Abstract

[fre] L'accroissement rapide de la population active américaine est principalement dû à l'élévation du taux d'activité des femmes. Il va de pair avec une forte création d'emplois qu'il suit et suscite tout à la fois. En Europe par contre la population active s'accroît moins rapidement encore que la population d'âge actif tandis que l'emploi diminue. Parallèlement la progression de la masse salariale réelle, comparable en ampleur, obéit à deux logiques très différentes aux Etats-Unis d'une part, en Europe de l'autre — eř tout particulièrement au Royaume-Uni — . Elle est assurée dans le premier cas par la progression du nombre des emplois, ceux-ci étant assortis d'un pouvoir d'achat déclinant ; et dans le second cas par la progression du pouvoir d'achat attaché à des emplois de moins en moins nombreux. [eng] Wages and Underemployment in the USA and in the UK Monique Fouet, Véronique Riches, Richard Wind The rapid growth of the American labour force is due mainly to increase in the female participation rate. It is both a cause and consequence of the surge in employment. In Europe, on the other the labour force grows less rapidly than the population aged over while employment decreases. At the same time the growth of aggregate real wages, though in magnitude, follows opposite patterns in the United States on the hand, and in Europe and particularly in the United Kingdom on other. In the first case, the growing number of jobs more than the decline of individual real wages. In the second, the rise of real wages more than offsets the decline in the number of jobs.
