“…Vi vet også at det i hovedsak er menn som har de høyeste lønningene, noe som bidrar til relativt store lønnsfor-skjeller mellom høytlønte menn og høytlønte kvinner, mens lønnsforskjellene er mye lavere mellom lavtlønte kvinner og menn (Nilsen 2007). Videre viser nyere internasjonal forskning at topplønnsmottakerne i Europa i all hovedsak er menn (Denk 2015). For Norge er det beregnet at 90 prosent av de 1 prosent best betalte lønnstakerne er menn.…”

“…The reduction of union density and collective bargaining foster inequality (Vaughan-Whitehead and Vazquez-Alvarez, 2018; Jaumotte and Buitron, 2015; OECD, 2011). Denk (2015) demonstrates that countries where collective bargaining is higher have lower concentration of wages in the top 1%. The growth of precariousness, facilitated by the fallback of unions and labour deregulation, has also impacted on wage distribution.…”

The rise of economic inequality in the past few decades is one of the most relevant phenomena in western countries recent history. Market income distribution pushed inequality up and challenged welfare state capacity to deal with economic gaps. Market inequality or gross income inequality are considerably higher than disposable income inequality. This has to do with redistributive state policies. This paper analyses gross income inequality in the EU countries and measure the impact of personal taxes on income distribution. Several measures of redistributive tax impact on income inequality will be explored. Having in consideration both the level of gross income inequality and the impact of personal taxes on top shares, a typology of income distribution and redistribution in Europe will be drawn.

“…Moreover, both are correlated with a less equal distribution of household disposable income (Denk and Cournède, 2015). The financial sector also tends to offer substantial wage premiums, estimated to be 25% of average earnings and up to 40% for top-paid workers (Denk, 2015a) and is overrepresented among the top 1% of all earners (Denk, 2015b). Those rents are likely to reduce overall measured productivity (if their wages exceed their productivity) and increase inequality.…”
