Abstract

The labour share, the proportion of income that is distributed to workers, has been decreasing in most OECD countries since the mid-1980s, a phenomenon that has attracted much interest among economists and policy makers because of its implications for growth and welfare. In fact, the labour share is considered a measure of how the benefits of growth are distributed between labour and capital, and its decrease indicates that workers in a country are getting a declining share of the wealth produced within that country.
