TL;DR
- The decree for the 2026 minimum wage increase in Colombia will be published between December 29th and 30th.
- For the first time, the 'living minimum wage' concept, rooted in Article 53 of the Constitution and recognized by the ILO, will be incorporated.
- Other factors considered for the increase include inflation (caused and expected), productivity, economic growth, employment rates, and labor's contribution to GDP.
- Workers proposed a 16% increase, while employers suggested 7.21%. The government favors a two-digit increase, potentially over 12%.
- An ILO study suggests the living minimum wage should have been $2,000,000 in 2024 and $2,104,000 in 2025, indicating a significant gap with the current minimum.
