Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden. None of these nations have an minimim hourly wage enshrined in law. Instead many of the base terms of employment, including wages, are decided via collective bargaining between sector trade unions and representatives of public sector and business interest organizations.

I live in Sweden by the way, so feel free to ask me questions on the topic and I’ll do my best to answer.

    The main problem I see with legislated minimum wages is that it becomes a legitimate target for employers in a “take it or leave it” fashion.
