abstract: 'We study the causal impact of the minimum wage on labor market outcomes,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
household consumption, inequality and poverty in Thailand by relying on
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
policy variation in minimum wages over time across provinces. We find
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
that minimum-wage increases have a large and significant impact on the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
likelihood of working in the uncovered sector among workers with
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
elementary education. However, the impact is very small and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
insignificant among other labor market groups. In contrast, the minimum
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
wage has large positive effects on the formal sector wages of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
low-earning workers, such as the young, elderly and low educated.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Increases in the minimum wage are associated with reductions in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
household poverty and consumption inequality at the bottom half of the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
distribution.'
