The Minimum Wage and Gender Differences in the Employment of Young Adults M.A. Thesis, California State University - Fullerton, 1997 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: UMI - University Microfilms, Bell and Howell Information and Learning Keyword(s): Gender Differences; Industrial Relations; Minimum Wage; Wages, Women This study analyzes the possible differences in the effects of minimum wage increases on the probabilities of continued employment for young female and male adults. The study is conducted by using panel data on individuals collected from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth. The findings show that the effects of increased federal minimum wages in 1990 and 1991 on the probability of continued employment were statistically insignificant and small for young female adults who were earning near the current minimum wage. However, minimum wage increases had small but sometimes positive and statistically significant effects on employment probabilities of young male workers. Employment probabilities of low-wage young adult female workers were reduced when the federal minimum wage increased in 1990 and 1991. Meanwhile, employment probabilities of young adult male workers showed a slight improvement when the minimum wage increased in 1990 and 1991. |
