Abstract:

Wage gap disparities have become polemic in almost all countries in the world, especially in developing countries. Minimum wage is present as a policy on wage system that aims to be a safety net for workers. Although this policy is not a gender-oriented policy, if the number of women and the actual wage distance of women's minimum wage is lower than that of men, then the minimum wage may raise the wage gap. This study aims to examine the impact of minimum wage increases on wage gap across all provinces in Indonesia by using counterfactual methods on wage distribution. The results of this study

Abstract:

The authors study the effect of the minimum wage on the employment outcomes and Social Security claiming of older US workers from 1983 to 2016. The probability of work at or near the minimum wage increases substantially near retirement, and previous researchers and policies suggest that older workers may be particularly vulnerable to any disemployment effects of the minimum wage. Results show no evidence that the minimum wage causes earlier retirements. Instead, estimates suggest that higher minimum wages increase earnings and may have small positive effects on the labor supply of workers in t

Abstract:

We study the impact of minimum wages on firm profitability, exploiting the changes induced by the introduction of a UK national minimum wage in 1999. We use pre-policy information on the distribution of wages to implement a difference-in-differences approach. Minimum wages raise wages, but also significantly reduce profitability (especially in industries with relatively high market power). This is consistent with a simple model where wage gains from minimum wages map directly into profit reductions. There is some suggestive evidence of longer run adjustment to the minimum wage through falls in

We find that the minimum wage has the strongest effect on the lowest quantile and the effect decreases toward the higher quantiles. This confirms the effectiveness of the minimum wage policy in raising the wages of low-income individuals. In addition, there is also a spill-over effect on indivi

Abstract Since its introduction, minimum wage has led to greater increases in average hourly wages and monthly earnings for women than for men. The effects of minimum wage on the hourly wages of women and men affected by the minimum wage have been similar on average. However, women are more frequently employed in the minimum wage sector than men and therefore benefit from it more often. Reductions in working hours due to the introduction of minimum wage were lower for women than for men in the short term.

ABSTRACT The minimum wage in Indonesia is set to raise the living standards of workers and the safety net, which aims to protect low-wages workers. The debate regarding the impact of minimum wage on poverty is still a debatable issue. Supporters argue the minimum wage rules regarding minimum wages can improve the economic conditions of low-wage workers, so as to contribute to the reduction of poverty of workers affected by this rule. On the other hand, the minimum wage may lead to rigidity in the labor market and lower competitiveness. Wage rigidity caused by the minimum wage can slow job crea

The Minimum Wage, in various variants, has been an important part of Australian wage determination for over a century. This paper documents the development of the minimum wage and in so doing highlights the pivotal role of the Sunshine Harvester case. That case left a number of legacies which are examined in other parts of the paper. These include the bifurcated nature of wage determination, consideration of family size, the sexual division of labour and wages, the conflict between needs and capacity to pay, wage adjustment indexes and the role of minimum wages in a decentralised wages system.

Abstract:

Using panel data on state minimum wage laws and economic conditions for the years 1973–89, the authors reevaluate existing evidence on the effects of a minimum wage on employment. Their estimates indicate that a 10% increase in the minimum wage causes a decline of 1–2% in employment among teenagers and a decline of 1.5–2% in employment for young adults, similar to the ranges suggested by earlier time-series studies. The authors also find evidence that youth subminimum wage provisions enacted by state legislatures moderate the disemployment effects of minimum wages on teenagers.

A significant minority of workers, however—most of them lacking a high school diploma or working on a part-time basis—did not advance beyond the minimum wage between the two survey dates.

While in 2010 there were only three cities with their own minimum wages exceeding the state or federal standard, by 2020 there were 42.

We discuss the main trade-offs emerging from local variation in minimum wage polices and evaluate their empirical relevance. First, we document what type of cities raise minimum wages, and we discuss how these characteristics can potentiall

Average wages are raised by the minimum wage in East Germany, but there is almost no evidence for employment effects. The results also show that the wage effect is quickly undone after the abolition of the minimum wage.

The minimum wage that maximizes the efficiency component of welfare lies below $8.00 and yields gains worth less than 0.2% of lifetime consumption. When we add back in Utilitarian redistributive

Abstract:

This article examines the effects of the Victorian Factory and Shops Act, the first minimum wage law in Australia. The Act differed from modern minimum wage laws in that it established Special Boards, which set trade-specific minimum wage schedules. We use trade-level data on average wages and employment by gender and age to examine the effects of minimum wages. Although the minimum wages were binding, we find that the effects on employment were modest, at best. We speculate that this was because the Special Boards, which were comprised of industry insiders, closely matched the labor market fo

Getting a decent job and livelihood is a basic right of every citizen as a citizen that must be obtained. In its implementation, it cannot be denied that there are problems in employment, one of which concerns wages. However, in principle employers are prohibited from paying wages to workers/employees lower than the minimum wage. The purpose of analyzing the implementation of the provision of the minimum wage is expressly regulated in Article 23 paragraph (3) of Government Regulation Number 36 of 2021 concerning Wages as the Implementing Regulation of Law Number 11 of 2020 concerning Job Creat

Abstract:

In the 1990s, thirteen American states raised their minimum wage above the federal level, while the other thirty-five contiguous states retained the lower federal standard. An increased minimum wage should reduce employment among the lowest-paid workers, and therefore reduce their influx. Using individual-level data from the 5% Public Use Sample of the 2000 U.S. Census of Population, this research examines the effects of forty-eight contiguous U.S. states' minimum wage policies on the settlement choices of recently arrived Mexican and Central American immigrants.

Abstract:

There have been rising levels of inequality in the earnings distribution in some OECD countries (principally the English-speaking ones), together with stub bornly high levels of unemployment in many others. Australia has shared in the increases in earnings inequality and persistent unemployment. The increasing earnings inequality has led to renewed interest in the usefulness of legally binding minimum wages as an instrument for redressing it. The high unemployment has led to a renewed interest in removing restrictions on what employers must pay, in the hope that this will increase employment.

Abstract:

The paper focuses on the development in Australia of minimum wage-setting and its relationship to unemployment. A variety of industrial tribunals embarked on a course of wage-setting early in the twentieth century as part of their task of reducing industrial conflict. In varying degree, the tribunals kept in mind what was thought of as wage justice for workers with low bargaining power. By 1921 a standard minimum wage for unskilled men had emerged and formed the basis of the wage system. It was a wage which had a strong welfare basis. Other wages more closely reflected the market.

A minimum wage is a form of effort to improve people's standard of living with less or low incomes. The goal is to earn wages to meet the needs to improve a person's standard of living. The level of wages of workers needs to be improved so that the quality of life of workers and their families can also increase.

Abstract:

The living wage is defined by researchers as the salary that workers receive during normal working hours, which is enough to maintain a decent standard of living for themselves and their families. Therefore, it is different from the concept of minimum wage being applied as a basis for paying wages to workers today. Vietnam's minimum wage is calculated as the minimum to escape poverty, but not the minimum wage to ensure a decent minimum living in a developed economy. The minimum level to escape poverty is often applied in the condition that the country prioritizes economic development, but in t
