Ministry of labour spokesman Heng Sour said with almost all countries around the world facing the pandemic and its impact, the government is also exploring its implication on the private sector.
He said workers in some countries such as Vietnam and Bangladesh do not even ask for a wage increase as they feel that having a job is a blessing than being jobless, according to a report in a Cambodian newspaper.
The monthly minimum wage for this year is set at $192 for regular workers, an increase of $2 from 2020.
