SKILLS MISMATCH AND WAGE INEQUALITY: EVIDENCE FOR DIFFERENT COUNTRIES IN EUROPE
研究了欧洲多国工人技能与劳动力市场需求错配对工资的影响,发现过度技能者面临工资惩罚,而技能不足者获得工资溢价,且该效应在工资分布和国家间差异显著。
This paper studies the relationship between mismatch between workers’ skills and labour market requirements throughout different European Countries. It reports evidence that in several countries, over-skilled people tend to have a wage penalty and under-skilled people tend to have a premium. Interestingly, despite the typical effects of education, tenure, experience, and gender in wages being very similar, the effects of mismatch between skills and labour market requirements differ considerably across the wage distribution and the European Countries.
