Abstract

A cikk a 2001. évi minimálbér-emelés rövid távú foglalkoztatási hatását vizsgálja három olyan, erősen érintett területen, ahol az elemzéshez szükséges adatok rendelkezésre állnak. A számítások szerint az emelés hatására 2000-2001-ben éves összehasonlításban legalább 3,5 százalékkal csökkent a foglalkoztatás az 5-20 fős kisvállalatok körében; a minimálbéren (túl)fizetett munkavállalók kétszer olyan valószínűséggel vesztették el az állásukat 2001 második-negyedik negyedévében - átlagosan hétéves folyamatos munkaviszonyt követően -, mint a náluk kicsit jobban fizettek; és 2001-ben, majd 2002-ben is erőteljesen romlott az alacsony bérű segélyezett munkanélküliek elhelyezkedési esélye.* Journal of Economic Literature (JEL) kód: J38, P23, R23.
