This issue briefing addresses the debate over the setting and perceived impact of minimum wage increases and suggests some simple benchmarks.
Research finds that the impact of minimum wage increases on poverty or employment levels are relatively unexceptional.
Minimum wage levels have seen steady increases relative to average wages, but changes are often erratic.
Limiting adult minimum wages to 50 per cent of average incomes brings more certainty for employers.
Creating a graduated wage scale for teenagers could also help ensure that wage levels are set in step with their developing work skills.
