Raghunath, Madhu M. 1974. "A living wage : strategies for implementation of the minimun wage : the case of the Indian beedi industry." Thesis, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001. http://hdl.handle.net/1721.1/69430.
Full textIncludes bibliographical references (leaves 100-103).
92% of India's total workforce (approximately 320 million workers) is employed in the unorganized sector. Out of these, 4.4 million workers are employed by the beedi (indigenous cigarette) industry. Annually, this industry contributes nearly 13% of the total indirect taxes to the central government. The beedi industry is highly mobile in nature. It is also one of the most exploitative labor intensive industries in India. The industry thrives on the cheap cost of production and locates in regions that have low wages. Most of the production in the beedi industry is carried out by subcontracting, where the workers are exploited in terms of low wages, lack of social security benefits and poor working conditions. In 1966, the Government of India enacted the Beedi and Cigar Workers (Employment of Conditions) Act to protect the workers from exploitation, provide the workers with minimum wages and social security benefits. The Act allows a state government to fix its own minimum wages. This has resulted in varying rates of minimum wages across states. States that have enforced higher minimum wages have witnessed an industrial flight of the beedi firms, leaving behind thousands of unemployed workers. Further, the enforcement and implementation of the Act has been very ineffective. The report identifies successful strategies for implementation of minimum wages in the beedi sector by analyzing the cases of the Kerala Dinesh Beedi Cooperative and the Self Employed Women's Association. These organizations have been successful in their approaches because they were able to 1) organize beedi workers into trade unions and cooperatives, 2) garner political support for their movement, and 3) compete with other beedi producers in the country. The report recommends that implementation of the minimum wages in the beedi industry in India can be achieved by a) developing a national minimum wage policy for the beedi industry, and b) increased cooperation between the trade unions, government, NGO's, political parties, employers and beedi workers.

Full textGrowth and labour market forecast in OECD countries remains bleak for 2013, especially for youth. The modest employment recovery in 2011 did not continue in 2012: youth unemployment rates stagnated at 15.7% in 2014 (OECD: Employment Outlook, 2013). This is well above pre-crisis rates, 11.8% in 2007. According to the OECD, the modest increase in GDP forecasted for 2013 (1.2%) and the subsequent slow recovery in 2014 (2.3%) will be insufficient to create employment and reduce unemployment in a substantial way.It is particularly alarming that one every 11 young people are now unemployed, not in full time studies or in employment. Also youth have lower access to unemployment benefits that adults, for lack of employment history (OECD, 2010, off to a Good Start, Jobs for Youth Synthesis Report). These trends have contributed to higher rates of poverty and social exclusion and increasing polarization in society and in the labour market. For instance, living standards decreased in 15 Member States in 2010 with respect to the year before (Eurostat, March 2013). These issues represent tremendous social and economic costs to society, in terms of worsening social dislocation, skills loss, violence and crime, as much as they denote important failures to get unemployed back to productive and sustainable jobs, and to protect youth at risk of poverty. Aggregate demand is low and this certainly explains high levels of youth unemployment rates. However a number of barriers may prevent that demand translate into higher employment for youth. In particular, vocational training might not be well adapted to changing labour market requirements. In addition, there could be demand-side obstacles to youth employment. Employers, for example, might be faced with high social security contributions for low-paid work, or face high minimum wages. There might be insufficient support to help the young unemployed to find work. Finally, jobs prospects for youth are hampered by limited regional mobility in some countries of Central and Eastern Europe and South Europe (OECD, Jobs for Youth, Synthesis Report, 2010). This thesis seeks to measure whether high levels of minimum wages could explain rising unemployment rates for youth in OECD countries, other things equal. It also looks at whether other labour market institutions, such as strict Employment Protection Legislation (EPL) can explain low employment levels (for youth). It takes into account also the role paid by active labour market policy, collective agreement and a youth sub-minimum wage for 2 youth. The analysis uses a cross-section of panel data on minimum wages over the period 2000 to 2011, while from 2000 to 2008 for others employment protection legislation, and from 2004 to 2011 for active labour market policies indictors, including 22 OECD. Following Bassanini and Duval(2010), a panel data model has been used including GMM indicator, using the same data base but including different time period. The main conclusions are that, minimum wage, measured with Kaitz Index, has a negative impact on youth employment. Additionally, some ALMP’S seem to show a positive effect on youth employment(elasticity); this is a very important thing mainly because it has never been estimated in previous paper(only the theory was able to support it). Considering labor market institutions, their impact depends by which one we consider: union density confirms its negative impact on youth employment rate, while on the other hand EPL variable using OECD definition confirms its positive effect on youth employment. ALMP’S have a great influence on youth employment rate, several variables are positive and significant, while other variable included in the model only in part confirms previous literature. The last part of the second chapter ends with a little discussion about gender discrimination in the issue of youth employment too. As results show, also if the sign of the variable is always the same (confirming both literature and the goodness of the model), however the magnitude tends to be stronger (in negative meaning), for female estimates...

Full textMinimum wage is an important tool of social policy. It consists of four chapters: The first chapter presents the institutions of the minimum wage and the main results in the literature concerning the effects of minimum wages on the various economic and social variables in developing countries. 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

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.

Full textThis 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.

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

Full textThis 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

Full textThis work consists of three parts seeking to analyze the impact of minimum wages on the French departments of America's economy by limiting the effects on the distribution of incomes and economic growth.In the first chapter, the focus is an overview of income inequality as they exist in the Antilles and Guiana, in comparison with the situation in France. Income inequalities remain high between occupational groups in the DFA. The average salary of all employees in mainland France is higher than the DFAThe second chapter first presents the historical and regulatory aspects that characterize the French minimum wage and that of other European countries. SMIC is the fourth highest minimum wage in Europe, and France developed country with the highest proportion of employees the minimum wage. In the French Departments of America, employees paid the minimum wage, many more in proportion than at national level, are most often women, youth, low-skilled people employed part-time in the service sectors and trade. It also highlights the impact of the minimum wage and its revaluation on the formation of wages and labor costs. SMIC diffusion effects are small and temporary, varying from 0.1 to 0.2% in both macroeconomic and microeconomic approach. The increases in the minimum wage lead to higher labor costs partly offset by expense reductions granted to companies. The third chapter contributes to highlighting the interaction between the minimum wage, economic growth and poverty in the Antillean-Guyanese society. It turns out that the dynamism of the island economy has all but erased all living differentials between overseas departments and metropolitan France, despite the alignment of the minimum wage and various benefits. The simulation on data from the 2006 survey of “Budget of families” shows that the proportion of employees with the minimum wage is low in the bottom of the income scale. These employees are spread over the entire scale of living. SMIC has an important place in household disposable income, including the top of the income scale.In conclusion, the high level of the minimum wage in the French departments of America led to the maintenance of a large number of employees paid near the minimum wage. Despite cuts in social security contributions lowering the cost of SMIC, departments remain areas with high unemployment and poverty. Moreover, wage inequality increased between the poorest and the wealthiest individuals in these areas. Rising unemployment is an aggravating factor of the increase in inequality. Since the results of our study make it possible to affirm SMIC is not the best tool to fight again wage inequalities and poverty, they also raise the question of a SMIC DOM linked with the real conditions and capacities of the overseas economies

Full textThis 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
