The Commission made the following recommendations, including: that the adult minimum wage rate should increase from £5.73 to £5.80 in October 2009; that youth development should increase from £4.77 to £4.83 and the rate for 16-17 year olds from £3.53 to £3.57 from October 2009. Also, that 21 year olds should be entitled to the adult rate of the National Minimum Wage and that a minimum wage for apprentices should be introduced under the National Minimum Wage.

Book Synopsis Low-Wage Work in the United Kingdom by : Caroline LLoyd
Download or read book Low-Wage Work in the United Kingdom written by Caroline LLoyd and published by Russell Sage Foundation. This book was released on 2008-04-03 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United Kingdom's labor market policies place it in a kind of institutional middle ground between the United States and continental Europe. Low pay grew sharply between the late 1970s and the mid-1990s, in large part due to the decline of unions and collective bargaining and the removal of protections for the low paid. The changes instituted by Tony Blair's New Labour government since 1997, including the introduction of the National Minimum Wage, halted the growth in low pay but have not reversed it. Low-Wage Work in the United Kingdom explains why the current level of low-paying work remains one of the highest in Europe. The authors argue that the failure to deal with low pay reflects a policy approach which stressed reducing poverty, but also centers on the importance of moving people off benefits and into work, even at low wages. The U.K. government has introduced a version of the U.S. welfare to work policies and continues to stress the importance of a highly flexible and competitive labor market. A central policy theme has been that education and training can empower people to both enter work and to move into better paying jobs. The case study research reveals the endemic nature of low paid work and the difficulties workers face in escaping from the bottom end of the jobs ladder. However, compared to the United States, low paid workers in the United Kingdom do benefit from in-work social security benefits, targeted predominately at those with children, and entitlements to non-pay benefits such as annual leave, maternity and sick pay, and crucially, access to state-funded health care. Low-Wage Work in the United Kingdom skillfully illustrates the way that the interactions between government policies, labor market institutions, and the economy have ensured that low pay remains a persistent problem within the United Kingdom.

Book Synopsis Myth and Measurement by : David Card

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From David Card, winner of the Nobel Prize in Economics, and Alan Krueger, a provocative challenge to conventional wisdom about the minimum wage David Card and Alan B. Krueger have already made national news with their pathbreaking research on the minimum wage. Here they present a powerful new challenge to the conventional view that higher minimum wages reduce jobs for low-wage workers. In a work that has important implications for public policy as well as for the direction of economic research, the authors put standard economic theory to the test, using data from a series of recent episodes, including the 1992 increase in New Jersey's minimum wage, the 1988 rise in California's minimum wage, and the 1990–91 increases in the federal minimum wage. In each case they present a battery of evidence showing that increases in the minimum wage lead to increases in pay, but no loss in jobs. A distinctive feature of Card and Krueger's research is the use of empirical methods borrowed from the natural sciences, including comparisons between the "treatment" and "control" groups formed when the minimum wage rises for some workers but not for others. In addition, the authors critically reexamine the previous literature on the minimum wage and find that it, too, lacks support for the claim that a higher minimum wage cuts jobs. Finally, the effects of the minimum wage on family earnings, poverty outcomes, and the stock market valuation of low-wage employers are documented. Overall, this book calls into question the standard model of the labor market that has dominated economists' thinking on the minimum wage. In addition, it will shift the terms of the debate on the minimum wage in Washington and in state legislatures throughout the country. With a new preface discussing new data, Myth and Measurement continues to shift the terms of the debate on the minimum wage.

Book Synopsis The Fundamentals of Minimum Wage Fixing by : François Eyraud
Download or read book The Fundamentals of Minimum Wage Fixing written by François Eyraud and published by International Labour Organization. This book was released on 2005 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Download or read book National minimum wage written by Low Pay Commission and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2010-03-25 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Low Pay Commission was again asked to monitor and evaluate the impact of the minimum wage and to consider its effect on different groups of workers. Additionally the Commission considers the detailed arrangements for an apprentice minimum wage. Data limitations prevent assessment of the 2009 minimum wage upratings, but the report finds that the 2008 upratings continue to have a significant influence on wages at the bottom of the earnings distribution. The numbers paid at the adult minimum wage rose to nearly 750,000 (3.2 per cent of all adult jobs) in April 2009. This year it has been difficult to separate out any potential impact of the minimum wage from that of the recession more generally. The low-paying industries experienced a smaller proportional fall in jobs than across the economy as a whole, but small firms suffered more than larger organisations. All workers in low-paying sectors remain vulnerable. The Commission pays particular attention to young people, who have experienced greater hardship in the employment market. The Commission's recommendations for October 2010 are: adult minimum wage to increase from £5.80 to £5.93; youth development rate to increase from £4.83 to £4.92; 16-17 year old rate to increase from £3.57 to £3.64; apprentice rate for all employed apprentices currently exempt from the national minimum wage to be set at £2.50.
