  2. Wage-led growth: Concept, theories and policies, Conditions of Work and Employment Series No. 41

    05 November 2012

    This paper argues that the polarization of income distribution and the decline in the wage share play an important role in the generation of unbalanced and fragile growth. The authors examine the possibility of an alternative path, a wage-led growth strategy, which is likely to generate a much more stable growth regime for the future.
