description "Minimum wages continue to stir controversial policy debates. This study contributes to a better understanding of minimum wages by providing a solid empirical assessment of minimum wage policies and their socio-economic consequences for a range of European countries.

An important contribution of the study is to provide a statistical panorama of the population of minimum wage earners. "
