Luanda: The Ministry of Public Administration, Labor and Social Security (MAPTSS) launched the "Fair Wage 2025" campaign on Thursday in Luanda, aiming to ensure compliance with the national minimum wage.
According to Angola Press News Agency, the General Labor Inspectorate (IGT) will carry out the initiative, which will involve 200 technicians and run throughout the country until December 18. The campaign's motto is "Complying with the minimum wage is to dignify the worker." It will focus on sectors such as commerce, industry, service provision, education, property security, and cleaning services.
IGT teams will conduct inspections and raise public awareness in all provinces, reinforcing the state's presence and promoting a culture of legality in contractual relations and in accordance with the law. Secretary of State for Labor Pedro Filipe emphasized that the campaign is both educational and disciplinary, aiming to guide companies, workers, and society in complying with the national minimum wage.
Pedro Filipe further stated, "The campaign is not limited to coercive action. It combines inspection, awareness-raising, and labor guidance to promote shared responsibility between employers, workers, and the state." Notably, the new national minimum wage of 100,000 kwanzas came into effect on September 16 of this year, with a provision for micro and start-up companies where the minimum wage is set at 50,000 kwanzas.
