Summary Note "The Melbourne Institute of Applied Economic and Social Research was commissioned by the Australian Fair Pay Commission (AFPC) to provide an overview of the likely coverage of the Federal Minimum Wage (FMW) and the typical characteristics of low waged employees. The study was based primarily on data from Wave 4 for 2004 of the Household, Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia (HILDA) Survey, but it also drew on Australian Bureau of Statistics data on employer recorded hours and earnings of employees. It is estimated that during 2004, 403,000 full-time and 499,000 part-time low waged employees were active in the Australian economy, which is equivalent to almost 13 per cent of all employees aged 21 and over. Of these, we estimate that 346,000, or 4.9 per cent of all employees, earned a wage that lay below the federal minimum." (p. 5).
