Abstract

This policy brief is drawn from research regarding minimum wages (MW), wage disparities and youth employment in the Mekong region; labour markets; skills acquisition; and policy recommendations for Thailand, Vietnam, Myanmar, Laos, and Cambodia. Regulation, enforcement and compliance differ vastly across sectors and provinces. The paper broadly outlines issues and results of employment studies in the region.
