هذا هو مجموعة دعنا نحن نضع إلى اليوم now all of us have a job الحمد لله so we all work whether you know you're getting paid minimum or high wage you know for those watching L&T right now you have to work you know to afford the means of watching the show you know it takes loyalty to buy you know a 60 inch screen just to see Ahmed Ali on it now obviously we work to get that money to buy whatever necessities we need and you know just to live life comfortably some of us get paid a pretty good amount while others not so much now each country has its own laws when it comes to wages some countries have a very high minimum wage while others have a very low minimum wage and we'll talk about how it's actually beneficial to have a low minimum wage and a high minimum wage at the same time those who say that high minimum wage is more beneficial and claim that the minimum wage in their country is if or sorry if the minimum wage in their country is too low then workers can't live anymore because it demands a higher wage for them to actually live in that specific country and it also creates more jobs and grows the economy now on the other hand we see those who are in favor of low minimum wage basically the business owners and people who are the employers instead of the employees they claim that many businesses can't afford to pay the workers more than the minimum wage right now now if it happens that they have to pay they'll be forced to close lay off workers or reduce hiring and that increase in minimum wage have been shown to make more difficult low-risk workers with little or no work experience to find jobs or becoming upwardly mobile so that what leads us to tonight's question tonight's question we're trying to find out for those who work at low minimum wage companies the question for tonight is should the minimum wage be increased that's your question for tonight so get your phones ready to dial the WhatsApp number that will be shown below right after the short break so plus 964774 0671836 if you do miss the last few numbers then don't worry Insha'Allah we'll have the phone number pop up at the bottom after this very short break I'm just getting my phone ready to call in hashtag and see if the first caller you know I'm going to call myself and answer the question for tonight but the question for tonight as I mentioned will pop up in a few seconds right at the bottom should minimum wage be increased if you think it should which I believe 100% people say it should others do believe business owners and some employees also are in favor of minimum wage we'll get to talk about why but rising global inequality has made minimum wage a hot topic for many countries around the world nowadays now as government's attempt to ensure low paid workers have the chance to escape relative poverty now before we begin talking about minimum wage let's see how the world stands in terms of minimum wage now this chart that we'll show you in a bit is from 2013 but we can still get the idea for most countries so let's pop that up for a second now the figures have been adjusted to their post tax rate and purchasing power parity in US dollars now we see that Australia has the most generous minimum wage with workers earning a minimum wage of $9.54 an hour now next there's Luxembourg and you get $9.24 after tax it's not before tax it's after tax so the top three is completed by Belgium where just above $8.50 so as we can see right there minimum wage after tax the highest country out there is Australia and for those who think that their jobs is not paying them enough think about migrating to Australia maybe you can get a better minimum wage but at the same time there comes something different with higher minimum wage as we get to talk about it right now now if you're wondering why many European countries aren't on that list well it's because they have high minimum wages paid to their workers now we all know that there are pros and cons to every topic well mainly most 90% of topics that's why tonight we want to talk about the pros and cons of minimum wage now start with the pros now number one number one it increases economic activity and spur job growth now what do we mean by that when the minimum wage is increased from $7.25 an hour according to the U.S. Economic Policy Institute said that minimum wage if it was increased from $7.25 an hour to $10.10 an hour it would inject $22.1 billion of net into the economy and create 85,000 jobs over a three-year phase in period so what it means is that more money more jobs and if you're wondering why such a huge capital 21.1 well tax return is a lot when you have a lot of workers now number two pro number two it reduces poverty now according to a 2014 congregational budget office report official report it says that increasing the minimum wage to $9 would lift 300,000 people out of poverty and if it was to increase to $10 and $0.10 it would lift 900,000 people out of poverty those numbers are huge huge numbers now pro number three is that it reduces government welfare spending now this is obvious for those who do live in the west they get to know a little bit about the welfare system that goes on there you know the food stamps and so on and so forth I guess I was telling you that but you know they get to have an idea for those who get a higher and if the minimum wage was increased then not as many people would rely on government funding now it's a good thing it's a perfect thing but yet again if the government is corrupt where does that money all go into it's going to the pockets of the politicians now another pro is that it reduces income inequality and absolutely true a lot of people sometimes they're in their jobs trying so hard you know to get that promotion you know trying so hard to get that maybe increase in the salary but yet it goes to someone as Iraqis call him Lugi someone that you know tries you know like the teachers pet but this guy is like a boss pet where you know he gets close to the boss the promotion goes to someone else and not this person the increase in the salary it goes to someone else not worthy of the position and not someone else who actually tried so hard to be in that position sometimes it is that case where people envy another person and say why does that person have such a high wage want to have such a a low wage another one another one is another pro is the fifth pro is increases worker productivity and reduces employee turnover now this is actually very true because if you see someone with a high minimum wage say of like ten dollars and ten cents compared to seven dollars twenty five cents then as the minimum wage rises and where it becomes more attractive money wise you see more people turning up to work no absences so to speak labor turnover will start to decline if you get good money then why would you just you know not go to work you try to go to work every day on time put in as much effort as you can just to get that extreme especially if you're working extremely hard you're trying to get your efforts paid for and especially on time now enough with the pros yes there are pros to the increase of minimum wage but let's see if there are cons at the same time con number one as and do you know try to sink in what I'm about to say because majority of the cons what you just get you'll decide number one it forces to forces businesses to lay off employees and raise unemployment rate now according to a survey of one thousand two hundred and thirteen businesses and human resource professionals 38% of employers who currently pay minimum wage said that they would lay off some workers if the minimum wage was rate to ten dollars and ten cents so business number one so businesses are affected by the increase of minimum wage number two increases poverty and this is so true the con of minimum wage when you see the poverty in the world right now any country that has poverty look at the minimum wage in that country and you'll see it if minimum wage is so little and the products they need to buy is so expensive you know if you need to get a baby now in the west you get at least within the first year you need ten thousand dollars from doctors to close to food to healthcare so on and so forth you need a lot of money just to get the baby so imagine if you're working in a minimum wage job how are you going to make that money just to save up for your child or if you're not married you know have fun trying to get married when you're on minimum wage so yes it does increase poverty number three con number three is it hurts businesses and forces companies to close 60% of small business owners said that minimum wage well and I quote hurt most small business owners according to a 2013 Gallup poll now if we were just to go through them and the last one it was it would disadvantage low skilled workers now all of them except for the one that increased poverty but still that's the all of them are in favor of business owners none of them are in favor of employees they're all in favor of the employer now at the same time if such a company for example you know just to throw a random company or any company out there you know if they put a statement out right now and then we're with a lot of protests oh yeah with a lot of protests going on on the world about minimum wage if they were if a company was to put out a statement that if the minimum wage was forced to be increased then I would lay off workers some will resign right away some will actually stay quiet and not go out to protest and just accept that minimum wage why because that's the only source of income they have so it's fear but at the same time it's the companies and business owners and the employers creating that fear because they don't want to lose the the dough they don't want to lose a lot of dough which is not was not losing you know but anyways or getting a lot of messages I jasm says but we're not going to show them because what's going on? technical difficulties again so we can resolve them very soon now what does the public opinion say about this? do they say that should minimum wage be increased or should they not? now another poll in may of 2015 conducted by the New York Times found that 86% of Democrats 50% of Republicans and 76% of إندEPENDENCE were in favor of raising the minimum wage to $10 and $0.10 and 67% of men and 75% of women were in favor as well and guess what if you call in a text I'm in favor of that as well so you know just thought I did now public support and you know for raising the minimum wage hasn't just started you know a few days ago no no it it began and it goes as far back as 1994 another Gallup poll in 2013 found that 50% of small business owners were opposed to raising the minimum wage to $9.50 so they're not even considering $10.10 they won't even go up to $9.50 an hour and the other 50 believe that such an increase would hurt small business owners let that sink increase in the minimum wage will help the employee but won't help the employer well that's actually true because you know who's affected by it it's only the employer but another poll which was conducted by the Wall Street Journal found that 49% of small business owners favored raising the minimum wage while 51% were opposed to it now with all these polls with all these gallups and with all these researches done what does Islam say about minimum wage is there or just wage in general we'll find out but after this short break welcome everyone joining us tonight now we do apologize for those who texted us while we trying to be technical if you can't show text messages but before the break that like 5-10 second break we were talking about minimum wage and the question for tonight is right there at the bottom should minimum wage be increased the number to call in is plus 964774 0671836 to share your opinion with us about tonight's question now what does Islam say about wages in general now we'll begin with Prophet Muhammad peace and blessings be upon him where he says basically this whole thing up by one he says pay the laborer his wage before his sweat it dries out so basically don't wait well now they're waiting until the end of the month to pay you that check but basically what they're saying is pay the employee his wage when it's due a lot of companies do take a day or two days and pay their employees that shouldn't be okay although it's minimum wage but sometimes it's delayed at the same time Prophet Muhammad also says that whoever employs someone to work for him he must specify for him his wage in advance a lot of people sometimes when they're in desperate need of a job they'll go into a job so desperate in need to work and stuff but when the paycheck they sit down and they find out that the way that they're getting is minimum they can't even pay the bills then something is gonna not work out so at the same time this goes back to the employer the employer especially in middle eastern countries the person comes to work works for a month and then at the end of the month when he's trying to get paid he gets surprised by the amount he's getting paid with so it's a responsibility of the employer to put this in advance now on the other hand the worker must satisfy the conditions between him and the employer as Allah states in chapter 5 verses 1 he says the Almighty Allah has said all you who have believed fulfill all your contracts whatever contract you have between you and your brother between you and your employer fulfill that contract and that goes both ways as well the employer cannot exploit the employee which is happening in many countries around the world now where the employer is exploiting the employees giving him more jobs which are not written in his job description or her job description now through these we can conclude that Islam really regards to put an emphasis on the right given giving the proper wage to those who are in need if you see that in your country that wage that you're giving to your employee is not sufficing his needs then you should increase your wage you should be with those who want to increase their wage because taking $2 $3 although you maybe have a lot but at the same time Islamically speaking you have to suffice the wage you're giving him has to suffice him the rent or the mortgage or the car or his family so you have to think of all of that as well now at the end it's easy to say and it's easy to say minimum wage should be increased because the world that we're living in today prices are going high not going down day by day the gold is going up the dollar it goes up and down products they're going it's more expensive and especially new products if you had the iPhone 8 or the iPhone X when you bought it for like $1,100 now the new iPhone costs the minimum $12 to $1,300 so everything is increasing someone having a minimum wage they can't get an iPhone XS Max come on they can't do that but anyways last we can say that minimum wage should be increased and hashtag and tease with you but thank you for joining us tonight do stay tuned for the upcoming episodes والسلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركات
