We strive for popizzot. Average salary continues to grow in Belarus

The average salary in Belarus rose to 844.4 rubles in August, Belstat reports. Recall that it was 827.5 rubles.

Recall that in April of this year, the president said that a salary of 1,000 rubles is the minimum that the state should help people earn. Achieving the average salary in Belarus in 2017 in the amount of 1,000 rubles, as required by ALEXANDER LUKASHENKO , is real, said the Minister of Labor and Social Protection Irina Kostevich .

Earlier, the Belarusian government calculated the trajectory of wage increases in Belarus, hoping to fulfill the task of the country's president to increase the average wage to 1,000 Belarusian rubles by the end of the year.

Prime Minister Andrey Kobyakov informed that in order to achieve a salary of 1,000 rubles by the end of the year, the Ministry of Labor and those interested have developed a schedule.

In August, the president said that the average salary in the country could rise to 1,500 rubles by 2019.

The nominal accrued average monthly salary includes income tax and the mandatory insurance contribution of the employee. Employers' contributions to employees' social insurance are not included in the average wage. The average earnings are determined by Belstat specialists by dividing the salary fund accrued to employees of the organization, including income tax and the mandatory insurance contribution of the employee, for the reporting period by the number of employees of the organization and by the number of months in the period.
