Abstract

[fre] Les salaires nominaux avant retenues pour cotisations sociales ont augmenté en 1979 au même rythme qu'en 1978, tant dans la fonction publique que dans le secteur privé; mais l'inflation ayant été plus forte que l'année passée, la progression du pouvoir d'achat est moindre en 1979. Enfin si l'on prend en compte les majorations intervenues en cours d'année dans les cotisations sociales perçues sur les salaires au titre des assurances maladie, vieillesse ou chômage, le pouvoir d'achat des salariés a baissé en 1979; selon des calculs destinés à illustrer l'importance de ces réductions, les pertes de pouvoir d'achat des salariés du secteur privé s'échelonneraient entre — 0,3 % et - 2.6 %. [eng] The Purchasing Power of Wages in 1979 - Nominal salaries before deductions for various social contributions increased in 1979 at the same rate as in 1978 both within the civil service and the private sector. However, as inflation was higher than in the previous year, purchasing power grew less in 1979. Nevertheless, if increases in deductions for health insurance, retirement, or unemployment during the year are taken into consideration, buying power actually decreased in 1979. The calculations made to show the extent of this decrease suggest that the loss in purchasing power of wage earners in the private sector ranges from — 0.3 % to — 2.6 %. [spa] El poder adquisitivo de los salarios en 1979 - Los salarios nominales antes de la deducción de las cuotas de seguridad social se incrementaron en 1979 al mismo ritmo que en 1978 tanto en la Administracion publica como en el sector privado; mas comoquiera que la inflación fué de más consideración que durante el ano anterior, la progresión del poder adquisitivo resulta inferior en 1979. Finalmente, si se toma en cuenta los incrementos intervenidos en el transcurso del ano en las cuotas sociales percibidas sobre salarios a título del seguro de enfermedad, vejez o desempleo, el poder adquisitivo de los asalariados disminuyó en 1979; según cálculos que tienen por objeto el senalar la importancia de dichas mermas, la disminución del poder adquisitivo de los asalariados del sector privado se escalonaría entre un — 0,3 % y un — 2,6 %.
