Let's move on to Great Britain now, where the Government in London has taken measures to boost the incomes of low paid workers, but in exchange, they will slash their benefits.
Thus, Finance Minister George Osborne said that, starting April next year, the minimum wage will increase from 6.5 to 7.2 pounds per hour.
The reverse of the medal is that social benefits will be capped at 23 thousand pounds a year in London and 20 thousand pounds a year in the rest of the country.
