Labor groups hold a protest outside the building where Taiwan's two biggest business and industry associations. The groups called for increasing the current minimum monthly wage to NT$26,000.
Currently, Taiwan’s monthly minimum wage is NT$24,000, with a minimum hourly wage of NT$160.
The labor ministry says it wants to help workers as much as possible.
A review committee formed by representatives of government, employers, unions and experts meets to decide the fate of the minimum wage.
