This paper analyses the effects of a large reform in the minimum wages affecting youth workers in New Zealand since 2001. Prior to this reform, a youth minimum wage, applying to 16–19 year-olds, was set at 60% of the adult minimum. The reform had two components. First, it lowered the...
Professor Mayhew said employers could justify lower wages during a training period - when young workers are less productive - "but I think for national legislation to assume that's true for all 18 to 20-year-olds is dodgy, quite frankly". Some employer groups have previously said they wouldn...

Every year, the Bureau of Labor Statistics does a study to know who is living off the minimum wage. Relatively, there are only a few American workers who make the federal minimum wage. This is because several states of America have their own higher minimum wages. Studies revealed that in ...
