abstract: 'The inequality of labor earnings among working-age individuals has gone
up in all western countries during the past 25 years, either through
rising wage inequality (US, UK) or through rising unemployment
(Continental Europe). Policy regimes did matter a great deal, however,
as far as the inequality of disposable income is concerned. In a country
like France, transfers to the unemployed were sufficiently massive to
prevent income inequality from rising. This paper argues that the way
fiscal redistribution has managed to counteract skill-biased technical
change in countries like France is somewhat paradoxical. The same
distributive stability could have been obtained at a lower cost by
following a job subsidies strategy rather than an income maintenance
strategy, simply because it is always less costly to have people at work
producing something. We explore several potential explanations for this
paradox. (C) 1999 Published by Elsevier Science B.V. All rights
