A lot of the social push for higher minimum wages focuses on the need to provide a living wage or to lift workers out of poverty. This Kahoot quiz covered a variety of looks at how the minimum wage impacts different segments of the economy and whether its a solid enough tool to address poverty concerns. Before the quiz, students are asked two watch two YouTube videos from We The Economy on inequality:
While these two focus on the debate portion of minimum wage legislations, students are asked to review a 1987 New York Times opinion piece that pushes for the abolishment of a minimum wage. Most students tend to think the status quo is the only option beyond an increase, but there is a segment of the population that argues for the abolishment. Finally, students look at a recent attempt by California to boost their entire state’s minimum wage to $15 per hour. This article by FiveThirtyEight argues that a lift in the minimum wage only really impacts different portions of the state and leads students to the idea that different regions may be better off determining their own minimum wage.

Much of the discussion on the economics of migration focuses on the measurable aspects, in the sense of improved efficiency or the externalities associated with the move. Little, unfortunately, looks at the normative and social side of the decision to migrate. The Freakonomics team looked at whether people deserved the right to move at the same level as the right to clean water in their podcast “Migration as a Basic Human Right.” The positive components are still there in the sense that they discuss the human capital theory of migration and the impacts of additional workers on wage. There is a strong historical component in the podcast that focuses on migration around World War II, again during the fall of the USSR, and today’s Syrian refugee crisis. The podcast, in total, is about an hour long.
