Relación entre salario mínimo y desempleo

Puesto que en los últimos días se han abierto un par de hilos con opiniones contrapuestas con respecto a la influencia que tendría elevar/bajar el salario mínimo en el desempleo, he echado un ratillo y he entresacado algunos datos de países europedos para que el personal los analice desde su particular óptica de las cosas.

En el cuadro no se incluyen países que no tienen salario mínimo por razones obvias. Como dato adicional, comentar, pa ir calentando el debate, que los países con un SMI superior a los 1000€, tienen un 8,78% de paro de promedio, mientras que en el resto su promedio es del 12,89%.

En cuanto a la relación entre las variaciones del SMI y el desempleo, no soy capaz de extraer conclusiones no tendenciosas, por lo que me abstengo. Vds. mismos...

También es interesante ponerlo en relación al PIB per CAPITA.
