Minimum wage home care workers struggle as fuel costs double
Original: smic
Home care aides in France paid at or near the SMIC, the national minimum wage, say they can no longer make ends meet. One worker told La Dépêche that a fuel budget that once ran to 80 euros now costs between 150 and 200 euros, roughly double, as petrol prices eat into wages already stretched by inflation and the rising cost of living.
Why now: Rising fuel and living costs are squeezing low-paid essential workers, a topic of ongoing public concern in France
