SMIC, short for Salaire Minimum Interprofessionnel de Croissance, was introduced in France during Georges Pompidou's presidency in 1970. It represented a significant milestone in the country's labor history, establishing a legally mandated minimum wage applicable to all workers, regardless of their profession or industry.
