Minimum wage here is quite high which also props up a quite high cost of living unfortunately. It's a vicious cycle in some respects.
Luxembourg has lots of means based benefits which helps but I have to be honest that I don't know how the system supports you if you have a family and one (or both) wage earner on minimum wage.

I guess next is looking at which ones have in-work benefit receiptients.
Then again, where do you draw the line? Is a German-style NI system a benefit for the unemployed, or is it an insurance system?
