abstract: 'Minimum wage raises debate and controversy since its introduction.
|
|
|
|
Proponents reported its justification in particular related to the task
|
|
|
|
of ensuring income to workers, which guarantees them their basic needs.
|
|
|
|
Opponents argue the impacts of rising unemployment. Legislative and
|
|
|
|
institutional setting of the lower limit for wages in the economy does
|
|
|
|
not allow the wages of certain employees to decline to the level of
|
|
|
|
equilibrium wages in the event of adverse economic activity, which may
|
|
|
|
cause barriers in employing particular risk groups in the labor market.
|
|
|
|
The modification of the minimum wage is a serious problem, since it
|
|
|
|
represents the fundamental elements of the macroeconomic and
|
|
|
|
macro-regulation in the country, the impact on the revenue policy, price
|
|
|
|
policy, pension policy, as well as their own employees and employers and
|
|
|
|
other groups. The aim of this paper is to examine the correlation
|
|
|
|
between the increase in the minimum wage and the unemployment rate in
|
|
|
|
the Slovak Republic with a focus on specific groups in the labor market
|
|
|
|
and regional differentiation. Our contribution contains a justification
|
|
|
|
of the existence and function of the minimum with a proposal for its
|
|
|
|
modification, while it also focuses on the future shape of minimum wages
|
|
|
|
in Slovakia within the changed socio-economic conditions. Consumption
|
|
|
|
and investments are the driving force of the economy but the investment
|
|
|
|
is to some extent driven by the anticipated consumption. Only household
|
|
|
|
consumption accounted for a significant upward impetus to the Slovak
|
|
|
|
economy, which would not be possible without increasing the employment
|
|
|
|
and wage growth.'
