Taipei, Sept. 8 (CNA) Taiwan's proposed wage hike of 4.05 percent in the minimum monthly wage reflects price rises of daily necessities -- the most significant in recent years -- and is expected to benefit 1.79 million workers, the Ministry of Labor (MOL) said on Friday. If approved by the Cabinet, the monthly minimum wage will increase from NT$26,400 (US$825) to NT$27,470, according to the MOL. That will benefit 1.79 million workers, including about 341,800 migrant workers, but not migrant caregivers or domestic helpers, whose minimum wage is not covered by Taiwan's Labor Standards Act.
