The purpose of minimum wages is to protect workers against un-
duly low pay. They help ensure a just and equitable share of the

fruits of progress to all, and a minimum living wage to all who are
employed and in need of such protection. Minimum wages can al-

inequality, including those between men and women, by promo-
ting the right to equal remuneration for work of equal value.
