过去大多数关于最低工资对青年就业影响的研究 工资只集中在男人身上，或者不区分男人和女人， 妇女该项目的目的是填补我们的这一空白， 通过研究6，398人的劳动力市场经验， 全国青年纵向调查中的青年妇女调查 （NLSY）。 衡量就业影响的一个指标是， 毕业后的第一份工作如果那个年轻女人退出 劳动力市场或离开后难以找到工作 在学校里，这种影响可能会持续一生。因此，我们认为， 这第一段失业期具有内在的意义。在 随后的工作，随后的就业历史将进行分析， 决定终止的决定因素， 继续上学。 研究的结果将是感兴趣的一些 原因首先，人们对最低限度的影响知之甚少， 青年妇女就业的工资。第二，没有 使用最低工资的任何工作对就业的影响 最近的美国数据。NLSY还包括更详细的 有关家庭和社区背景的资料 青少年比以前的研究已经能够考虑到 帐户.最后，NLSY对黑人和西班牙裔进行了过度采样， 可以按种族进行详细分析。

Most past research on the youth employment effects of the minimum wage focuses only in men, or makes no distinction between men and women. The aim of this project is to fill this gap in our knowledge by examining the labor market experience of the 6,398 young women survey in the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (NLSY). A measure of employment effects will be the time it takes to get a first job after leaving school. If the young woman drops out of the labor market or has difficulty finding a job after leaving school, the effects are likely to persist in alter life. Hence, this first spell of non-employment is of intrinsic interest. In later work, subsequent employment histories will be analyzed and the as will the determinants of the decision to terminate or continue schooling. The results of the research will be of interest for a umber of reasons. First, little is known about the effects of the minimum wage on the employment of young women. Second, there has not been any work on employment effects of the minimum wage which uses recent American data. The NLSY also includes much more detailed information about the family and community background of the teenagers than previous studies have been able to take into account. Finally, the NLSY over-samples blacks and hispanics so it will be possible to do a detailed analysis by race.
