Økende lønnsulikhet i Norge i perioden 2002–2012?

Wage Inequality Within and Between Occupations

“…Even if Norway has relatively low inequality levels, its national trends are quite similar to those in liberal market economies such as the UK and the US. Our results are comparable to Dale-Olsen and Østbakken (2016) who found a slight increase in the overall wage inequality in Norway in [2002][2003][2004][2005][2006][2007][2008][2009][2010][2011][2012], and a moderate increase in the top end of the wage distribution.…”

“…During 2003 to 2012, Norway was characterized by strong economic expansion and was not as affected by the financial crisis (2008)(2009) as many other European and western countries (Dale-Olsen & Østbakken, 2016). Instead, Norway has had real wage growth and low unemployment levels throughout the period.…”

“…Mastekaasa (2011) documents low but rising inequality in Norway from 1975 to 2004, entirely within the upper range of the wage distribution. This development continues into the next decade, through 2012 (Dale-Olsen & Østbakken, 2016). Dale-Olsen and Østbakken (2016) find that the increasing income difference in the top end of the income distribution is more marked when they analyze the broadest income measure (which also includes income from capital).…”

Gender differences in the union wage premium? A comparative case study

“…In the Nordic countries in general, and Sweden and Denmark in particular, Dølvik et al (2018) note that ‘the setting of actual pay, including local increments and other conditions, is increasingly delegated to company-level negotiations’ (p. 12). Dale-Olsen et al (2018) document the increased prevalence of local bargaining in parts of the private sector previously dominated by sectoral negotiations, and even in the public sector. The Norwegian pattern bargaining system has been under strain because of an expanding public sector and high wage drift among white-collar workers in the private sector.…”

Gjennomtrekk av ansatte over tid: Ulike trender i forskjellige næringer?

“…Dreger, Lopez-Bazo, Ramos og Rayuel (2014) fant for eksempel at lønnsulikhetene økte fra før finanskrisen til etter i mange land, og kun i de landene som ble hardest rammet avtok lønnsulikhetene (Portugal og Hellas), og da mest på bunnen av fordelingen. I Norge har lønnsspredningen økt jevnt fra på 90-tallet og utover 2000-tallet (Barth, Bratsberg, Haegeland & Raaum 2005;Dale-Olsen & Nilsen 2009;Dale-Olsen & Østbakken 2016). En mulig lavkonjunktur, med redusert lønnsspredning, vil dermed kunne ha som kostnad at arbeidstakere beveger seg saktere oppover «jobbstigen» (Moscarini & Postel-Vinay 2009.…”
