00:00Two years ago, the government raised the minimum wage from 1,200 RMB to 1,500 RMB.
00:06Okay, two years have passed.
00:07Think about it in this era.
00:09Is the minimum wage of 1,500 RMB enough?
00:13According to the latest study report of the Danish UN Children's Foundation,
00:17the minimum wage of 1,500 RMB is still too low.
00:21There is no way to maintain their daily life expenses with their families.
00:25So this organization suggests that the minimum wage should be set at at least 2,100 RMB.
00:32It's clear that earning more than 2,000 RMB is barely enough to maintain a life.
00:37It can only be said that the speed of raising wages is not enough to catch up with the inflation.
00:41It's hard for the workers to say.
00:45This study collects the data of 755 low-income families living in the city of Kuala Lumpur.
00:52It analyzes the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on low-income families.
00:57The study found that even after the difficult time of the epidemic,
01:01many families' incomes have recovered.
01:03But for low-income families, the problem of poverty still exists.
01:09According to the data provided by the report,
01:1041% of families are still in a state of absolute poverty with a monthly income of less than RMB 2,200.
01:2017% of families are in a state of poverty with a monthly income of less than RMB 1,169.
01:26In other words, although the epidemic is over,
01:29the problem of poverty faced by low-income families has not disappeared with the epidemic.
01:34In this report, it is also said that one-third of families believe that their financial situation has deteriorated.
01:4146% of families said that their financial situation is worse than last year.
01:4638% of families believe that the situation is the same as before.
01:49Only 16% of families said that the financial situation this year is slightly better than before.
01:56This report also pointed out that among an average of 10 families,
01:598 are facing a situation where basic living needs are difficult to meet.
02:05In addition, 80% of families found that their income level was not enough to pay basic expenses,
02:11which is 70% higher than the peak of the epidemic.
02:15In order to cope with the constant increase in expenses,
02:17many families are forced to make extreme choices such as reducing the amount of three meals a day.
02:24Among the families involved in the study,
02:2552% of children do not eat three meals a day,
02:30which is likely to affect their physical development and lead to health problems.
02:34In addition to the health impact,
02:35the inflation of goods has led to the constant rise in living costs,
02:38which has exacerbated the difficulties faced by poor families,
02:41and has now also increased the financial pressure of families.
02:44According to this report,
02:46the majority of families are women or disabled people.
02:52The report also said that about 40% of employees do not have basic social security,
02:56including no EPF and no SOCSO.
02:59Therefore, the Danish UN Children's Fund recommends
03:01that all employees be forced to join the public fund,
03:04which is suspected to protect low-income groups from losing their jobs
03:08or from the impact on their lives when they face a shortage of income.
