Is it possible for low-paid workers to obtain higher-paid jobs
through upward mobility over time within the earnings distribution?
Based on new empirical evidence from a number of European
countries, the book focuses on earnings mobility, an issue that is
of increasing concern to policymakers and governments throughout
the world. The widening earnings dispersion which is developing in
European labour markets has had the inevitable consequence of
worsening the position of the poorer members of society. This book
identifies those individual characteristics which affect upward
mobility either by increasing or decreasing the probability of
individual workers improving their chances of earning higher wages.
The authors, including some of the leading labour economists in
Europe, offer a comprehensive European perspective covering a total
of thirteen countries. They shed new light on the way in which
labour market incentives and institutions affect both the incidence
and duration of low-paid employment. This book will be of interest
to both academics with an interest in labour economics and policy
makers throughout Europe.
