Cambodia sets $212 garment minimum wage for 2027
Original: Cambodia: Garment workers to receive US$212 in 2027 minimum wage as independent union leaders disappointed with final decision to increase US$2
Cambodia has set the 2027 minimum wage for garment workers at US$212 per month, after a final decision to raise it by just US$2. Independent union leaders have expressed disappointment, arguing the increase falls short of workers' needs amid rising living costs. The wage-setting process typically involves government, factory owners and union representatives.
Why now: Union leaders are publicly criticising the small wage increase, drawing attention to ongoing labour rights concerns in Cambodia's garment sector.
