Pham Minh Huan, Deputy Minister of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs and Chairman of the National Wage Council, speaks with Vietnam Plus about workers' salaries this year.

Nearly 400 FDI companies in the southern province of Dong Nai have increased their minimum monthly wages by about 500,000 VND (22.3 USD) for each worker on average.

Regional minimum wages will be raised by an average 12.4 percent on January 1, 2016 as approved by the Government recently, two months after the plan was proposed by the National Salary Council.
