In Table 5, we present the descriptive DID estimates of the minimum wage effect on
employment and working hours. Adecrease in female employment in the experiment group
and an increase of female employment in the control group lead to an estimated 16 percent
(14 percent for central area) decrease in female employment. Applying the same logic leads
to an estimated 12 percent (16 percent for central area) increase in male employment. Female
weekly working hours in both experiment and control groups decreases after a minimum
wage increase, but the decrease in the control group is a little larger, and results in an
estimated increase of 0.11 (0.78 for central area) working hours for women. For men, a
decrease in weekly working hours in the control group and an increase in the experiment
group leads to an approximate 5.67-hour (7.13 for central areas) increase in working
hours
