Even though relevant studies from\u00a0several countries claim that the effect of minimum wage hike has no signi\ufb01cant effect on employment,\u00a0they reveal an adverse effect on informal employment. In the context of Turkey, the studies establish that\u00a0relatively same increase of minimum wage recorded in 2004 has an impact on informality, albeit related\u00a0publications are few. It is too early to make a comprehensive research on the effects of the recent rise\u00a0in minimum wage. Nevertheless, this study illustrates a notable indication that minimum wage increase\u00a0is adversely affecting informality based on the large differences observed in the share of minimum wage\u00a0earners in sectors and informality rates in sectors in the period of February 2014-2015 and February\u00a02015-2016.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>pdf.\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/betam.bahcesehir.edu.tr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/ResearchBrief196.pdf\">ResearchBrief196<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ozan Bak\u0131\u015f,\u00a0Seyfettin G\u00fcrsel and\u00a0Melike K\u00f6kk\u0131z\u0131l Various effects of minimum wage increased in January 2016 by 30 percent are still question of debate.\u00a0One of the concerns for the possible effects of this high increase is on wage-employment relation.
