摘要
最低工资标准是保障我国低收入者生活水平、激发我国城镇低收入家庭消费潜力的重要手段。在实现“共同富裕”目标背景下,从比较分析的视角对最低工资的消费带动作用进行准确检验,具有重要的理论与现实意义。本文运用1992—2009年中国城镇住户调查数据,以家庭人均收入低于当地最低工资标准的最低工资线家庭为研究对象,分别检验了最低工资认定及标准提升对于最低工资线家庭消费水平的实际影响效果。结果发现,最低工资线家庭本身具有抑制自身消费的倾向,其消费水平也显著低于相近条件下的其他家庭,并呈现出显著的结构性特征。本文进一步以2004年《最低工资规定》实施为政策冲击,检验了最低工资标准提升对于最低工资线家庭消费水平的影响,发现了不同条件下的差异性结果:与收入情况相近的家庭相比,最低工资线家庭的消费水平并未得到显著提升;而与包括中高收入家庭在内的全部样本相比,最低工资线家庭的消费水平得到了显著改善。这一结果与最低工资的消费抑制倾向形成了有效呼应,同时为我国消费升级背景下最低工资标准的实际影响效果及相关政策制定提供了思路与借鉴。
As an important policy to protect the living standards of low-income people and stimulate the consumption potential of urban low-income households, it is an important research topic to accurately test the consumption-driven effect of the minimum wage from the perspective of comparative analysis under the background of realizing common prosperity in China.Using the data of Urban Household Survey in China from 1992 to 2009 and taking households whose per capita income is lower than the local minimum wage as the research object, this paper examines the actual effects of minimum wage recognition and promotion on the consumption of low-income households.We find there is a tendency of consumption inhibition in low-income households, and their consumption is also lower than that of other households with similar income level, showing significant structural characteristics.Taking the minimum wage regulation in 2004 as the policy shock, we further test the impact of the minimum wage increase on the consumption of low-income households, and find the results under different conditions.Compared with families with similar income level, the consumption of low-income households has not been significantly increased.Compared with all the samples, including middle and high-income households, the consumption of low-income households has been significantly improved.The results confirm the consumption inhibition tendency of the minimum wage, and provide a reference for China’s minimum wage policy and the improvement of low-income households consumption.
