Abstract: The ramping up of the national minimum wage since 2015 has more than halved the share of low-paid employees in Britain. But it is far from job done: too few low-paying jobs offer dignity, respect and security to the people doing them. Nye Cominetti, Rui Costa, Charlie McCurdy and Gregory Thwaites report on how the minimum wage has transformed pay - and how we can go beyond this to make real progress on providing 'good work'.
