In the two decades since the 1970s, wages of skilled workers in the
United States rose while those of unskilled workers fell;
less-educated young men in particular suffered unprecedented losses
in real earnings. These twelve original essays explore whether this
trend is unique to the United States or is part of a general growth
in inequality in advanced countries. Focusing on labor market
institutions and the supply and demand forces that affect wages,
the papers compare patterns of earnings inequality and pay
differentials in the United States, Australia, Korea, Japan,
Western Europe, and the changing economies of Eastern Europe.
Cross-country studies examine issues such as managerial
compensation, gender differences in earnings, and the relationship
of pay to regional unemployment. Drawing from this rich store of
data, the contributors attribute changes in relative wages and
unemployment among countries both to differences in labor market
institutions and training and education systems, and to long-term
shifts in supply and demand for skilled workers. These shifts are
driven in part by skill-biased technological change and the growing
internationalization of advanced industrial economies.
