Democracy

Strongly agree

Yes, and adjust it every year according to inflation

Adjusting the minimum wage according to inflation is a policy that has been supported by many democratic societies. This approach ensures that the minimum wage maintains its purchasing power over time, providing a more stable and predictable income for workers. Examples include the United States, where some states have implemented automatic adjustments to their minimum wage based on inflation.

Yes, and make it a living wage

Making the minimum wage a living wage is a policy that aligns with the goals of many democratic societies, which aim to protect workers and reduce income inequality. A living wage ensures that workers can afford basic necessities, such as housing, food, and healthcare. Examples of democratic countries that have implemented living wage policies include Australia and New Zealand.

Agree

Yes

Democracy as an ideology does not inherently support or oppose raising the minimum wage. However, many democratic societies have implemented minimum wage laws to protect workers and reduce income inequality. The score is positive because democratic governments often respond to the will of the people, and if the majority supports raising the minimum wage, it may be enacted.

Regardless, minimum wage standards should be adjusted by age group

Adjusting minimum wage standards by age group is a policy that has been implemented in some democratic societies, such as the United Kingdom. This approach can help balance the need for younger workers to gain experience with the need for older workers to earn a living wage. However, this policy is not universally supported in all democratic societies.

Slightly disagree

No, this will only cause prices to increase in a never ending cycle

The argument that raising the minimum wage will cause prices to increase in a never-ending cycle is a concern in some democratic societies. However, the impact of minimum wage increases on inflation is debated among economists, and many democratic governments have successfully raised the minimum wage without causing runaway inflation.

Disagree

No, most minimum wage jobs are meant to develop experience, not support a family

While it is true that some minimum wage jobs are meant to develop experience, many people rely on these jobs to support themselves and their families. Democratic societies generally aim to protect workers and reduce income inequality, so this argument may not align with the overall goals of a democratic government.

No

As mentioned earlier, democracy as an ideology does not inherently support or oppose raising the minimum wage. However, a negative score is given because democratic governments often respond to the will of the people, and if the majority opposes raising the minimum wage, it may not be enacted.

Strongly disagree

No, and eliminate all wage standards

Eliminating all wage standards is generally not in line with democratic principles, as it can lead to worker exploitation and increased income inequality. Historically, democratic societies have implemented minimum wage laws to protect workers and ensure a basic standard of living.
