本文分析了1964-2000年肯尼亚工资不平等的演变。我们衡量工资不平等的标准是制造业工资与农业工资的比率，这可以被视为行业工资不平等的一个指标，或者是熟练工人与非熟练工人工资的代表。研究发现，相对工资的变化主要受开放程度的影响，而资本劳动比、受教育程度、相对劳动生产率、农产品价格与制造业价格之比等其他因素的影响并不显著。我们的结论是，国际市场一体化减少了肯尼亚的工资不平等。
This paper analyzes the evolution of wage inequality in Kenya during 1964–2000. Our measure of wage inequality is the ratio of wages in manufacturing to wages in agriculture, which can be seen as an indicator of sectoral wage inequality or as a proxy for skilled to unskilled wages. We find that changes in relative wages have primarily been driven by the degree of openness, while other factors such as the capital–labor ratio, educational attainment, relative labor productivity, and the ratio between agricultural and manufacturing prices had no significant effect. We conclude that international market integration has reduced wage inequality in Kenya.
