abstract: 'This article discusses growing inequalities in the context of employment
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and labour market policies and how the latter can contribute to lowering
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
inequalities. It discusses what is meant by income inequality, why it is
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
remains important to focus on income inequality, which measures of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
income inequality are relevant and how we have arrived at growing income
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
inequality. A last section reviews what can be done about growing
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
inequality. The current situation is dominated by globalization, which
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
has influenced the functioning and outcome of various aspects of the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
labour market. Greater attention to labour market institutions and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
greater coherence between economic and labour market policies is
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
therefore necessary to stem growing inequality. Past examples of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
combining growth with equitable income distribution are often examples
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
of restrained capitalism. Either social pacts or government bureaucrats
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and political elites provided the restraint. The current crisis and the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
public concern for improved income equality might engender renewed
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
political will to make employment creation and income distribution
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
important objectives for economic policy-making.'
