Excerpt from Minimum-Wage Legislation in the United States and Foreign Countries The minimum-wage law, as it has been known in recent American discussion, and as it is usually understood in Great Britain, Australia, and New Zealand, does not refer to a law in which is fixed a single rate below which no worker may be employed, although such laws are in existence in most of the. Australasian States. The minimum wage, as understood in this country and Great Britain, is a wage fixed by some agency created by law, after due investigation has been made. Two methods have grown up in Australia and New Zealand, one or the other of which has been followed in practically all of the States where minimum-wage legislation has been put in force. In Victoria, since the enactment of the first law, July 28, 1896, minimum wages have been established by wages boards, made up of equal numbers of representatives of employers and employees, pre sided over by an impartial chairman, who has a deciding vote. These wages boards are set up for each trade or industry and are required to discuss conditions and to determine by agreement the minimum wages to be paid in the various processes and occupations in their own indus try. These minimum rates, when fixed and published, are for the time being legally binding upon all employers in the industry within the area for which the board is appointed. This method was intro duced in South Australia in 1900, in Queensland in 1908, in Tasmania in 1911, but some modification has been made in more recent legislation. A second method of fixing the minimum wage has been followed in New Zealand since 1894. The compulsory arbitration law of New Zealand, adopted primarily for the prevention of strikes and lockouts conferred upon the arbitration court the authority to fix the condi.

This manual draws on the ILO's comprehensive database containing the principal legal provisions and minimum wage fixing mechanisms in 100 countries. The minimum wage has had a long and turbulent history, and this study sheds light on its intricacies by providing a thorough overview of the institutions and practices in different countries. It outlines the main topics for debate concerning the effects of minimum wages on major social and economic variables such as employment, wage inequality, and poverty. The book considers the various procedures countries use for implementation, including the criteria employed to fix the minimum wage, and how they are linked to specific country objectives. It then measures the efficiency of the minimum wage, and focuses on its impact on employment as a major political issue. For the benefit of non-specialists, the validity of econometric models and their results are examined.

Excerpt from Minimum Wage Legislation It is the aim of the following report to present in brief and convenient form the main facts concerning the enactment and operation of minimum wage laws in this country as well as in foreign countries where the acts are similar in purpose to our American legislation on this subject. It is not the aim of this report to discuss the economic aspects of the legal minimum wage. But included in one section are a few of the more important representative opinions concerning the actual operation and effect of minimum wage laws in those countries where they have been in operation sufficiently long to produce measurable results.

"Despite the existence of minimum wage legislation in most Latin American countries, there is little empirical evidence demonstrating its impact on the distribution of wages. In this study the authors analyze cross-country data for 19 Latin American and Caribbean (LAC) countries to gain an understanding of if and how minimum wages affect wage distributions in LAC countries. Although there is no single minimum wage institution in the LAC region, the authors find regional trends. Minimum wages affect the wage distribution in both the formal and, especially, the informal sector, both at the minimum wage and at multiples of the minimum. The minimum does not uniformly benefit low-wage workers: in countries where the minimum wage is relatively low compared to mean wages, the minimum wage affects the more disadvantaged segments of the labor force, namely informal sector workers, women, young and older workers, and the low skilled, but in countries where the minimum wage is relatively high compared to the wage distribution, it primarily affects wages of the high skilled. This indicates that the minimum does not generally lift the wages of all, but instead, it offers a wage into which employers can "lock in" wages that are already near that level. Thus, minimum wage legislation is more far-reaching than originally thought, affecting both the uncovered informal sector and those earning above the minimum. In addition, the relative level of the minimum wage is important for determining whose wages are affected. "--World Bank web site.

Excerpt from A Legal Minimum Wage The present study of minimum wage legislation is an introduction to a larger study which the writer intends to make in the near future. Anything like a complete study of minimum wage legislation, at least from the stand point of its positive economic effects, both direct and indirect, is impossible in the present state of our infor mation. This is especially true as, regards the efiects of minimum wage legislation in England and America. Min imum wage legislation is largely in the experimental stage in both countries as yet. It is expected that the Report of the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics on minimum wage in Oregon, which is now in course of preparation, will give us precise data in regard to the economic effects of this form of legislation in that State. The writer regrets that he could not avail himself of the excellent report on Minimum Wage Legislation, in the United States and Foreign Countries which was published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics as the present work was in the press. Limited as is our positive knowledge in regard to the efiects of minimum wage legislation a clear presentation of such facts as we have cannot but prove helpful to those who are interested in this new social reform measure. If, as the writer believes minimum wage legislation is a useful remedy for the low wages of women and minor workers, much good will be done by educating the public as to its necessity and feasibility. This was the inspiring thought from the beginning to the end of this study. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This paper documents a new database of labor market regulations during 1980-2005 in 91 countries, including low-, middle- and high-income countries, and contains information on unemployment insurance systems, minimum wage regulations, and employment protection legislation. In this paper, we provide details regarding the data, methodology and sources. Descriptive statistics indicate that there exists substantial heterogeneity in labor market institutions across regions and income groupings, and that much of the sample variation is driven by institutional changes over time in low- and middle-income countries. All indicators are at an annual frequency, allowing for the dating of major changes in regulation, and are based on data from a variety of sources, including the ILO, OECD and national agencies.
