Foot in the door as cleaning lady to be hired as secretary? Maybe.
Basically min wage should be defined as basic needs for individual. I don't think that many people will chose to go for lower than that for future personal gain.
Anyway that's what democracy is for :)
- splistud 6y agoIf you're comfortable with democracy, why not also be comfortable with other people making their own employment choices, rather than assuming you know better or that they don't have a choice?
- machiaweliczny 6y agoBecause democracy is about society and not free will (it's about deciding what's better for majority) and yes, I do belive that limiting him that choice(not really him but his employer) is beneficial for society. It similar case to giving free access to alcohol, hard drugs, junk food etc. Someone has to pay this cost of nonoptimal choices. EDIT: example: you don't provide living wage so some/more ppl will chose to steal. This might destroy their family, so social worker is needed, you also need more police, judges, prisons etc. All of them are employed, happily contributing to GDP. Success! Is it better world? I don't think so. It's much cheaper if with offering living wage. (as global optimisation, company owners and individuals do local optimisations)
