Preventive measures against businesses abusing the labor market.▪Downward spiral of decreasing wage.

Minimum Wage Cons

A competitive advantage for foreign companies.▪ Obstacle in the ability of domestic companies to com-

pete globally. Many domestic workers might lose jobs.▪ Minimum wage = Incentive for businesses to mecha-

nize duties previously held by humans.▪ Minimum wage = Businesses might just outsource

Food for Thought 1. 정규직과 비정규직의 차이 때문에 일어난 기업의 차별은 당연할까요 ?

능력 , 학벌 , 임금 , 혜택 .

2. 자본주의 사회에서 기업의 단기적 이익 추구보다 기업의 노동자에 대한 사회적 책임이 더 중요한가 ?

Food for Thought 3: Many countries around the world have

some sort of minimum wage law. Explain why the minimum wage may hurt work-ers as much as help them. Give some ideas as to how the government could help workers more effectively.
