Abstract

Magyarországon a gazdasági átalakulás kezdete óta jelentős mértékben megnőtt a szakképzett és a szakképzetlen munkaerő béreinek különbsége. A fejlett országok esetében a szakképzettségi prémium emelkedését a hatvanas évek végétől kezdő dően számos tanulmány dokumentálja (Griliches [1969]). A szakképzett és szakkép zetlen munkaerő bérének növekvő különbségét a nemzetközi irodalom főként a tech nológiai változással és a kereskedelem növekvő szerepével magyarázza. Jelen ta nulmány célja az, hogy e két tényező hatásait számszerűsítse a szakképzettségi pré mium alakulásában Magyarországon az elmúlt két évtized során. Journal of Economic Literature (JEL) kód: F16, J31.
