Abstract

"The development of the western German wage structure in the 1980s has been analysed on the basis of the socio-economic panel (SOEP) and the IAB employment sample (IABS). We demonstrate that the large increase in inequality which was ascertained by previous studies on the basis of the IABS can be put down to a break in the structure in the data in 1984. In the period from 1984 to 1990 the inequality in earned income increased slightly in the IABS and remained constant in the SOEP." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))
