This paper examines the theoretical argument for the adverse minimum wage effects and presents empirical evidence on the effects of minimum wages on the training of young male workers. The author finds that an effective minimum wage diminishes training in two ways. First, to the extent that the minimum wage results in lost employment, it deprives the disemployed workers access to training. This outcome is a definite side effect of decreased employment caused by the minimum wage. Second, even those workers who manage to remain employed at wages near the minimum wage may experience a reduction in on-the-job training. The second effect is the primary focus of this study. The author concludes that there should be youth differentials of exemptions in the minimum wage rates. By allowing young workers to pay for their training by accepting reduced current wages, youth differentials would help to alleviate the adverse minimum wage effects on future earnings.

We investigate the effects of maternity leave coverage on women’s post-birth wages, job tenure, and labor market attachment. We pay particular attention to unobservable characteristics that are correlated with maternity leave coverage and that affect labor market outcomes. We use a control sample, as well as a range of control variables, to address unobserved heterogeneity. We find evidence of substantial selection based on unobserved heterogeneity. Maternity leave effects on the three outcomes are found to be small and shortlived. This finding is understandable given that most policies in the United States allow leaves for only 12 weeks at most.
