Would a higher minimum wage meaningfully affect poverty levels among women? – A simulation case from Georgia
10 April 2023

In economic literature, the effect of minimum wage on the labour market and its relevance as an anti-poverty, equality-enhancing policy tool, is a matter of vigorous debate.

Our results suggest that while Georgia has substantially reduced poverty and income inequality, continuous monitoring of the situation would be helpful.
