“…In recent years, in some countries, regardless of their level of development, low-wage employment increases, while in others reduces (McKnight et al, 2016, p. 3). McKnight et al (2016) find a positive relation between wage inequality and frequency of low-wage countries with greater inequality tendentious have greater participation of employees in low-paid work than in countries with greater equality. The incidence of low-wages in some industries is more frequently than others, for two reasons: 1) low-paid workers do not work in some industries that are open to global competition and 2) a significant proportion of low-paid workers working in the public sector, where the government has more direct control over the level of wages (The Poverty Site, 2010).…”

The subject of research are regional disproportions in the labor market in Serbia. The purpose of this study is: 1) to identify Serbian low-paid industrial sectors, as well as 2) to examine regional differences in wages of workers. To achieve these goals, we were used official data of the Statistical Office of the Republic of Serbia on employment and wage distribution by sector of activity. Based on methodology suggested by Nestić et al. (2018), we were identified 7 low-paid industrial sectors in Serbia. Paired-Sample T Test results indicate significant disproportion in wages of workers according to regions. The results obtained indicate the necessity of giving more space to issues of regional disproportions by economic policy-makers.

This study furnishes proof in support of the hypothesis that Croatian employees are experiencing persistent worsening of the labour standard alongside the rising divergence in their earnings distribution. The research disclosed five mutually reinforcing tendencies investigated through a widely used Theil index and functional income distribution. The empirical analysis demonstrated the deterioration of the labour standard apparent through the continuous decline in the labour share of income concurrent with productivity growth. The net pay inequality reported a radical increase and stabilization on a higher plane with a nominal improvement brought about as a result of the layoffs predominantly affecting the lower tail of the distribution. Consequently, the lesser earning dispersion came at the expense of the overall rise in inequality. The gross inequality indicated an increasing pattern highly and positively correlated with the movement of the highest earners experiencing a triple-digit population surge. The rising between-county pay inequality throughout the period suggested a strong bias toward excessive centralization, evident with the capital city being the exclusive county consistently reporting above-average earning levels. Lastly, the between-sector pay inequality exhibited an overall decline. This isolated case, however, remains a dominant driver of inequality, given that the lowesthighest earning sector range is approximately double that of the between-county range. These findings are detrimental to the Croatian worker’s wellbeing and they pose a challenge to the national policymakers who must counter adverse tendencies in order to circumvent the current exodus of skilled workers, and restore long-term macroeconomic stability.

Academic Aspect of the Leather Industry: An Interpretation from the Perspective of Business Science

In the leather industry, a production process that is the subject of many different disciplines is dominant. Many studies on these branches of science have examined the sector in detail in terms of production. On the other hand, studies dealing with the sector in terms of business administration department and sub-disciplines are not common. In this study, academic publications examining the relationship between the leather industry and the business administration department are the subjects. 98 scientific studies obtained after the search in the Web of Science database were examined in terms of the form of publication, the year of publication, the country where the publication was made and the sub-disciplines of the business department.
