摘要

21世纪初，德国的月工资不平等现象继续加剧，这主要是由于非全日制就业比例上升。2010年之后，不平等现象又回到了2000年的水平。最近的下降约有一半是由于2015年实行了国家最低工资。虽然最低工资对就业的影响可以忽略不计，但我们发现现有劳动力的工资增长强劲。最低工资降低了德国东部和西部的工资不平等，但也导致了东西部工资差异的趋同。劳动收入的增加并没有被社会福利的减少所抵消。

Wage Inequality in Germany after the Minimum Wage Introduction

Monthly wage inequality in Germany continued to increase in the early 2000s, which is mainly explained by a rising part-time employment share. After 2010, inequality returned to the level of 2000. About half of the recent decrease is due to the introduction of the national minimum wage in 2015. While employment effects of the minimum wage are negligible, we find strong wage increases among the existing workforce. The minimum wage lowered wage inequality within eastern and western Germany but also led to a convergence of the east-west wage differential. The increased labor incomes were not offset by decreasing social benefits.
