The long-promised study on a statutory minimum wage for all cleaning and security staff in Macau has yet to commence.
This is almost 16 months after the Standing Committee for the Coordination of Social Affairs agreed to commission the research as part of its on-going discussions on the establishment of a statutory minimum wage for Macau.
The research has yet to begin and the government is not sure when it will, English-language newspaper Business Daily reports.
The delay continues, four months after Secretary for Economy and Finance Francis Tam Pak Yuen first gave the green light to the University of Macau to conduct the study.
At present the city only has a minimum wage for employees of cleaning and security companies contracted by the government.
The study is set to take at least one year.
