The Impact of the Minimum Wage on Male and Female Employment and Earnings in India

Contexto
What changed: state-level real minimum wages across industries, 1983-2008. Comparison: variation in wage floors over time and across states. Limits: enforcement differs by state and the estimate is for cash-paid work, which leaves out much informal self-employment; the urban result is close to zero.
