Objectives of the increase in the minimum wage by 2025 in the face of inflationary levels and external pressures
Vol. 6 No. 2 (2024)The new government administration in Mexico brings with it its own proposals; but also, commitments to maintain the ideology of social policies, as well as agreements with the business sector and society itself. In this sense, in light of the speculation about the 12% increase in the minimum wage for 2025, which is circulating in some media, we ask ourselves: why would the increase for 2025 have to be less than the average increase (20%) that was determined in the previous administration? There are several positions, one of them is: to consider inflationary levels within this increase in wages; another, an external commitment to caring for the environment, that is, to avoid a possible overproduction due to the fact of recovering the increase in wages. And a last one, derived from this salary increase, companies could choose to cut staff and increase informality, and it would be necessary to investigate whether or not informal employment has an impact on the economy. These stories are what RISAD shares with you, dear readers, in this August-December 2024 issue.

Percepciones, mano de obra calificada y salarios mínimos, implicaciones para un mercado laboral equitativo
Vol. 6 No. 1 (2024)The worker's perception of the manager's leadership is crucial for their commitment and loyalty. This would imply a healthy work environment, greater work productivity and positioning of the company, which can also be achieved with the worker's academic preparation. However, if there are no conditions for said qualified worker, he or she would choose to migrate looking for better working conditions and therefore, undermine an optimal and equitable labor market. Among other actions, to avoid a bad perception and skilled migration, a labor policy can be created through salary increases. This story is what RISAD presents to its readers in this first issue of 2024.
