A study on the impacts of minimum wage and direct cash transfers in Brazil on the country's income inequality but especially the way the policies interact with spatial inequalities.
|
||
It finds that incomes between regions have converged during the time frame and overall the cash transfers under the 'Bolsa Familia' programme and minimum wage were accounting for 26.2% of the effect.
|
||
Minimum wage contributed 16.6% of the effect to overall Gini reduction between the regions while cash transfers accounted for 9.6% of the effect.
|
||
The authors argue that this highlights the way even non-spatial policies can have a positive (or, with worse targeting or selection, negative) influence on spatial inequalities,
|
||
as transfers occuring predominantly to poorer regions and minimum wages having larger impacts in those regions created quasi-regional effects without being explictly adressed in the policies.
|
||
Some limitations include limited underlying data only making it possible to estimate the cash transfer impacts for the analysis endline,
|
||
and minimum wage effects having to be constructed from the effects wages equal to minimum-wage.
