dc.description.abstractThe role played by minimum wage policy in Brazil and India is very different due to the contrasting nature, coverage, structure and implementation of the systems. For instance, while Brazil has an annually adjusted unique national minimum wage for all workers with a comparatively high level of enforcement, in India, there are large numbers of minimum wages for different occupations, varying between States, which makes the system of minimum wages extremely complicated, and enforcement is very uneven. This paper examines the system of minimum wages in both countries and compares the impact of wage policy on labour market inequalities.en
