Evoluția salariilor în Republica Moldova. Corespund oare acestea costului vieții?

Abstract

Any state, in promoting economic policies or development strategies, sets as its main goal the "well-being growth" or "improvement of the quality of life of the population". In this context, the main objectives focused on well-being and quality of life of population can also be found in the National Development Strategy "Moldova 2030", such as: "increasing income from sustainable sources and mitigating economic inequalities; increasing people's access to physical infrastructure, public utilities, and housing conditions; improving working conditions and reducing informal employment" (National Development Strategy "Moldova 2030"). The central public authorities are making colossal efforts to achieve these objectives. One solution to these objectives would be aligning the minimum salary with the current well-being standards in the Republic of Moldova through institutional methods. To achieve the objectives outlined in the Strategy, the state needs a "coherent income policy" that would lead to poverty reduction and ensure a sustainable increase in the population's wellbeing without affecting employment levels and economic development. More specifically, a "coherent salary policy", given that the salary constitutes the main form of "productive income" for the population, which, in a way, reflects the functionality of the economy and the labor market.
