However, there are few studies about effects of minimum wages on skills, prices and profits. Controversial findings of effects on wage and income increase, working hours, and inequality are provided and discussed. Minimum wages are generally set at a low level by regional governments with no strong incentive to implement any, and no enforcement.Text1 digital file (32 p. : ill.)application/pdfenECONOMIC IMPLICATIONSMINIMUM WAGEWAGE POLICYPLANNED ECONOMYCHINAFAR EAST ASIAINCOMELIBERALIZATIONHOUSEHOLD INCOMEPresentation
