| Synopsis: |
The "Low Pay Commission Report 2010 (Cm. 7823)" details the monitoring and evaluation of the impact of the minimum wage and considers its effect on different groups of workers. Additionally the Commission considers the detailed arrangements for an apprentice minimum wage. Data limitations prevent assessment of the 2009 minimum wage upratings but the report finds that the 2008 upratings continue to have a significant influence on wages at the bottom of the earnings distribution. The numbers paid at the adult minimum wage rose to nearly 750,000 (3.2 per cent of all adult jobs) in April 2009. It has been difficult to separate out any potential impact of the minimum wage from that of the recession more generally this year. The low-paying industries experienced a smaller proportional fall in jobs than across the economy as a whole, but small firms suffered more than larger organisations. All workers in low-paying sectors remain vulnerable. The Commission pays particular attention to young people who have experienced greater hardship in the employment market. Commission recommendations for October 2010: adult minimum wage to increase from GBP 5.80 to GBP 5.93; youth development rate to increase from GBP 4.83 to GBP 4.92; 16-17 year old rate to increase from GBP 3.57 to GBP 3.64; and, apprentice rate for all employed apprentices currently exempt from the national minimum wage to be set at GBP 2.50. |
