Proposals to increase the 2021 minimum wage for Colombia are already on the table.

Some members of the business union suggested an increase of 2%, which is equivalent to $ 17,556 Colombian pesos. If this proposal were executed, next year the value of the minimum wage would be around 895,363 pesos and if the estimated transportation subsidy (104,911 pesos) is added, the amount would be 1,000,547 pesos.

That amount is far from meeting the demand of the unions, as they demand an increase of 13%, that is, a salary of one million pesos plus a transportation subsidy of 120,000 pesos.
