What the Wage Trend Shows

Türkiye's influential national wage floor, currency volatility, and large informal sector complicate nominal comparisons. Legal minimum changes do not establish coverage for all informal workers.

Constant-price PPP data are especially useful where real purchasing power has been volatile. Large nominal lira increases should not be presented as evidence of real improvement.
