Abstract
[eng] The comparison of wage structures in East and West is founded on the similarity of wage functions and of salaried class extension in both systems. Six Western and four Eastern countries are investigated. The estimation of earnings dispersion in the whole economy does not disclose any « systemic difference ». In addition the factors of wages inequalities are often the same : education level of wage earners, discrimination against women, production structure. The analysis of the « isomorphisms » of the wage structures relies on the patterns of work organization and the wage policy of the firms. Organizations and efficiency wage theories applied to both systems are the basis of this explanation. [fre] La comparaison des structures salariales à l'Est et à l'Ouest est tout d'abord justifiée sur le plan méthodologique : elle se fonde sur la similitude des fonctions et de l'extension du salariat dans les deux systèmes. Six pays de l'Ouest et quatre de l'Est font ensuite l'objet d'une étude statistique détaillée. L'estimation de la dispersion des rémunérations de l'ensemble des salariés ne fait pas apparaître de différence systémique. De plus, les déterminants des inégalités de salaires sont souvent les mêmes : le niveau de formation des salariés, la discrimination à l'égard des femmes, la structure de l'appareil de production. L'explication des « isomorphismes salariaux » repose sur les modalités de la gestion de la main- d'œuvre et des rémunérations par les entreprises des deux systèmes. Elle fait appel aux théories des organisations et du salaire d'efficience.
