When there is inflation, an increase in the minimum wage is necessary to ease the pain of inflation on people. Btw the inflation rate that the government sets is not a good indicator because sometimes they say that inflation is 10% but actually in real life, product and service prices go up by more than 20%. Since many companies pay a minimum official wage to their employees, it's good if governments increase the minimum wage because an increase can help millions of people overcome financial difficulties. For example, while inflation is 20%, 10% increase in minimum wage can make it look like inflation is 10%.

It's not strange when the government said the inflation is 10% but actually around 20%, that's because not all items are up more than 20% let's say in my place vegetables are up for 5% and rice up for 1% so the government will say that the inflation will be around 3%. Why we always feel that the inflation from the government is different from the reality because our daily needs are the one got big inflation.

Raising the minimum wage is good when the companies are able to raise their worker's minimum wage if they can't raise their minimum wage some workers will get fired from the company due to a lack of funds to pay the worker, in the end unemployment rate will increase and many people will lose their purchasing power.

That's correct. In the long run, employers will lose their purchasing power due to inflation. If their salary is not adjusted to match the inflation rate, they will remain stagnant without any improvement unless they find an additional source of income, which may not be a viable option for many employees. However, during this scenario, they will have no other choice.
