Abstract

[eng] Six models are estimated, incorporating three possible explanatory factors for non-employment which may be substitutable or complementary. They are the weakness of financial incentives, lower productivity than the cost of the minimum wage and labour market shortcomings. The study of participatory behaviour uses a microsimulation model based on the 1998 Taxable Income Survey, while the impact of minimum wage censorship is estimated using 1997 and 1998 Employment Survey data. The study, conducted on one-adult households, shows that the best fit is obtained by models which assume a strict complementarity between minimum wage censorship and participation. A10% increase, through transfers, in the available income of a female worker earning the minimum wage would induce a10% increase in the probability of employment. [fre] Nous estimons six modèles où interviennent d’une manière tantôt substituable tantôt complémentaire trois facteurs de non-emploi : la faiblesse des incitations financières, une productivité inférieure au coût du Smic et des dysfonctionnements du marché du travail. L’étude du comportement de participation s’appuie sur un modèle de microsimulation basé sur l’enquête Revenus Fiscaux 1998, tandis que l’estimation de la censure au SMIC utilise les données des enquêtes Emploi 1997 et 1998. Les modèles, estimés sur les isolés, qui s’ajustent le mieux aux données, sont ceux qui posent une complémentarité entre la censure au SMIC et la participation. Une augmentation de 10% du revenu disponible de la Smicarde sous forme de transferts se traduirait par un gain de probabilité d’emploi de 10%.
