摘要

在本研究中，我们利用年度劳动力调查（2012-20 年）中的个人层面数据，研究了越南最低工资的影响。在此期间，平均实际最低工资每年增长约 4%。总体而言，我们没有发现最低工资对就业和月工资收入的显著影响。然而，我们发现最低工资对工人的总工时有相当大的负面影响。最低工资每增加 1%，每周工作时间就会减少 0.38%。由于工资总额保持不变，工时减少导致每小时收入增加。最低工资增加 1%，每小时收入增加 0.32%。

The Impact of Minimum Wages on Employment: Evidence From a Lower Middle-Income Country

In this study, we examine the impact of minimum wages in Vietnam using individual-level data from the annual Labor Force Surveys (2012–20). During this period, the average real minimum wage increased by around 4% per year. Overall, we do not find significant effects from minimum wages on employment and monthly wage earnings. However, we find a considerable negative effect on workers' total working hours. Working hours per week are reduced by 0.38% for a 1% increase in the minimum wage. Since total wages remain unchanged, a reduction in working hours results in an increase in hourly earnings. A 1% increase in the minimum wage leads to a 0.32% increase in hourly earnings.
