Is a higher minimum wage associated with a higher youth employment rate? A panel data analysis
Original language description
The successful integration of young members of the workforce into the labour market has been a topic of great interest for European decision makers since the onset of the recent financial and economic crisis. Ten years after this challenging event the employment rate still remains at lower levels especially among young members of the workforce. Although in EU member states, particularly in Central and Eastern Europe, the statutory minimum wage has recently been increased, there are concerns among decision makers that this policy may have negative effects on employment. This paper examines the effect of the minimum wage on the regional youth employment rate, using a panel of 628 NUTS II regions from various European states, during 2008–2014. We began by using the methodology introduced by Neumark and Wascher, where labour market outcomes at regional levels are related to the relative minimum wage (Kaitz index). We have estimated a canonical equation based on the Stata version 13.0 software package. Our results indicate that increases in the minimum wage have a significant effect on employment.
