Q.2
Keep in mind when the question states the word wethter it means you have to explain the question in both ways like advantages and disadvantages, costs and benefits etc. So, plan the answer like;

1. Define minimum wage and explain it graphically.

2. Explain advantages which include
a ) Increase in income of workers
b) Increase in motivation and productivity
c) Higher output for employers
d) Business expansion
e) Higher standard of living
f) More workers will be willing to work, so supply will rise.
3. Explain diadvantages which are;
a) Lower demand for workers by employers due to high wages
b) Increase in wage burden on employers may force them to unemploy some of workers
c) Higher cost of production will lead to lower production and higjher prices of goods causing cost push inflation
d) Export traders may suffer losses
e| Minimum wage law may replace workers with machinery causing depression among workers.

Hope your issue is solved.

whether economic theory can be used to support this argument. [25]
