| Summary: | Income inequality has risen during the last decades, thus making its way into the agenda of decision makers. Effects of increased income inequality include negative effects on economic development and slowing down poverty reduction. Nowadays, drivers and effects of income inequality are still under debate and studies consider all types of income sources for analyses. An important income source for individuals represents wage earnings. While some research papers on income inequality concern the household income inequality, other research works regarding labour market study the wage inequality. This paper studies wage inequality of Romania by types of employers (for example state/public, mixed or private) for the 2008-2012 period. The study reveals that change of wage earnings inequality across the period considered can be due to within-group inequality and within-group change in population share. |
