Statement | Civil Society Organizations Unite in Solidarity to Support Trade Unions’ Proposal for Minimum Wage Increase to USD 250.66 for 2027

18 September 2026

As minimum wage negotiation in Cambodia for garment, textile and travel goods sectors are happening, we the undersigned national and international civil society organizations, hereby express our unequivocal support for the trade unions’ joint letter dated September 14, 2026. We endorse its proposal to establish a minimum wage of USD 250.66 per month in 2027 for workers engaged in Cambodia’s garment, textile, footwear, travel goods, and bag sectors.

This proposal signifies an increase of USD 40.66 over the current minimum wage of USD 210. Based on comprehensive research into workers’ living conditions, this adjustment is a reasonable and necessary measure to safeguard purchasing power, meet fundamental household needs, and progressively bridge the gap between the statutory minimum wage and a living wage.
