of Gender Equality, poverty eradication and social welfare and the Social Security Commission. Etc.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n
