Abstract

Abstract We examine whether the effects of the introduction of a minimum wage on low-pay employment duration in Germany in 2015 are heterogeneous by gender. In order to disentangle the effects on women and men, we estimate a duration model with unobserved heterogeneity in which we allow gender differences and differences before and after the introduction of the minimum wage. We find that the reform does affect women and men differently, in particular, it mainly increases men’s job attachment. These gender differences in job attachment are the strongest for full-time employment. In consequence, although the minimum wage may have been set up as a gender-neutral instrument, in an indirect way, it affects women and men differently. We discuss different mechanisms that could account for our result and carry out several robustness checks.

最低工资对工作依恋的影响:性别视角

摘要:我们研究了2015年德国最低工资对低薪就业时间的影响是否因性别而异。为了理清对女性和男性的影响，我们估计了一个具有未观察到异质性的持续时间模型，其中我们允许性别差异以及引入最低工资之前和之后的差异。我们发现，改革对女性和男性的影响确实不同，特别是，它主要增加了男性的工作依恋。这些性别差异在全职工作中表现得最为明显。因此，虽然最低工资可能是作为一项性别中立的工具而设立的，但它以间接的方式对妇女和男子产生了不同的影响。我们讨论了不同的机制，可以解释我们的结果，并进行了几个稳健性检查。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
