abstract: 'This paper examines the potential effects on inequality and poverty of
|
|
|
|
|
a
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
minimum wage increase, based on a microsimulation model that captures
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the details of household composition and the income tax and welfare
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
benefit system and allows for labour supply responses. Results suggest
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
that, largely due to the composition of household incomes, a policy of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
increasing the minimum wage has a relatively small effect on the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
inequality of income per adult equivalent person, and a money metric
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
utility measure, using several inequality indices. Hence, the minimum
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
wage policy does not appear to be particularly well targeted, largely
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
due to many low wage earners being secondary earners in higher income
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
households, while many low income households have no wage earners at
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
all. These results are reinforced when allowing for wage spillovers
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
further up the wage distribution. Nevertheless, a minimum wage increase
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
can have a more substantial effect on some poverty measures for sole
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
parents in employment.'
