Inequality and Trade Unions

Lecture series : Inequality and… ?

LISER together with many partners in Luxembourg co-organizes the following lecture.

International economic institutions such as the OECD and the IMF are increasingly paying attention to the problem of high and rising inequalities and its causes and consequences. It is however not so obvious whether the policy solutions these institutions are recommending are adequate and comprehensive. In the analysis carried out in this lecture, particular attention will be paid to the role of labour markets institutions such as collective bargaining and other mechanisms of wage formation. In addition, recent developments that focus on the role and the causes of falling labour shares are discussed.

Speaker

Ronald Janssen, Trade Union Advisory Committee at OECD
