| Abstract: | Using the British Household Panel Survey, this study estimates the impact of the national minimum wage (or NMW), introduced in Apr. 1999, on the work-related training of low-wage workers. Two 'treatment groups' are used - those workers who explicitly stating being affected by the NMW and those workers whose derived 1998 wages were below the minimum. Using difference-in-differences techniques for the period 1998 to 2000, there is no evidence found that the introduction of the minimum wage reduced the training of affected workers and some evidence that it increased it. |
