“…For more on the limits of devaluation to promote output growth, see, for example, Panic (1998). 33 Higher minimum wages may be beneficial, even in open export-oriented economies (Rama, 2001;Saget 2001). Rama (2001) found, for example, that a doubling of the nominal minimum wage in Indonesia in the early 1990s resulted in some negative effects on employment.…”

“…K podobnému závěru dochází Saget (2001) pro podmínky málo rozvinutých zemí: zatímco dopad minimální mzdy na zaměstnanost je dle závěrů jeho studie téměř nepodstatný, minimální mzdu považuje za schopnou napomoci eliminování nejtíži-vější chudoby. Rodgers a Rubery (2004) se dokonce domnívají, že minimální mzda může zlepšit pozici diskriminovaných skupin pracovníků snížením málo placené práce a podpořit spravedlnost.…”
