Very strongly agree

Yes, and adjust it every year according to inflation

Adjusting the minimum wage annually according to inflation aligns closely with the PES's goals of ensuring that wages keep pace with the cost of living, protecting workers' purchasing power, and promoting economic fairness.

Strongly agree

Yes, and make it a living wage

Making the minimum wage a living wage is a policy that resonates with the PES's objectives of ensuring economic justice, reducing poverty, and improving the quality of life for all citizens. This approach is central to their advocacy for social and economic policies that support the most vulnerable.

Agree

Yes

The Party of European Socialists (PES) generally supports policies aimed at reducing income inequality and improving workers' rights, which aligns with the idea of raising the national minimum wage. However, their agreement might not be absolute, as they may consider the economic context and the potential impact on small businesses.

Slightly disagree

Regardless, minimum wage standards should be adjusted by age group

Although the PES supports differentiated policies to cater to diverse needs within the population, adjusting minimum wage standards strictly by age group might not align perfectly with their principles of universal workers' rights and equality. They might support age differentiation in some contexts but would likely advocate for comprehensive solutions that benefit all workers.

Disagree

No, this will only cause prices to increase in a never ending cycle

While the PES is likely to be aware of the argument that raising the minimum wage could lead to price increases, their policy focus on social equity and supporting the working class suggests they would prioritize wage increases over concerns about potential inflationary effects, seeking other measures to control inflation.

Strongly disagree

No

The PES's political platform typically emphasizes social justice and economic policies that support lower and middle-income populations, making it unlikely they would oppose raising the national minimum wage without significant reasons related to economic stability or job market concerns.

Strongly disagree

No, most minimum wage jobs are meant to develop experience, not support a family

The PES typically argues that all jobs should provide a living wage and that minimum wage jobs should not be exempt from enabling individuals to support themselves or a family. This view is part of their broader agenda to combat poverty and social exclusion.

Very strongly disagree

No, and eliminate all wage standards

Eliminating all wage standards would be contrary to the PES's core principles of protecting workers' rights and ensuring fair wages. Such a position would starkly oppose their historical advocacy for stronger social safety nets and labor protections.
