本文探讨了最低工资增长对青少年工人自我报告的健康状况的影响。我们使用差异中的差异估计策略和当前人口调查的数据，并按种族/民族和性别对样本进行分类，以揭示最低工资变化对健康的差异影响。我们发现，随着最低工资的增加，白色女性更有可能报告更好的健康状况，而西班牙裔男性则报告更差的健康状况。
This article examines the effect of minimum wage increases on the self-reported health of teenage workers. We use a difference-in-differences estimation strategy and data from the Current Population Survey, and disaggregate the sample by race/ethnicity and gender to uncover the differential effects of changes in the minimum wage on health. We find that white women are more likely to report better health with a minimum wage increase while Hispanic men report worse health.
