摘　　要：最低工资制度从诞生时起就备受争议。主流经济学家反对的主要理由是,最低工资是对劳动力市场的价格管制,会导致失业率上升,经济效率下降。尽管这一结论并未完全得到实证检验的支持,但是作为一个正在崛起的发展中大国,效率和就业自然是我们首要关注的。理论和现实说明,我国目前并不具备最低工资的实施环境,那么政府为什么还要推行最低工资制度呢?本文提供了一个政治经济学的解读框架。The minimum wage system has been experiencing intense disputation ever since it was born. The main reason why those mainstream economists oppose this system is that the minimum wage means the price regulation to labor market which will lead to higher unemployment and lower economic efficiency. This conclusion above hash＇ t gained entire support of empirical testing, however, what we care first of all must be efficiency and employment rate in such a great rising developing country. Both theory and reality show that the environment to enforce minimum wage in China is immature so far, however why does the government still push the minimum wage system？ The paper offers an interpreting frame based on political economics.
