tiền lương tối thiểu không cải thiện tình trạng đói nghèo và làm giới trẻ mất việc

The idea the NMW (national minimum wage) can be safely raised stems from the belief that it has not had a negative effect on employment. The consensus view, however, is that minimum wages at moderate levels have a small negative impact on employment and that the level of the minimum wage matters. A recent HM Treasury submission to the LPC, for example, estimated that raising the NMW to £7 per hour would increase unemployment by 14,000 by 2018/19 (lương tối thiểu tăng, thất nghiệp tăng). There is also evidence of reduced working hours (giờ làm việc giảm) in response to NMW increases. International research suggests many of the negative effects operate after a long time period through reducing new job creation (giảm tạo công ăn việc làm mới).
Employment impacts of increases in the minimum wage are likely to disproportionately affect the young, the unskilled, the long-term unemployed and those in lower productivity regions (ảnh hưởng tiêu cực tới người trẻ, không có kỹ năng, những người thất nghiệp đã lâu và những người ở những vùng năng suất lao động thấp). There is evidence that minimum wages lead firms to replace lower-skilled and less experienced younger workers with older workers (doanh nghiệp thay thế những người trẻ thiếu kinh nghiệm bằng những lao động nhiều tuổi hơn).
The NMW is not a targeted poverty reduction tool. 46 per cent of those individuals in households (hộ gia đình) defined as in poverty are workless: a minimum wage can do nothing to help them. Whilst many of those individuals currently on low pay would benefit from a NMW increase, many of the beneficiaries of a minimum wage are not in poor households. 44 per cent of low-paid workers are in households in the top half of the household income distribution.
The ‘Living Wage’ (lương đủ sống) is a misnomer for the three-fifths of those earning less than the Living Wage who are working part-time. Statutory implementation of a minimum wage at the Living Wage level could have a significant impact on employment and the viability of firms in a range of sectors. It has been estimated to cost 150,000 jobs, with substitution for older workers meaning 300,000 fewer young people employed.

In the absence of a decision to abolish the NMW entirely, we recommend the government:
· commits not to widen the remit of the LPC, which could make it more intrusive for employers whilst fundamentally changing the LPC’s aims
· abolishes the minimum wage for apprentices and under 18s (bỏ áp dụng lương tối thiểu đối với học việc và thanh niên dưới 18 tuổi)
· suspends the minimum wage for all those under the age of 24 who have been unemployed for more than one year, for the first year of employment (tạm dừng áp dụng lương tối thiểu đối với tất cả thanh niên dưới 24 tuổi bị thất nghiệp hơn 1 năm)
· instruct the LPC to regionalise the NMW from October 2015, taking into account regional productivity differentials. The LPC should examine each region on an individual basis, taking into consideration economic conditions and firms’ ability to pay, with the main emphasis placed on private sector employment
