Work-Related Training and the New National Minimum Wage in Britain

Overview This paper uses important new training and wage data from the British Household Panel Survey to estimate the impact of the national minimum wage (introduced in April 1999) on the work-related training of low-wage workers. Two different 'treatment groups' are used for estimating the impact of the new minimum wage - those workers who explicitly stated they were affected by the new minimum and those workers whose derived 1998 wages were below the minimum.
