本文研究了英国劳动力市场不平等的变化，特别是工党政府执政期间工资不平等的情况。该分析使用随时间推移的微观数据来记录相对于之前的总体工资不平等以及上尾和下尾工资不平等的情况。使用简单的供求模型，按受教育群体改变工资差异，以考虑相对需求变化的驱动因素，有利于受教育程度较高的人，支持工资不平等的加剧。还讨论了劳动力市场机构不断变化的作用，特别是工会化程度的下降和1999年实行全国最低工资对低端工资不平等演变的重要性。版权所有2013，牛津大学出版社。
This paper studies changes in labour market inequality in the UK, with particular reference to what happened to wage inequality during the years of Labour government. The analysis uses micro-data through time to document what happened to overall wage inequality, as well as upper- and lower-tail wage inequality, relative to what went before. Simple supply and demand models of changing wage differentials by education group are used, so as to consider the drivers of relative demand shifts in favour of the more educated that underpin rising wage inequality. The changing role of labour market institutions is also discussed, and in particular the decline of unionization and the importance of the introduction of the national minimum wage in 1999 for the evolution of lower-tail wage inequality.
