Moldova has the lowest wages in Europe
The minimum wages in Moldova are the lowest in Europe. According to Adevarul Moldova, the minimum wages are twice less than in Romania and Bulgaria, 20 times less than in Belgium or the Netherlands and 25 times less than in Luxemburg.
In Moldova, the minimum wage is $92 (1,100 Moldovan Lei). This amount classifies Moldova as a country with the lowest minimum wages in Europe. Belarus and Ukraine are also among the states with the lowest income rates in Europe.
Despite of the administration change in Moldova, the economic difficulties continue to exist. The salary of a nurse varies between $100 and $150 a month while the salary of a teacher goes below $200 per month. A recent graduate who would like to get employed in the governmental system would be paid $67 as an entry-level employee.
The difficult economic situation determines many Moldovans to go abroad for jobs. The most preferred countries are Russia, Italy, Portugal, Spain and Turkey.
