Abstract

Greece went through a structural adjustment programme that reduced the country’s minimum wages. When the economy began to recover, the government worried about the effect that raising the minimum wage again would have on the economy. Vassilis Monastiriotis’ research showed that a carefully raised minimum wage could increase the earnings of low-wage workers and reduce income inequality without hurting employment. His research informed the government’s decision to raise the minimum wage.
