Liberal Party leader Zübeyir Gülabi made an assessment on working conditions and the purchasing power of the minimum wage in Türkiye. The statement highlighted the imbalance between working hours and income levels, alongside comparative data between Türkiye and several European countries.

According to the data, the average weekly working time in Türkiye is 42.4 hours, compared to 39.6 hours in Greece, 35.6 hours in France, 33.9 hours in Germany, and 31.9 hours in the Netherlands.

In terms of purchasing power, the minimum wage in Türkiye corresponds to approximately 27 kilograms of beef, 281 liters of milk, 347 kilograms of rice, 439 kilograms of flour, 255 liters of cooking oil, and 3,020 eggs. In comparison, workers in the Netherlands can afford 107 kilograms of beef, while the figure is 56 kilograms in Germany, 84 kilograms in France, and 47 kilograms in both Greece and Mexico.

The same dataset shows significant differences in basic goods purchasing capacity across countries. Higher-income European countries such as the Netherlands and Germany demonstrate stronger purchasing power, while Türkiye and Mexico remain at lower levels.

The overall data underscores the contrast between working hours and purchasing power, revealing structural differences in economic conditions across countries.
