abstract: 'There is a vast literature that estimates the effect of the minimum wage
|
|
|
|
on wage inequality in various countries. However, as the minimum wage
|
|
|
|
directly affects nonlabor income of families in some countries (in the
|
|
|
|
Brazilian case via the benefits of the pension system and of certain
|
|
|
|
social programs), this article extends the empirical analysis by
|
|
|
|
studying the effects of the minimum wage on the level of inequality of
|
|
|
|
household income as a whole. To accomplish that we employ a
|
|
|
|
decomposition method that gauges the contribution of the increases in
|
|
|
|
the minimum wage that occurred in recent decades in Brazil through the
|
|
|
|
labor and nonlabor sources of household income. The results show that
|
|
|
|
the minimum wage had a contribution of 64 percent to the observed fall
|
|
|
|
in income inequality between 1995 and 2014 and that pensions were the
|
|
|
|
most relevant channel over this period.'
