Minimum Wages and Teenagers' Enrollment--Employment Outcomes: A Multinominal Logit Model.

Ehrenberg, Ronald G.; Marcus, Alan J.

Journal of Human Resources, v17 n1 p39-58 Win 1982

This paper tests the hypothesis that the effect of minimum wage legislation on teenagers' education decisions is asymmetrical across family income classes, with the legislation inducing children from low-income families to reduce their levels of schooling and children from higher-income families to increase their educational attainment.
