The probability of receiving benefits at different hours of work

Article Abstract:

Hours of employment play a major role in the reception of company benefits beyond what can be received as either full- or part-time employees. Data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Labor Market Experience of Youth showed that around 50% of those working 35 hours per week will be affected by welfare reform in terms of benefits received. Meanwhile, health care insurance is expected for both men and women who work at an average of 43 and 39 hours a week respectively.

Minimum-wage effects on school and work transitions of teenagers

Article Abstract:

The standard competitive model of low-wage labor markets and the traditional view that minimum wages discouraged teenage employment have been challenged by economists who support minimum wage increase models. The substitution hypothesis showed that minimum wages discouraged lower-wage teenagers as a specific group than teenagers as a general set. Thus, lower-wage market models predict disemployment effects for binding minimum wages.
