The income required to cover living expenses for a working individual and a three-member family with a child under 14 has remained almost unchanged compared to June, according to an analysis by the Confederation of Independent Trade Unions in Bulgaria (CITUB). A net income of 1,454 BGN is needed for a single person, and 2,616 BGN for a three-member family. However, more than 1.6 million workers earn less than this threshold.
