The incidence of minimum wage in low paid activities
Abstract
The minimum wage is an issue that is in discussion again. Most of the analyses are focus on its possible negative impact on employment. However, very few studies addressing whether the minimum wage effectively fulfills its basic purpose: to improve the incomes of low-wage earners. In this paper we address precisely this issue. In order to do it, we analyzes the evolution of wages in collective bargaining in three sectors considered low wage (retail, hospitality and cleaning), focusing on the jobs on the bottom.Downloads
