Wage indexation and the evolution of returns to education in Italy, 1979-1992

One of the most troubling developments of the past two decades has been the dramatic rise in inequality among nations and within nations. This book examines the nature of this development in a variety of countries and contexts - China, Russia, Australia, Latin America, Italy - where the rise of inequality has not been studied as intensively as the US or UK. It also presents analysis of some potential causes and consequences of the rise in inequality.
