Inequality and Labor Market Institutions / Florence Jaumotte    

Public ISBD Titre : Inequality and Labor Market Institutions Type de document : document électronique Auteurs : Florence Jaumotte, Auteur ; Carolina Osorio, Auteur Editeur : IMF Année de publication : July 2015 Collection : Staff Discussion Note num. 15/14 Importance : 31 p Langues : Anglais (eng) Tags : Inégalités  Emploi  Travail  Marché du travail  Syndicats Résumé : The SDN examines the role of labor market institutions in the rise of income inequality in advanced economies, alongside other determinants. The evidence strongly indicates that de-unionization is associated with rising top earners’ income shares and less redistribution, while eroding minimum wages are related to increases in overall income inequality. The results, however, also suggest that a lack of representativeness of unions may be associated with higher inequality. These findings do not necessarily constitute a blanket recommendation for higher unionization and minimum wages, as country-specific circumstances and potential trade-offs with other policy objectives need to be considered. Addressing inequality also requires a multipronged approach, which should include taxation reform and curbing excesses associated with financial deregulation.

Public ISBD Titre : Power from the People Type de document : document électronique Auteurs : Florence Jaumotte, Auteur ; Carolina Osorio Buitron, Auteur Editeur : IMF Année de publication : March 2015 Importance : 3 p Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : Inégalités Tags : Travail  Revenus  Syndicalisme  FMI Résumé : A study by the International Monetary Fund tracked three decades of income and found that as unionization declined, the wealth of the richest 10 percent in advanced countries showed a continuous increase. More specifically, the study’s authors found that when researching income levels during the period of 1980-2010, the decline in unionization explained about half of the rise in incomes for the richest 10 percent, and half of the increase in the Gini coefficient (a measure of income inequality). http://rt.com/usa/236383-wealth-increases-unionization-declines/ En ligne : http://www.imf.org/external/pubs/ft/fandd/2015/03/jaumotte.htm Power from the People [document électronique] / Florence Jaumotte, Auteur ; Carolina Osorio Buitron, Auteur . - [S.l.] : IMF, March 2015 . - 3 p.
