Duas referências de António Costa Amaral:

Thus even if, however unlikely, the imposition of a minimum wage began in conditions in which it did not directly and immediately create any unemployment whatever, because of the shifting of funds from elsewhere to pay it, it would end up creating unemployment among the least skilled members of the economic system.

 

However, raising the lowest wage officially allowable (assuming all the evasion mechanisms can be controlled) does not mean they will be able to find the jobs they desire at those wages. That would be a miracle, because higher wages will lead employers to offer fewer jobs than before, not the larger number workers want at above-market wages.
