Abstract

Italian wage and salary earners have experienced a critical change in their position in recent decades. This change has two dimensions. On the one hand, since the mid-1970s, Italian employees have obtained a lower share of value added.1 On the other hand, since the late 1980s, wider disparities in workers’ pay structure have meant that a small segment of the salaried workforce has not seen its share decline.2 The proportion of income allotted to the bulk of the working class has thus been reduced not only by the expansion of other incomes, but also by the expansion of the income of employees at the top of the pay scale.
