摘要
Recent studies of the French experience find a small, negative impact of the minimum wage on young persons' employment, a finding which has led to a political debate over the role of sub-minimum wage rates for youths. The current study initially aimed simply to update previous work. However, the employment series for young persons has been revised in a non-negligible manner and the results obtained show that the impact of the minimum wage is far less robust than previously thought. The desirability of sub-minimum rates for young persons would appear questionable.
