Abstract

Determinants of the inter-industry wage differentials in Pakistan's manufacturing sector are identified in this study. It is argued that only the skill of the production workers cannot explain all the differences in the wages. Results of this study suggest that workers' organization and industrial characteristic such as profitability, capital intensity and product market structure do have a bearing on industrial wage level.
