NEW: Kazakhstan's minimum wage is rising to 110,000 tenge, officials told a government briefing, explaining who should expect income growth.
First vice-minister of national economy Azamat Amrin briefed the press conference on the rise, according to Zakon.kz. A higher minimum wage lifts the lowest-paid workers directly.
The question for workers is not the headline number but whether employers actually pay it, and whether prices eat the gain.
