Abstract

In recent years, the minimum wage in Poland has been increasing not only nominally but also in real terms. Observing these changes, we identify a research gap regarding the impact of the minimum wage on the intensity of labour market flows. While there is no clear-cut relationship, it is possible that such an impact exists and varies according to the demographic characteristics of the group being analysed. In this article, we examine four so-called risk groups: young people (up to 30 years old), older individuals (50 years and above), women, and people with low levels of education. These groups, being the most vulnerable, are likely to benefit the most from an increase in the minimum wage.
