- Abstract
- The aim of this study is to estimate the impact of the changes in the minimum wage on the distribution of individual income from work, by position in the occupation—registered workers, unregistered workers and self-employed—in the period 1995-2007, data from the Monthly Employment Research (PME) of the IBGE. In order to do that we have used the method known as regression for hundredth and we noticed that changes in minimum wage exert significant impacts on the occupied inserted into ranges of low incomes particularly among registered and unregistered workers. However, these changes have proved very important for freelance workers. These exercises strengthen the studies that argue that the minimum wage has an important lighthouse-like effect for a large contingent of unregistered employees, but we do not see this effect in the case of self-employed workers. Key words: minimum wage; distribution of income; job market. Classificação JEL: J30. Artigo recebido em jun. 2009 e aceito para publicação em dez. 2010.
