Analysis shows rising income inequality from shrinking industrial employment in 7 OECD countries, highlighting critical economic trends.
The article is devoted to the analysis of factors of market income inequality in 7 developed OECD countries: Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Poland, Sweden, Canada. The main thesis is that the changes in employment structure and, in particular, a decrease in the level of employment in the industrial sector result in growing market income inequality, unless there are any deterrent factors. The decline in industrial employment is caused mainly by trade liberalization and technological progress and is accompanied by other economic processes, discussed in the paper. The key idea of the article is supported by a regression analysis.
