中文摘要

最低工资的变化可能会影响大学入学率和教育获得。利用关于大学入学率和项目完成的机构数据,我们发现,作为对最低工资增加的响应,公立两年制院校学生的入学率显著下降。最大的入学效应出现在那些在社区学院非全日制入学的学生身上。我们发现几乎没有负面效应影响证书或学位获得的证据,这表明最低工资的增加不太可能阻碍学生获得学位。

Abstract

Abstract Changes in the minimum wage may impact college enrollment and educational attainment. Using institutional data on college enrollment and program completion, we find that enrollment falls markedly among students at public two-year institutions in response to increases in the minimum wage. The largest enrollment effects are seen for those students who are enrolled part-time at community colleges. We find little evidence of negative effects on the attainment of certificates or degrees, suggesting that increases in the minimum wage are unlikely to divert students from degree attainment.
