Antonio Tajani links economic growth to workers' rights

Antonio Tajani, the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, addressed the Chamber of Deputies during an event titled ‘Fair Wage, Real Work’ organized by the Forza Italia Labor Department.

Tajani argued that economic growth and the improvement of workers' rights are interdependent, stating that increased economic prosperity should lead to enhanced rights for employees. Regarding the debate on a minimum wage, he characterized the concept as reductive, expressing a preference for a ‘fair wage’ system that recognizes an individual's specific role within a company.

Additionally, Tajani emphasized the necessity of investing in education, research, and training to ensure a competent workforce. He also identified achieving pay parity between men and women as a primary objective for his administration.
