Tripartite Commission on Minimum Wages
The Tripartite Commission on Minimum Wages was created with the purpose of integrating representatives of the private sector, workers, and government officials to discuss and decide on increases to the minimum wage, once a country-wide analysis of the reality of employment, wages, inflation, productivity and the economy has been made. The representatives have the option to express their views and their position regarding the decisions of the other sectors participating in the commission. In the end, all three sectors make a joint decision. A number of meetings held by the Minimum Wage Commission were discussed in 2016, where it was analyzed and decided whether or not the minimum wage should be increased.

Mode of Selection of Participants: is the innovation open to all participants, access is restricted to some kind of condition, or both methods apply?
Type of participants: those who participate are individual citizens, civil society organizations, private stakeholders or a combination of those?
Decisiveness: does the innovation takes binding, non-binding or no decision at all?
Co-governance: is there involvement of the government in the process or not?
