dc.description.abstractThe legal case for having a minimum wage can be situated to the constitutional right to safe and satisfactory working conditions and the right to equal pay for equal work, the right to freedom, and dignity among other rights. The setting of a minimum wage can however can have far-reaching impacts on the economy and society as a whole. It is therefore essential to take into account the likely consequences of any minimum wage policy before it is adopted. This study reviews the factors underlying the absence of a minimum wage in Uganda. By examining the key issues surrounding the minimum wage policy in Uganda, this study establishes Uganda’s position on having a minimum wage, scrutinises the viability of this position in light of Uganda’s development plans, workers constitutional rights, and conformity to international treaties and conventions. The study concludes with the finding, that Uganda will need to reassess its minimum wage position in order to meet its economic development objectives, to give effect to the Constitution and also satisfy the commitments to its people, regional partners and the international community.en_ZA
