Download or read book The Changing Distribution of Earnings in OECD Countries written by A B Atkinson and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2008-05-01 with total page 506 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about how much people earn and why the distribution of earnings has been changing over time. The gap between the top and bottom in the United States has widened significantly since 1980. Why has this happened? Is it due to new technologies? What is the role of globalisation? Are there historical precedents? The book begins with the "race" between technology and education, and shows that continuing technical progress does not necessarily imply a continuing rise in dispersion. It then examines the experience of 20 OECD countries over the twentieth century, material presented in the form of 20 country case studies. The book breaks new ground in assembling data on the distribution of individual earnings covering much of the twentieth century and drawing on a variety of under-exploited sources. The findings overturn a number of widely-held beliefs. It is not the earnings of the low paid that have been most affected by the recent changes; widening is largely due to what is happening at the top. The recent rise in earnings dispersion is not unprecedented, but should be seen as part of a longer-run history of successive compression and expansion of earnings differences.

Download or read book Income Inequality in OECD Countries written by Peter Hoeller and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2014 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a comprehensive review of income inequality issues in the OECD in a cross-country setting. It presents a wealth of data and analysis on the formation of inequality and identifies groups of countries that share similar inequality patterns. It also reviews developments at the extremes of the income distribution, namely poverty, top incomes as well as the distribution of wealth. An important contribution of the book is the careful examination of the determinants of the income distribution, such as globalisation and technical progress as well as the effect of a wide range of economic policies that shape the distribution of income. These include in particular labour market regulations, household taxes and transfers as well as in-kind public services. It also sheds light on an under-researched issue: do policies aimed at boosting economic growth raise or reduce income inequality

Download or read book Income Distribution and Poverty in Selected OECD Countries written by Jean-Marc Burniaux and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examines developments in the distribution of disposable income and poverty for 13 OECD countries over the past one to two decades. It finds that income inequality and poverty have increased in about half of the countries. However, the widening in the distribution of market income has been more pronounced and more widespread across countries, reflecting both earnings, capital and self-employment incomes. While widening wage rates have played a role in explaining earnings developments, the increasing share of households with no workers has also been important. The tax and transfer system has contained or, at least, partly offset the widening in the distribution of market income. Transfer payments have been particularly important at the bottom of the income distribution as they increasingly replaced lost earnings. Households of retirement age appear to have benefited, on average, the most net taxes and transfers.
