abstract: 'The growth of income inequality is now recognized to be one of the most
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
important developments in employment relations of our time. While
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
inequality has increased in many parts of the world, it has been most
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
pronounced in the United States. We review the factors that have been
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
suggested to cause the growth in inequality and, given these multiple
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
causes, suggest a set of actions that might begin to reverse this trend.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We give special attention to the changes in the employment relationship
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
related to labor market institutions - including unions and other forms
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
of worker representation, wage regulations and enforcement, and safety
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
net policy - while also accounting for explanations and proposals that
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
focus on technology, skills and education, and globalization.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Additionally, we argue that emerging forms of organizational
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
restructuring are becoming increasingly important to the study of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
inequality and its remedies.'
