If the minimum wage were as good as its advocates claim, this would be the most efficient way of eliminating poverty. The latter is still with us. This is a pernicious law that raises no one's wages, apart from very temporarily, but creates unemployment for unskilled workers. This paper criticizes arguments in favor of such legislation such as that from monopsony. It disparages econometric studies which purport to demonstrate the benefits of this legislation.
"The 'just about managing'. 'Hardworking families'. 'Alarm-clock Britain'. In recent years British political discourse has been filled with these slogans, as politicians claim to speak on behalf of families who are in work, but struggling to get by. This book allows us to hear from some of these families directly. At a time when the impact of austerity is more relevant than ever, Just Managing? cuts through the debates and sloganeering to give some of the real people behind the headlines and statistics a chance to tell their stories. It tracks the lives of thirty working families in Liverpool over one year, as they struggle to manage on incomes at or around the National Minimum Wage. Their accounts are placed within the economic and political context that has shaped their experiences and that of millions of other working families across the country. This book is required reading for anyone seeking to understand what life is like at the sharp end of 'austerity Britain'."

But the dominant factor to fixed minimum wages rate are expenditure need satisfaction and ability to pay of marginal company.

If this ratio near or equal to one hundred procent, it is meant the labour welfare is enough. The fact in Bali Provinces shows that the ratio of minimum wages rate to expenditure need satisfaction are not reach one hundred procent. But its ratio was increased from 2006 to 2007.

En 2015, le gouvernement conservateur crée un national living wage (salaire national « permettant de vivre ») avec l'objectif d'atteindre 60 % du salaire médian en 2020. En 2019, un autre gouvernement conservateur porte ce ratio aux deux tiers du salaire médian d'ici 2024. Comment expliquer ces choix alors que le parti conservateur avait combattu en 1998 la création par le gouvernement du New Labour d'un salaire minimum d'un niveau bien inférieur ? L'objectif de long terme est de briser le cercle vicieux « bas salaires – basses qualifications – faible productivité » dans lequel le Royaume-Uni s'est enfermé. L'objectif immédiat est de réaliser des économies sur les prestations sociales en transférant aux entreprises la responsabilité de rendre le travail payant. Si le recul est trop limité pour mesurer l'impact à moyen terme, un premier résultat émerge : la forte augmentation du salaire minimum n'a pas provoqué de choc négatif sur l'emploi, mais elle a eu peu d'impact sur le taux de pauvreté.
International audience ; Having committed itself to introducing a national minimum wage, the Labour Party is now faced with the difficult task of setting a satisfactory rate. Responsibility for this has been given to the Low Pay Commission which will have to decide exactly what the minimum wage is supposed to achieve before calculating the cash equivalent. The Labour Party fought the 1997 election pledging a fairer distribution of wealth and the national minimum wage is only one part of their overall policy designed to optimise interaction between social and economic policy. The minimum wage is no magic wand capable of banishing household poverty with one wave. If Labour wants to ensure its success, they should acknowledge that past failures will take time to repair. The minimum wage's future potential will largely depend on their ability to cut their coat according to their cloth. ; Le parti travailliste s'est engagé à instaurer un salaire minimum interprofessionnel et doit à présent décider du taux auquel celui-ci sera établi. La responsabilité de cette tâche délicate sera confiée à la Commission des Bas Salaires qui devra définir les buts du salaire minimum avant de déterminer le taux horaire correspondant. La campagne électorale en 1997 fut l'occasion pour le parti travailliste de se porter garant d'une distribution plus équitable des richesses nationales et le salaire minimum ne constitue qu'une partie de sa politique globale dont l'objectif est de rendre optimale l'interaction entre politique sociale et politique économique. Le salaire minimum n'est pas une baguette magique capable d'un seul coup de mettre un terme à la pauvreté dont souffrent certaines familles. Si le parti travailliste souhaite que cette initiative soit un succès, il devra reconnaître que les échecs du passé ne pourront être effacés immédiatement. L'évolution potentielle du salaire minimum dépendra en effet de la manière dont les travaillistes sauront gouverner selon leurs promesses électorales.

International audience ; In France, the first step taken to help low‑paid workers came in 1848 under the Second Republic. Parliament decreed that the wages of subcontracted labour were to be investigated if the competent authorities deemed that workers were being unfairly remunerated. Fifty years later, wages paid on all government subcontracting were established "at the local average rate".
