Resumo(s)
Nowadays, the minimum wage has been instituted in most
countries. This paper contributes to the vast literature regarding
the impact of the minimum wage on employment. The present
study analyzes worker flows at both the firm and worker level,
while also focusing on the share of youth worker flows. The results
suggest that for continuing firms the minimum wage increases
worker flows, especially hires, which indicates a rise in
employment for these firms. Interestingly, the impact on younger
workers is very similar. Another important conclusion from this
study is that opening and closing firms during minimum wage
hikes seem to have a higher share of young workers.
