This paper deals with the effects of minimum wages on human capital accumulation, and steady state employment and growth. The minimum wage is introduced in a model of endogenous growth driven by human capital accumulation. Unemployed agents maximize utility given the information that they are unemployed facing changed budget constraints. This situation is implemented in a "non-market-clearing equilibrium" framework. We show that the steady state rate of growth is not affected by the minimum wage and that in the steady state the system yields full employment. These effects are generated by intertemporal adjustments of the employed households who re-act to the relatively higher minimum wage which increases skills accumulation. (author's abstract)

Minimum wages in Austria are bargaining results between labour unions and entrepreneurs. This paper analyses the empirical effects of minimum wages ("Kollektivvertragslöhne") on employment. "Employment functions", based on a "neo-classical" partial analytic framework, are estimated. The empirical analysis that is done for aggregated Austrian industry and specific branches at first sight seems to support the standard theoretical thesis. In addition, problems caused by the used method, which may occur in similar studies too, are shown. They give rise to the possibility that models of this kind are misspecified.

To many economists the public's support for the minimum wage (MW) institution is puzzling, since the MW is considered a "blunt instrument'' for redistribution. To delve deeper in this issue we build models in which workers are heterogeneous in ability. In the first model, the government does not engage in any type of redistributive policies - except for the payment of unemployment benefits; we find that the MW is preferred by the majority of workers (even when the unemployed receive very generous unemployment benefits). In the second model, the government engages in redistribution through the public provision of private goods. We show that (i) the introduction of a MW can be preferred by a majority of workers only if the unemployed receive benefits which are substantially below the after-tax earnings they would have had in the perfectly competitive case, (ii) for a given generosity of the unemployment benefit scheme, the maximum, politically viable, MW is lower than in the absence of in-kind redistribution, and (iii) the MW institution is politically viable only when there is a limited degree of in-kind redistribution. These findings can possibly explain why a well-developed social safety net in Scandinavia tends to co-exist with the absence of a national MW, whereas in Southern Europe the MW institution "complements'' the absence of a well-developed social safety net.

This text will take you on a journey to the Far East – Bangladesh to be more specific. Inspring 2008 I went there to find some answers to the question of wages. I wanted to know if achange in focus from minimum wages to living wages could be achievable. The question willunfortunately remain unsolved at the end of the essay. To predict the future would beimpossible. Instead three possible scenarios are presented. The likelihood of each and everyscenario is later discussed. The conclusions at the end of the essay are based on an analysis ofthe theories presented and the interviews proceeded.The starting point for the research is the relocation strategies of corporations, which areoutlined in the background chapter. This chapter also contains information about the garmentindustry in Bangladesh. The main research question is if there can be a shift from minimumwages to living wages in Bangladesh. In order to bring clarity to the question, three subquestions have been used. The first question looks into how wages are determined in theexport-oriented garment industry in Bangladesh. The second question concerns thecorporations’ responsibility for their workers. The third, and last, question addresses howcultural dimensions influence the corporations and how wages are set. To find the answers tothe sub questions I divided the research into four main topics: “Wages – Minimum and LivingWages”, “Morality, Ethics and Business Ethics”, “Employees as Stakeholders of theCompanies” and “The Cultural Dimension”. The topics are dealt with in separate chapters.The chapters contain a theoretical overview, as well as the information gathered from theinterviews.The chapters are followed by a further analysis of the empirical findings. The chapter onwages contains an in-depth explanation of the difference between minimum wages and livingwages. In the conducted study all workers were paid the minimum wage in coherence with thelaw. This wage was however much lower than what the definition of a living wage declares.Therefore many workers did over-time in order to reach a higher standard of living. Businessethics and the stakeholder theory will be used to discuss the opportunities and limitations ofthe responsibility of the corporations for their workers. The scholar Hofstede’s system ofmeasuring national cultural values will be used to look into specific cultural aspects.According to his system, Bangladesh has a high ranking in power distance, a low ranking inindividualism and a middle ranking in masculinity. These three dimensions will be discussed;both correlations and exceptions found in this study will be presented.The three possible scenarios for a change are presented in the conclusions. Firstly, theminimum wages could be changed into living wages, if the government decides on raising thewages of the garment workers. Secondly, the mentality amongst management could provide asolution to the change in focus. If managers could find advantages in paying their workersmore, it would open up for a brand new wage system. Thirdly, changes could come from theworkers themselves, through unification in the regard. This has however been valued as lesslikely to happen, because of the power distance prevailing in the country.

This study adds value to the South African literature on labour market policy evaluation and their poverty impacts in general, and minimum wages and wage subsidies in particular, both in terms of the theoretical and descriptive analyses provided. Various possible modelling approaches are explored, with careful consideration of the advantages and limitations of each. A rich set of model results is also generated. Under both the policies evaluated, the poverty outcome is shown to generally be positive but small. Furthermore, the outcome is highly sensitive to the wage elasticity of demand: while minimum wages tend to be more effective in reducing poverty when the wage elasticity is low, wage subsidies generate superior outcomes under a high wage elasticity scenario.

In May 2011, it is a milestone for implementation of Statutory Minimum Ordinance in Hong Kong. In this dissertation, it can see that the changes in the field of property management after implementation of Statutory Minimum Wage Ordinance. The aim of implementation of Statutory Minimum Wage Ordinance to safeguard the interests of the vulnerable and grassroots workers. However, it found that it is very difficult to recruit frontline security staff than before. Hence, questionnaire and interview were conducted for analysis the existing working and living condition of frontline security staff and managerial grade staff. It can get more details what are the problems after implementation of Statutory Minimum Wage Ordinance. Moreover, some recommendations and suggestions are given for review of Statutory Minimum Wage Ordinance. In this project, it was found that frontline security staff get their job easier than before and the majority of their hourly wage rate at between $30.1 and $33. The frontline security staff also consider to get their job not only hourly wage but also the other fringe benefits what the property management company can provide. On the other hand, the managerial grade staff felt that their workload were increased and they also disagree the benefits could outweigh disadvantages after implementation of Statutory Minimum Wage Ordinance. Furthermore, management fee were increased inevitably which affected by the implementation of Statutory Minimum Wage Ordinance. It was known that the Statutory Minimum Wage rate was applied to all industries which set up in one rate. It is time for review the policy that set up a different minimum wage rate for different kind of industries. Recently, a referendum was conducted in Switzerland by resolution of implementing the Statutory Minimum Wage Ordinance on 18 May 2014, and it was rejected by majority. They concern that implementing the Statutory Minimum Wage Ordinance not only to weaken the productivity and competitiveness for each industry but also implementation of Statutory Minimum Wage Ordinance cannot be improved the quality of living condition. To improve the quality of living condition for grassroots workers, working hard is the best solution. We may put this case of Switzerland in to Hong Kong for reference and we may also make our own choice by a referendum for resolution of implementation of Statutory Minimum Wage Ordinance.

Annotation:

The role of inequality in development has been the subject of long-standing debates in academic and policy circles. Notwithstanding disagreements about exactly how the two are linked, conventional wisdom agrees that inequality is an objective 'fact' that can be measured free from ideological considerations. New data detect trends towards higher inequality, weaker economic positions for those at the bottom, and a concentration of wealth at the very top of the distribution in most regions. Inequality studies as currently practiced are ill-equipped to accommodate the empirical changes and the resulting theoretical implications. Putting an end to over half a century of mainstream consensus assuming that inequality would automatically recede with developmental progress, the discipline needs rethinking. My thesis proposes a new research agenda for studying inequality that is not only able to integrate these empirical developments, but which also challenges what has been taken for granted: that inequality just is, independently of context, time and observer. Instead, it proposes that along with its objective existence, inequality is a relational phenomenon subjectively experienced relative to a particular context. In five interconnected Sections, my dissertation challenges conventional views of how inequality looks, how it is seen, and what can be done about it, especially in developing countries. The study focuses on the ways in which inequality is perceived, and how it is perpetuated. After an introduction to the subject in Section I, Section II investigates how inadequate measurement perpetuates inequality, proposing a new indicator that shows that inequality is largely defined in the extreme ends of the income distribution. Section III examines the reproduction of inequality at the bottom, contrasting minimum wage policies over recent decades in Mexico with those of other countries in Latin America. In light of a political economy resistant to change, Section IV scrutinizes Mexican elites, exploring how inequality is perceived from the very top of the income distribution, how this affects policy-making and, subsequently, measured inequality levels. Section V concludes by outlining the theoretical and practical implications of my findings.

The aim of my thesis is to evaluate the impacts of several public policies in Australia. I apply tools common in the policy evaluation literature to identify the causal effect of these policies on outcomes that policymakers care about, such as student test scores, employment rates and wages. Although the tools I use are common, the identification strategies and datasets I use are novel. These identification strategies are developed by carefully studying Australia's institutional details. My first chapter examines whether an increase in capital spending in schools (e.g. to build a new library or classroom) affects student test scores. Exploiting a large-scale natural experiment and school-level administrative data, I find no evidence that an increase in capital spending improves student test scores. The achievement effects that I find are close to zero and precisely estimated. My second chapter assesses how changes in minimum wages affect the labour market outcomes of employees paid the minimum wage. I exploit Australia's detailed system of ‘award’ wages to implement a control strategy. I find that increases to minimum wages are almost fully passed on to employee wages (implying that firms largely comply with their legal obligations). Importantly, however, there is no evidence that these minimum wage changes affect hours worked or job loss. My third chapter explores whether the decline in union membership rates in Australia has contributed to low wages growth in recent years. My co-author and I argue that trends in unionisation rates are unlikely to account for much of the recent low wages growth. This reflects our finding that the ‘union wage growth premium’ has remained stable over recent decades and that the share of the workforce who receive that premium has also remained steady, contrary to conventional wisdom.

This thesis evaluates the impact of minimum wages on labour market outcomes, exploiting variation in its "bite" across areas and years. In the UK, a National Minimum Wage (NMW) was introduced in 1999 and has been up-rated each year since. This rather extended length of time since implementation constitutes an opportunity to take a retrospective look at the impact of this policy. Identification is based on variation in the "bite" of the NMW across local labour markets and the different sized year on year up-ratings. An "Incremental Difference-in- Differences" (ID iD) model is used in which each year's change in the NMW is considered as a separate interaction effect. This IDiD procedure allows one to evaluate the year-on-year impact of the up-rating of the NMW on different labour market outcomes. The effect of the NMW on UK wage inequality is also assessed. In order to identify the effect of this policy on the distribution of earnings, the strategy applied in the US by Lee (1999) and more recently by Autor et al (2010) is used. Variation in the relative level of the NMW across local areas is exploited in order to disentangle the NMW effect from movements in latent wage dispersion. Finally, new estimates of the employment effects of the Minimum Wage (MW) are produced focusing on a panel of 33 OECD and European countries for the period 1971- 2009. Cross-national variation in the level and timing of the MW up-rating is exploited. The panel allows one to take into account the institutional and other policy related differences that might have an impact on employment other than the MW. It also allows one to differentiate the effect of the MW on employment in periods of economic downturn as well as in periods of economic growth, exploiting the exact timing of the recessionary experiences in different countries. 3

Statutory Minimum Wages was effective in Hong Kong on 1 May 2011. It is not a newly invented concept and actually many European and Asian countries have adopted the minimum wages policy for long. Since the implementation of the minimum wages, it has been a controversial topic in our Hong Kong society. Being the one works in the property management field, this dissertation aims to examine the implementation of the Statutory Minimum Wages among the property management companies in Hong Kong and to critically review and evaluate the costs and benefits of this policy on the property management companies. Many scholars and economists have taken efforts to study the impacts of implementing the Statutory Minimum Wages. By reviewing those studies it helps to understand the possible costs and benefits that the minimum wages policy could bring. However, most of the studies are focused on the impacts of the minimum wages policy to the personal or society, very rare that they would have studied on the impacts of the minimum wages on a specific industry. There are also no scholars and economists did a research on the impacts of the Statutory Minimum Wages on the property management industry. To understand the impacts of the Statutory Minimum Wages on property management companies in Hong Kong, both primary and secondary data research has been conducted in order to find out the answer. For the secondary data research, data are collected via various channels including government’s report, Census and Statistics Department, journals, books and newspapers etc. For the primary data research, both qualitative and quantitative method has been used. The quantitative questionnaire interview aims to interview the people working in the property management companies and see how the implementation of the minimum wages could have impact on them. There is also a qualitative face to face interview to the property managers so as to understand the impacts of the minimum wages policy to the property management companies. By gathering the information and analysis the data, this paper suggests that at the current stage the implementation of the Statutory Minimum Wages could bring more benefits than costs to the property management companies in Hong Kong. The overall living standard and living quality of the people working in the property management companies has been improved. Although the minimum wages would increase the company operation cost, it is suggested that the benefits generated could cover the cost increment in long run and it is worthy to continue the enactment of the minimum wages policy. Nevertheless, there is the recommendation that the future review of the minimum wages level should not be too aggressive. Prior any adjustment taken there should have a detail study on the market situation and the company affordability. Great changes at a time would be out of the affordability of the property management companies, which in turn would lead to the negative effect of close down of companies and trigger the layoff of employees. The policy should be review and adjust bit by bit so as to favor for the long term development of the property management companies in Hong Kong.

The legal case for having a minimum wage can be situated to the constitutional right to safe and satisfactory working conditions and the right to equal pay for equal work, the right to freedom, and dignity among other rights. The setting of a minimum wage can however can have far-reaching impacts on the economy and society as a whole. It is therefore essential to take into account the likely consequences of any minimum wage policy before it is adopted. This study reviews the factors underlying the absence of a minimum wage in Uganda. By examining the key issues surrounding the minimum wage policy in Uganda, this study establishes Uganda’s position on having a minimum wage, scrutinises the viability of this position in light of Uganda’s development plans, workers constitutional rights, and conformity to international treaties and conventions. The study concludes with the finding, that Uganda will need to reassess its minimum wage position in order to meet its economic development objectives, to give effect to the Constitution and also satisfy the commitments to its people, regional partners and the international community.

The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the incentives regarding the education decisions, resulting from a minimum wage over the period 2005-2014. The question is investigated by comparing the changes in the wage dispersion and upper secondary graduation rate in 17 OECD countries. And then, by comparing the changes in the bites of the minimum wage and educational attainment for upper secondary students in 11 OECD countries, where minimum wages are regulated by law. The majority of previous research seem to point out a negative educational effect of minimum wages. However, this paper finds no evidence that increasing the minimum wage can decrease the high school graduation rate. A possible explanation is that the correlation between the higher employment prospect and educational attainment can create incentives for young individuals to undergo education. This study seems to be the first to investigate the educational effects of minimum wages using internationally comparative data.

We investigate the empirical evidence of the "textbook theory" of minimum wages for the Austrian Industry. The bargaining result of unions and firms is interpreted as a minimum wage, as the bargaining situation in Austria may be described best by a "right to manage" model". Based on the analysis of micro-founded "employment functions" in contrast to the predictions of the "textbook analysis" no significant negative effect of minimum wages on employment is found.

Annotation:

The Minimum Wage Ordinance was introduced since 1 May 2011. It was widely discussed among the society on how it affects the economy and the market nature of Hong Kong. Employer has carried out different measures on either changing the term of employment contract or raise up the requirement for the employee as to compensate the addition salary cost they have paid under this regulation. Being a participant in building management service, we observe that owners/ residents rise up their expectation on the performance of building attendant. They believe the increase of salary under MWO would motivate the building attendant on their work and it would also attract more candidates with higher qualification and personal ability to join the service sector. However, there is a variation between the expectation and the reality. This research is attempted to identify whether the implementation of MWO would improve the performance of building attendant and what are the factors of giving such impact by studying the change of labour market of building management and the result of customer satisfaction survey conduct in this research. From these findings, we would try to verify if there is any direct relationship between MWO and building staff performance and recommend some appropriate strategy to owners/resident on how to improve the performance of building attendant.

Cette thèse analyse les effets redistributifs du salaire minimum. Le premier chapitre montre que l’introduction du salaire minimum en 1967 dans un certain nombre de secteurs de l’économie qui en étaient exclus jusqu’alors peut expliquer plus de 20% de la réduction des inégalités entre Blancs et Noir-Américains dans les années 1960 et le début des années 1970 aux États-Unis – la seule période (depuis la seconde guerre mondiale) au cours de laquelle les inégalités raciales sur le marché du travail ont diminué. Cette réforme a eu un rôle aussi déterminant dans l’évolution des inégalités raciales que l’augmentation du nombre d’années d’études pour les Noir-Américains ou les lois contre la discrimination. Le deuxième chapitre de cette thèse est consacré à l’estimation de la transmission des augmentations de salaire minimum dans les prix des produits vendus dans les supermarchés américains.Une augmentation moyenne de 10% du salaire minimum se traduit par une augmentation de 0.2% dans les prix des supermarchés entre 2001 et 2012. Cette elasticité-prix est cohérente avec une tranmission de l’intégralité de l’augmentation des coûts du travail dans les prix de vente aux consommateurs. L’augmentation des prix des supermarchés réduit les gains de revenu nominaux liés à l’augmentation du salaire minimum entre de 3 à 12%, selon le niveau de revenu du ménage. Le troisième chapitre calibre un modèle du marché du travail qui permet de simuler les effets d’une augmentation du salaire minimum au niveau fédéral à $15 d’ici 2024 aux États-Unis. Il s’agit de comparer les niveaux d’emploi obtenus si la réforme est adoptée aux niveaux d’emploi obtenu si la réforme n’est pas adoptée, et ce, selon les valeurs d’une série d’élasticités bien identifiées
This dissertation studies the redistributive effects of minimum wage policies. The first chapter provides the first causal evidence of how the minimum wage has affected the historical evolution of racial inequality in the United States. It shows that the extension of the federal minimum wage to new sectors of the economy in 1967 can explain more than 20% of the decline in the racial earnings gap observed during the Civil Rights Era -- the only period of time (post World-War II) during which racial inequality fell in the United States. This effect is as large as previously studied policies and economic factors, such as the improvement in schooling for African-Americans or federal anti-discrimination policies. The second chapter estimates the pass-through of minimum wage increases into prices of US grocery stores, using high-frequency scanner level data. A 10% minimum wage hike translates into a 0.2% increase in grocery prices between 2001 and 2012. This magnitude is consistent with a full pass-through of cost increases into consumer prices. Depending on household income, grocery price increases offset between 3 and 12% of the nominal income gains. The third chapter estimates a calibrated labor market model to analyze the likely effects of a $15 federal minimum wage by 2024. It compares employment numbers if the policy were adopted to employment numbers if the policy had not been adopted using a wide range of well-identified elasticities

Il s’agit de comparer les niveaux d’emploi obtenus si la réforme est adoptée aux niveaux d’emploi obtenu si la réforme n’est pas adoptée, et ce, selon les valeurs d’une série d’élasticités bien identifiées
This dissertation studies the redistributive effects of minimum wage policies. The first chapter provides the first causal evidence of how the minimum wage has affected the historical evolution of racial inequality in the United States. It shows that the extension of the federal minimum wage to new sectors of the economy in 1967 can explain more than 20% of the decline in the racial earnings gap observed during the Civil Rights Era -- the only period of time (post World-War II) during which racial inequality fell in the United States. This effect is as large as previously studied policies and economic factors, such as the improvement in schooling for African-Americans or federal anti-discrimination policies. The second chapter estimates the pass-through of minimum wage increases into prices of US grocery stores, using high-frequency scanner level data. A 10% minimum wage hike translates into a 0.2% increase in grocery prices between 2001 and 2012. This magnitude is consistent with a full pass-through of cost increases into consumer prices. Depending on household income, grocery price increases offset between 3 and 12% of the nominal income gains. The third chapter estimates a calibrated labor market model to analyze the likely effects of a 15 dollars federal minimum wage by 2024. It compares employment numbers if the policy were adopted to employment numbers if the policy had not been adopted using a wide range of well-identified elasticities

Está dissertação apresenta uma análise dos mecanismos por trás do equilíbrio entre demanda e oferta por mão de obra qualificada no mercado de trabalho brasileiro. São estimados os impactos de choques exógenos ao mercado de trabalho como: (i) abertura comercial chinesa, (ii) política recente de valorização do salário mínimo e (iii) aumento da oferta de mão de obra qualificada sobre os diferenciais salariais dos trabalhadores de diferentes níveis educacionais - também conhecidos como prêmio da educação. Como estratégia metodológica, os dados dos Censos Demográficos de 2000 e 2010, foram agrupados para cada uma das 530 microrregiões brasileiras tornando possível a eliminação de possíveis vieses causados por fatores intrínsecos a cada uma das microrregiões. Além disso, também foram utilizados os dados de comércio internacional - entre Brasil/China e China/demais países - disponíveis na base da UN Comtrade. As importações e exportações foram agrupadas em setores e os respectivos choques distribuídos entre as microrregiões do país proporcionalmente à porcentagem da mão de obra de cada setor empregada no local. Os resultados encontrados mostram que, ao contrário do sendo comum, o boom comercial chinês não foi um dos principais determinantes da melhora recente da distribuição salarial no Brasil. Os modelos estimados apontaram para efeitos significativos do salário mínimo sobre o diferencial dos trabalhadores semiqualificados e do aumento da oferta de trabalhadores com ensino superior sobre os diferenciais salariais dos trabalhadores qualificados.
This thesis presents an analysis of the mechanisms behind the balance between supply and demand for skilled labor in the Brazilian labor market. Its estimated impacts of exogenous shocks to the labor market as: (i) Chinese trade boom, (ii) minimum wage valorization policy and (iii) the increase in skilled labor supply. As a methodological strategy, data from Demographic Census 2000 and 2010 were grouped for each of the 530 Brazilian micro-regions making it possible to eliminate biases caused by intrinsic factors of each of the micro-regions. Furthermore, the UN Comtrade international trade data were also used. Imports and exports were grouped into sectors and their shock distributed among the country\'s micro-regions in proportion to the percentage of the workforce employed in each sector in region. The results show that the China\'s trade boom is not a major determinant of the recent improvement of the wage distribution in Brazil. The estimated models pointed to significant effects of the minimum wage on the differential of semi-skilled workers and the increased supply of workers with higher education on the wage gap of skilled workers

Na tradição da teoria de relações de trabalho, os salários monetários são determinados em um sistema de relações de trabalho. Um dos modos de regulação do sistema de relações de trabalho é a negociação coletiva. O Plano Real inaugurou um novo paradigma para as negociações salariais no país quando acabou com os reajustes automáticos após 30 anos de indexação de preços e salários, o que significou uma nova dinâmica dos salários nominais, que passaram a depender, principalmente, dos resultados de negociações coletivas e de decisões unilaterais dos empregadores. O presente trabalho buscou analisar os salários monetários determinados por negociação coletiva em um cenário de baixa inflação e desindexação salarial. Foram analisados os determinantes dos resultados das negociações salariais em 16 unidades selecionadas da indústria do Rio Grande do Sul entre 1996 e 2011. Os resultados da análise de regressão indicaram que, entre 1996 e 2011, os resultados dos reajustes salariais negociados foram influenciados (i) pela taxa de desemprego, (ii) pelo nível de emprego, (iii) pela variação no produto da indústria, (iv) pela razão entre os custos do trabalho e os custos totais de produção, (v) pela variação no salário mínimo oficial, e (vi) pela presença do Partido dos Trabalhadores no governo federal. Quanto aos resultados para os pisos salariais negociados, estes dependeram (i) da variação no produto da indústria, (ii) da inflação, e (iii) da variação no piso regional oficial.
Collective bargaining is a method of regulating the employer relationship, including the setting of nominal wages, whose study is deeply rooted in the tradition of Industrial Relations. In Brazil, collective bargaining has been carried out since 1994 under an economic context characterized by low inflation and no legal guarantee for wage adjustments. A stabilization plan called Plano Real after the new currency suppressed the formal machinery of wage indexation, with the exception of minimum wages, as well as brought about a period of lower inflation. The revocation of the wage indexation laws caused nominal wages increase to depend either on collective agreements or on employers´ unilateral decisions. This essay aims at analysing wage determination under collective bargaining in Brazil by taking account of the context of low inflation and no legal indexation of wages. The outcomes of wage bargaining related to 16 units in manufacturing in the state of Rio Grande do Sul between 1996 and 2011 provide the set for the empirical study. A regression analysis suggests that the bargaining of nominal wages adjustments has been affected by (i) the rate of unemployment, (ii) the level of employment in manufacturing, (iii) change in the manufacturing product, (iv) the ratio of labour costs to total costs of production, (v) change in the official minimum wage, and (vi) the presence of the Workers Party in office beginning in 2003. As for negotiated minimum wages, outcomes has been influenced by (i) change in the manufacturing product, (ii) the rate of inflation, and (iii) change in the official minimum wage.

On the basis of descriptive and prescriptive ethics and by means of literature study and exegesis of the Scriptures, this study poses an answer to the question: "How should factors that define labour compensation in South Africa since 1994 be judged according to theological ethics?" Since the subsistence farming of the seventeenth century in South Africa labour compensation has changed to a mainly capitalistic system with money as the most important compensation to labourers for services rendered. Since the seventeenth century a period of unfolding and development of careers has taken place mainly as a result of the influence of colonists from Europe. Gradual development taking place in the economic field has made subsequent factors in lieu of labour compensation more relevant for labourers. Various factors with regard to compensation of labour after 1994 - when the first fully-fledged democratic voting took place in South Africa - defines that it must be seen against the developmental background before 1994. In this study thirteen factors that have an influence on compensation since 1994, will be identified. Some factors tend to lean towards underpayment and others to overpayment. Interior factors relating to insufficient payment are unemployment, child labour, HIV/Aids and gambling. Foreign factors relative to insufficient payment are illegal immigration and cheap imports. Relevant to this, there are also factors resulting in higher remuneration of labourers. Labour laws with regard to affirmative action and minimum wages have a positive influence on payment for labourers. Illegal conduct of labourers gives rise to theft, robbery and corruption. Positive reactions are also in place with regard to remuneration of labourers. In view of this, over-pay, strikes and emigration play an important role. The factors that influence payment since 1994 are being judged according to the Scriptures, pertaining labour and remuneration. God created mankind serving as inhabitants and workers of the earth. He also decreed that mankind will live from the fruit of his labour. This decree forms the basis by which labourers receive remuneration for their efforts. Through fellowship man shows that he is sewing God and fellow-country men and does not labour only for his own advantage. The fall of man has far-reaching influences on mankind, his labours, place of labour and the consequent remuneration be receives for services rendered. One cannot fatalistically accept the influence of the fall of mankind. The recreation of mankind, started by Jesus Christ also affects the area of labour. This study demonstrates how remuneration for labour does not comply to Bible principles. Guidance will be given to how, especially believers, be they employers or employees, portray God's image through their conduct. Believers should execute their labours in such a way, that they are worthy of decent remuneration. Christian employers ought to be reasonable when paying employees, create and protect job opportunities and where possible, employ more labourers. Maximum opportunity should be granted by the ruling authority in order that as many people possible have the opportunity to labour without being exploited.

The minimum wage is a tool of public policy which despite being in favor of politics tends to be in displeasure of economists. Recent consensus study shows (Alston, 1992; Fuller, 2003) that consensus on minimum wage among economists has a tendency for weakening. The goal of my thesis was to map the consensus of economists on minimum wage in the course of the 20th century and to help to answer the question how the view of economists has changed on this topic and which events were of greatest influence. As a way of measuring the consensus I chose the studying of academic articles because it is the direct output of academic community. My study shows that from the 1930s we can see a constant strengthening of ideas that a minimum wage has a negative effect on economy.

Cette thèse a pour objectif d’analyser des effets du salaire minimum en Turquie où le salaire minimum est un instrument de politique sociale essentiel. Cette thèse s’articule autour de quatre chapitres : Le premier chapitre présente les institutions du salaire minimum et les principaux résultats obtenus dans la littérature concernant les divers effets du salaire minimum sur les différentes variables économiques et sociales dans les pays en développement. Le deuxième chapitre identifie empiriquement le profil des salariés payés au salaire minimum. Les résultats indiquent que la probabilité d’être rémunéré au salaire minimum est élevée parmi la population considérée comme « fragile ». Le troisième chapitre examine les effets du salaire minimum sur l’emploi dans le cadre de la demande et de l’offre du travail et montre que le salaire minimum n’a pas d’impact négatif sur l’emploi. Par ailleurs, une hausse du salaire minimum exerce un effet positif sur la probabilité de rester en emploi. Le dernier chapitre étudie l’évolution de la distribution des salaires au cours de la dernière décennie en Turquie. Les résultats indiquent que la hausse du salaire minimum en 2004 a contribué à réduire les inégalités salariales
Minimum wage is an important tool of social policy.

The second chapter identifies empirically the profile of workers paid at minimum wage. The results indicate that the probability of receiving the minimum wage is high among the groups considered "fragile". The third chapter examines the impact of the minimum wage on employment in the context of demand and supply of labor and shows that the minimum wage has no negative impact on employment. Besides, a minimum wage increase has a positive effect on the probability of remaining employed. The last chapter analyzes the evolution of the wage distribution over the last decade in Turkey. The results show that the minimum wage increase in 2004 contributed to reduce wage inequality in this country

Annotation:

Studies of the minimum wage, particularly of its impact on the labour market, have raised interesting but contentious questions among researchers and policymakers alike. There have been a number of studies which examine the impact of the National Minimum Wage on the UK labour market, but little has been done to examine the effects of the minimum wage on non-wage benefits. There is also a paucity of studies that examine the effects of the minimum wage on migrant workers. This study aims to fill this gap by examining the effects of the minimum wage on the non-wage benefits of migrant workers. Therefore three important and interrelated issues are examined in theoretical and empirical contexts: (i) the effects of the minimum wage on a wide range of non-wage benefits, (ii) the effects of the minimum wage on migration, and (iii) the effects of the minimum wage on the non-wage benefits of migrant workers. It is argued that to some extent the minimum wage has had adverse effects on both non-wage benefits and migrant workers. Primary and secondary research has been conducted by applying mainly positivist quantitative methodology, complemented by a qualitative approach (i.e. a number of interviews) to examine the effects of the minimum wage on the non-wage benefits of migrant workers. The secondary data has been collected from three major labour surveys in the UK: the Annual Survey of Hours and Earnings (ASHE), the Workplace Employee Relations Survey (WERS), and the Labour Force Survey (LFS). The primary data has been collected through a face-to-face questionnaire survey of 200 London-based migrants who have low-paid, low-skilled jobs. The secondary data is analysed using Difference-in-Difference (DID) analysis, while the primary data is analysed through regression analysis, the Pearson’s Chi-squared coefficient, descriptive statistics and qualitative analysis. It is shown through regression that the minimum wage is likely to create adverse effects in the UK labour market, particularly for migrant workers. It was found that the minimum wage has significant negative influences on migrants’ access to numerous valuable non-wage benefits, such as training, holiday pay, paid sick leave and pension schemes. Accommodation/housing, which is a non-wage benefit pertinent to the minimum wage, was also found to be an excuse for not paying statutory wages. Migrants who work in the minimum wage sectors are also less likely to receive health/life insurance. Nevertheless, DID analysis overall shows no evidence that the minimum wage reduces the provision of non-wage benefits. The thesis conclusion addresses the implications of these findings for National Minimum Wage policy, in particular to encourage policymakers to consider the minimum wage’s adverse effects on the UK labour market. The thesis makes some recommendations for National Minimum Wage policy in relation to both non-wage benefits and migrant workers.

Annotation:

This dissertation is composed of three essays. In the first essay of this dissertation, I reexamine the effect of industrial mobility on the cost of worker displacement. While the human capital implications of this regularity are well understood, no current model can explain why a displaced worker would ever choose to "switch." I develop a match-based model of wages and endogenous mobility and show that switching industries may, indeed, be optimal for some "mismatched" workers. I then use data on displaced workers to re-estimate the cost of switching industries that controls for the endogeneity of industrial mobility. I find that switching industries is an optimal decision from the point of view of individual displaced workers — i.e. that losses would have been even larger had they "stayed." The results suggest that skill mismatch and the resulting inability of some workers to re-match their task-specific skills via reemployment is an important determinant of the observed costs of worker displacement.

In the second essay, I estimate the degree of heterogeneity in the outcomes of displaced workers and analyze the extent to which these heterogeneous experiences can be explained by observable (or "systematic") factors as opposed to unobserved (or "idiosyncratic") factors. To this end, I use data on displaced workers to estimate the standard deviation of earnings losses following displacement. I find statistically significant heterogeneity at the lower bound, which is equal to about half of the mean effect each year following displacement. Once I control for systematic differences in observable characteristics, the remaining idiosyncratic variation is estimated to be about 20%-40% less than the total variation in the first few years following displacement and 50%-80% less than the total variation six to eight years after displacement. Systematic variation, however, remains fairly large and constant over time. These results suggest that idiosyncratic factors, such as luck or unobserved quality, have largely transitory effects on the outcomes of displaced workers while systematic factors, such as industrial mobility and unemployment duration, disproportionately explain the persistent heterogeneity in the costs of worker displacement.

The third essay explores the potential causes of spillovers in the wage distribution that occur when the minimum wage increases. This empirical phenomenon, known as the "ripple effect" of minimum wage laws, is typically explained in terms of demand substitution: where the rising minimum increases the demand for more-skilled workers who become relatively inexpensive compared to less-skilled workers. I show that workers will also respond to changes in the minimum wage by re-optimizing their labor supply since an increase in the minimum wage leads to lower compensating wage differentials. The resulting decline in labor supply at hedonically less desirable (and hence, higher paying) jobs could also cause the ripple effect. I combine labor market data on individuals with occupation-level hedonic data and provide evidence that the ripple effect is largely caused by labor supply substitution and not labor demand substitution as previously believed.

This study looks at the welfare implications of the minimum wage in China, and covers three topics: the minimum wage and wage inequality, the minimum wage and employment, and the minimum wage and the gender wage gap. The main finding is that the welfare implications of the minimum wage in China are mixed, with both positive and negative welfare effects. Four main conclusions are reached. Firstly, minimum wages can effectively reduce overall wage inequality at the municipal level (despite non-compliance) through raising individual wages at the lower end of the wage distribution. Secondly, minimum wages generally have significantly negative effects on urban employment with some indication of more marked effects for traditionally disadvantaged groups such as youth, older workers, and women. Thirdly, minimum wages significantly raise women’s wages relative to men’s at the lower quantiles of wage distribution, thus reducing the gender wage gap. Together with the second result, this means that the minimum raises women’s relative wages, while lowering their employment. Fourthly, these three results are especially robust during 2004-2007, when the minimum wage system was reinforced.

Resumo: A Indonésia é um país que tem heterogeneidade em vários aspectos da vida, incluindo seus recursos, tais como fatores geográficos, sociais e econômicos. O emprego na Indonésia é um desses fatores interessantes a serem explorados. O salário mínimo é uma questão muito fundamental no emprego. Na Indonésia, a questão do salário mínimo não é apenas econômica, mas também envolve as questões políticas contidas em leis trabalhistas. Este estudo explora o salário mínimo na Indonésia durante várias épocas políticas: antes de 1980, em 1998 e 2010. Devido às limitações dos dados, estudo usa os dados selecionados que satisfazem os fins da presente pesquisa. A Indonésia ainda não tem um sistema de salário mínimo nacional. As evidências deste estudo sugerem que existem diferentes salários mínimos para cada província. Os dados analisados neste estudo avaliam o salário mínimo de quatro províncias em cada uma das regiões Oeste e Leste, e cinco províncias da região central da Indonésia, representando treze províncias fora da Indonésia de trinta e três, onde, quando combinados, abrangem mais de setenta por cento do total população. Alguns empregadores alegam que a fixação anual dos salários mínimos nas provinciais pode limitar a contratação e reduzir a força de trabalho, prejudicando os níveis de produção. No entanto, os baixos salários impedem os trabalhadores de terem uma vida digna. O autor argumenta que a fixação do salário mínimo é necessária para respeitar a dignidade dos trabalhadores como seres humanos, conforme a UUD 1945, Constituição da República da Indonésia. A fixação do salário mínimo não é suficiente para resolver o problema dos salários em geral. É preciso melhorar o salário médio na Indonésia. A melhoria no salário médio deve aumentar a desigualdade salarial, caso não haja um aumento no salário mínimo. Então é necessária uma política para melhorar os salários e, simultaneamente, reduzir a desigualdade de renda. Uma possibilidade seria combinar a política de reajuste do salário mínimo com o fortalecimento dos sindicatos para negociar os salários para um conjunto mais amplo de trabalhadores e, assim, aumentar o salário médio
Abstract: Indonesia is a country that has heterogeneity in various aspects of life, including its resources, such as geographical, social, and economic factors. Employment in Indonesia is one of these interesting factors to be explored. The minimum wage is a very fundamental issue in employment. In Indonesia, the minimum wage issue is not only economic but also involves the political issues contained in employment laws. This study explores the minimum wage in Indonesia during several political eras: before 1980, in 1998, and 2010. Due to data limitations this study uses the selected data that satisfies the purposes of this research. Indonesia does not have a national minimum wage system yet. The evidence from this study suggests that different minimum wages exist in each province. The data examined in this study evaluates the minimum wages of four provinces in each of the West and East regions and five provinces of Central region of Indonesia, representing thirteen provinces out Indonesia¿s thirty-three, where, when combined, over seventy percent of the total population resides. Some employers allege that the yearly fixing of the provincial minimum wage forces them to limit hiring and reduce their workforce, hurting production levels. However, low wages prevent workers from having a dignified life. The author argues that fixing the minimum wage is necessary to respect the dignity of workers as human beings, as mandated by UUD 1945, the constitution of the Republic of Indonesia. The fixing minimum wage is not enough to solve the wages problem in general. It is need to improve the average wage in Indonesia. The improvement in the average wage should increase wage inequality, without an increase in the minimum wage. Then it is necessary a policy to improve wages and simultaneously reduce income inequality. One possibility would be to combine the policy of the minimum wage increase with the strengthening of unions to bargain wages for a broader set of workers and thus raise the average wage

The purpose of this dissertation is to consider whether centralised bargaining, through bargaining councils, is a suitable mechanism for determining minimum wages in South Africa. In addressing this issue, the minimum wage fixing mechanisms currently available in South Africa, the impact they have on the labour markets and whether there is a need for reformation of our labour laws relating to the setting of minimum wages will be considered. The dissertation focuses on the various philosophical perspectives on labour law, the international development of collective labour law, international wage-fixing mechanisms and the development of South African labour law from the Industrial Conciliations Act 11 of 1924 to the current Labour Relations Act 66 of 1995. The current levels of collective bargaining available in South African, focusing on the establishment and functioning of bargaining councils, the extension of and exemption from collective agreements, as well as the use of collective bargaining to set minimum wages are discussed. The advantages and disadvantages of our current minimum wage fixing mechanisms are also discussed. For the purpose of comparison, reference is also made to wage fixing though sectoral determinations, although the focus of the dissertation is on collective labour law. In the international comparison, the development and functioning of the Australian and French wage-setting regulations are discussed, as well as policies that could be considered for application in South Africa. Collective bargaining, and in particular centralised collective bargaining, plays a significant role in South African labour law. Since South Africa does not have a national minimum wage, centralised bargaining remains the main form of fixing minimum wages, apart from sectoral determinations. In the conclusion and recommendations, possible solutions to the shortcomings in our centralised ii bargaining system, as well as alternative means of setting minimum wages are considered.
