The Parliament of Curaçao unanimously approved a motion on Thursday endorsing the legislative proposal “National Ordinance on Youth Minimum Wage 2025”, effectively eliminating wage disparities between young adult workers and older employees.
The motion, introduced by the MAN-PIN faction, aims to abolish the current difference in minimum wage between workers aged 18 to 20 and those aged 21 and older. At present, the minimum wage for 18-, 19-, and 20-year-olds is lower than that of workers aged 21 and above. With the adoption of this motion, all adults aged 18 and up will now receive the same minimum wage, marking a significant step toward wage equality.
