Abstract

It is undeniable that in Europe, differences among minimum interprofessional wages are notable: while it surpasses the monthly amount of 2,200€ in Luxembourg, in Bulgary this quantity does not exceed 400€. Furthermore, some others can be found, such as Italy and Sweden, where there is not even an institutionally established minimum threshold for wages while considered by many, necessary to guarantee better labor conditions. These contrasts present a remarkable impact on the economy and the European labor market. The current research strives to analyze the influence of an interprofessional minimum salary on a country’s firm’s profits, comparing states with and without said standard. Utilizing both a quantitative and qualitative focus. Financial data coming from companies which diverge in industry and geographic region will be examined. The objective is to determine whether the implementation of said wages negatively affects the rentability of corporations, or if, contrary to this hypothesis, they can coexist with growing net profits. Throughout this paper, the causes for which a firm's gains don’t exclusively depend on the presence or absence of these minimum salaries, but also on a combination of social, economic, and political factors will be made clear.
