Abstract

The increase of the Polish minimum pay can be considered in different contexts. From the perspective ofvarious industries it is quite cheap. From the perspective of the employees concerned, it turns into a senseof security and greater satisfaction with the payment received. From the perspective of the precariat, theminimum pay is an opportunity to get rid of uncertainty. What is more, the minimum pay is also associatedwith other ideas, such as basic income, maximum pay or unification of the minimum pay across the EuropeanUnion. Appropriate combination and introduction of these ideas may lead to a decrease in the number ofprecariates and to increased satisfaction with the work amongst Poles. These considerations may be thebeginning of a discussion on introducing the basic income.
