AbstractIn this paper I analyze changes in the wage distribution in the Netherlands. I use a matched employer-employee dataset that covers the population of employees. Wage inequality increases over the period of 2001–2016. Changes in between-firm wage components are responsible for nearly the entire increase. Increases in the variance of workers’ skills and increases in worker sorting and worker segregation explain the majority of the rise in the variance of wages. These changes are accompanied by a pattern where variation in educational degree and firm average wages become more correlated over time. Finally, it is suggested that labor market institutions in the Netherlands play an important role in mediating overall wage inequality.

Il saggio presenta uno studio di caso sull'efficacia occupazionale dei tirocini di formazione e orientamento prendendo in esame i Search and matching models quale principale riferimento per lo studio della disoccupazione e delle dinamiche che favoriscono l'inserimento lavorativo. Secondo tale approccio l'impiego di strumenti e di misure di politica attiva del lavoro come i tirocini, che favoriscono l'incontro tra domanda e offerta di lavoro abbattendo i costi di ricerca di un impiego, avrebbe come effetto una crescita occupazionale. Partendo da una posizione critica nei confronti di tale approccio lo studio coglie alcune caratteristiche tipiche nell'utilizzo dei tirocini, ne esalta le potenzialità formative ma mette in dubbio le potenzialità occupazionali.

The Impact

This paper documents recent labor market performance in the Latin American region. The paper shows that unemployment, informality, and inequality have been falling over the past two decades, though still remain high. By contrast, productivity has remained stubbornly low. The paper, then, turns to the potential impacts of various labor market institutions, including employment protection legislation (EPL), minimum wages (MW), payroll taxes, unemployment insurance (UI) and collective bargaining, as well as the impacts of demographic changes on labor market performance. The paper relies on evidence from carefully conducted studies based on micro-data for countries in the region and for other countries with similar income levels to draw conclusions on the impact of labor market institutions and demographic factors on unemployment, informality, inequality and productivity. The decreases in unemployment and informality can be partly explained by the reduced strictness of EPL and payroll taxes, but also by the increased shares of more educated and older workers. By contrast, the fall in inequality starting in 2002 can be explained by a combination of binding MW throughout most of the region and, to a lesser extent, by the introduction of UI systems in some countries and the role of unions in countries with moderate unionization rates. Falling inequality can also be explained by the fall in the returns to skill associated with increased share of more educated and older workers.
