Abstract: This document addresses the proposed law in the United States to increase the minimum wage in that country to 15 dollars per hour in 2025. It analyzes the implications of passing this law and provides several well-founded arguments in its favor. Likewise, it refutes those assertions that have been made by various instances against an increase in the minimum wage. It concludes that passing this law not only brings great benefits to the country’s economy, but is also really necessary to combat income inequality.
