Serbia’s labour costs lowest in Europe, much below the EU average
Gross employee wages, hot meals, daily allowances and holiday allowances, costs of going to and from work, paid days for public holidays, taxes and social contributions paid by the employer to the state, as well as its expenses for professional training and education of workers and other expenses were all taken into account when calculating average labour costs in Serbia.
Labour costs in Serbia were, on average, the lowest among European countries, with workers “trapped in the clutches of poverty, low hourly wages and injustice”, the union added.
Otherwise, Serbia will remain an “Eldorado” for bad employers and import cheap labour with elements of trafficking, and the population will continue to leave the country due to growing poverty, the union also said.
