When the Government announced the NLW in 2015, it set a target of 60 per cent of median earnings by 2020, subject to sustained economic growth. The impact on wages shows how significant an intervention the introduction of NLW has been in the labour market. So far, the evidence suggests the NLW has been successful in raising pay without causing unemployment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Read on: \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.gov.uk\u002Fgovernment\u002Fpublications\u002Fnational-minimum-wage-low-pay-commission-2018-report\">in English …\u003C\u002Fa>   The report: \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fassets.publishing.service.gov.uk\u002Fgovernment\u002Fuploads\u002Fsystem\u002Fuploads\u002Fattachment_data\u002Ffile\u002F759271\u002FNational_Minimum_Wage_-_Low_Pay_Commission_2018_Report.pdf\">in English …\u003C\u002Fa>  \u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp class=\"CM3\">\u003Cspan class=\"discreet\">For more information, please contact the editor Jan Cremers or Sanne van der Gaag, Amsterdam Institute for Advanced Labour Studies (AIAS) \u003Ca href=\"mailto:cbn-aias@uva.nl\">cbn-aias@uva.nl\u003C\u002Fa> or the Head of communications at the ETUI, Willy De Backer \u003Ca href=\"mailto:wdebacker@etui.org\">wdebacker@etui.org\u003C\u002Fa> © ETUI \u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fp>","light",{"text":43,"link":44},"Contact us",{"title":43,"url":45,"description":43,"rel":46,"type":47,"id":48},"\u002Fabout\u002Fcontact","follow","internal",24590,[],[],[],[],[],false,"\u002Fwork\u002Fliving-wages\u002Fcontact-us","\u003Cp>Welcome to WageIndicator.
