The
2014/15 edition examines the link between wages and inequality at the household
level. It shows that wages constitute the largest single source of income for
households with at least one member of working age in most countries and points
to changes in wages and paid employment as key factors underlying recent trends
in inequality. The report also considers wage gaps between certain groups, such
as those between women and men, migrants and nationals, and workers in the
informal and formal economy.
Inequality can be addressed through policies that affect wage distribution
directly or indirectly, as well as through fiscal redistribution. However,
increasing inequality in the labour market places a heavier burden on efforts
to reduce inequality through taxes and transfers. The report thus emphasizes
the need for combined policy action that includes minimum wages, strengthened
collective bargaining, interventions to eliminate wage gaps, the promotion of
paid employment and redistribution through taxes and transfers.
