A Re‐examination of the Impact of the UK National Minimum Wage on Employment
Early work on the national minimum wage ( NMW ) suggested that policymakers in the UK had succeeded in raising the pay of low‐paid workers without impairing their employment prospects. This paper shows that when we focus on the most vulnerable workers, part‐time females, the NMW appears to be associated with reductions in employment retention. These negative impacts were evident when the NMW was introduced and also when it was increased faster th…

Child Poverty in Britain
Relative child poverty rose sharply over the period 1979–97/98 and has since fallen by about half a million (4 percentage points). Absolute poverty changed little between 1979 and 1997/98 but has fallen sharply since then. Absolute poverty fell by 1.7 million between 1997/98 and 2001/02, with a half million fall in the last year alone. Changes in work patterns, wages and demographics all contributed to rising relative child poverty between 1979 a…
Minimum Wage, Minimum Impact
The Low Pay Commission (LPC), acting on advice from the Office for National Statistics, initially estimated that some 1.9 million workers (8.5 per cent of employees) would have their pay raised by the introduction of the National Minimum Wage (NMW). In the light of data problems this has been revised downwards a number of times and now stands at 1.2 million workers (5 per cent). This is still likely to be an over-estimate of the number of workers…

Child Poverty in Britain and the United States
Child poverty rose sharply in Britain and the US in the period preceding the Blair and Clinton governments, so that over a third of children were in poverty in both countries. Demographic change, falls in work and increasing wage inequality all contributed to this rise in Britain, with benefit changes having an offsetting effect. In the US, demographic and wages changes were the drivers. Both administrations acted with a range of welfare reforms …
Is welfare to work sustainable
Because a fair society and the strongest possible economy depend upon leaving no one behind, Britain must build on the reforms taking nearly one million children out of poverty and give every child the best possible start in life. So our [fourth] ambition is – by the end of the next decade – child poverty reduced by half – on our way to ending child poverty within twenty years. (Chancellor of the Exchequer, pre-budget report, November 1999)
Caught in a Trap? Wage Mobility in Great Britain
In this paper I study wage mobility in Great Britain using the New Earnings Surveys of 1975–94 and the British Household Panel Surveys of 1991–94. Measuring mobility in terms of decile transition matrices, I find a considerable degree of immobility within the wage distribution from one year to the next. Mobility is higher when measured over longer time periods. Those in lower deciles in the wage distribution are much more likely to exit into unem…
The Evolution of Individual Male Earnings in Great Britain
I study the dynamic structure of male wages in Great Britain using the New Earnings Survey Panel from 1975–95. Computing auto‐covariances of individual wages by cohort I find evidence of a permanent component of earnings that increases over the life cycle and a highly persistent, serially correlated transitory component. In addition, the estimated variances of both these components have risen over this period, each explaining about half the rise …
