dc.description.abstractIn Costa Rica, El Salvador, and Nicaragua increases in minimum wages have a positive effect on the wages of a subset of mostly full-time workers in large firms. However, minimum wage increases are unlikely to improve the wages of the lowest-paid workers. Evidence suggests there are benefits in creating policies for enhancing compliance with minimum wages, improving incomes in the informal sector where minimum wages do not apply, and policies that aim at increasing long-term productivity of workers. The brochure is a one-page publication, part of IDRC’s “Globalization, Growth and Poverty” Program Initiative.en
