First Published in 1927, A Study on the Minimum Wage contains constructive proposals regarding the essential features of a satisfactory minimum wage system. Based on a comprehensive international study of existing legislation and practice in the 1920s, it brings crucial themes like objects of minimum wage legislation; the living wage; provisions for the worker?s family; relation between the wages of men and women; machinery for fixing minimum wages; methods of enforcement; and the capacity of industry to pay. Rich in archival resources, this book is an essential read for students and researchers of labour history, labour economics, and political economy in general.
