Jordan Daily – The Jordan Strategy Forum (JSF) has recommended an evidence-based approach to raising the minimum wage in 2025, balancing workers’ needs and economic considerations, according to a policy paper released recently.
The forum highlighted that Jordan’s minimum wage has steadily increased over the past decade, from 150 dinars in 2010 to 260 dinars in 2021, reflecting an increase in real wages. The JSF estimates that a potential minimum wage hike for 2025 could fall between 288 and 300 dinars per month, accounting for inflation and productivity growth.
The forum further emphasized the importance of aligning labor policies with Jordan’s Economic Modernization Vision ,recommending adjustments to the minimum wage over time to protect workers’ purchasing power and promote wage equality.
