This Thesis aims at analysing the effects of technological changes and international trade on wage and employment inequalities between skilled and unskilled workers in developed countries. To highlight this state of affairs I have drawn on the statistics and analyses of a cross section of economists and analysts specifically related to three global markets—The OECD countries, the United States, and China. What is evolving at present, is that advanced countries are moving towards a scenario in which there is a significant gap in terms of wages and the rate of employment between skilled and unskilled workers. This scenario, if not properly managed, could lead to serious social problems.
Questa tesi mira ad analizzare gli effetti dei cambiamenti tecnologici e degli scambi commerciali internazionali sulle disuguaglianze salariali e occupazionali tra lavoratori qualificati e non qualificati nelle maggiori economie avanzate. Per la scrittura di questo documento ho basato la mia ricerca su statistiche e analisi condotte da economisti e analisti, i quali hanno studiato gli effetti di questi fattori in tre principali mercati globali: i paesi OCSE, gli Stati Uniti e la Cina. Lo scenario che sta evolvendo attualmente vede i paesi avanzati muoversi verso un divario sempre più significativo in termini di salari e tasso di occupazione tra lavoratori qualificati e non qualificati. Questo scenario, se non adeguatamente gestito, potrebbe portare a gravi problemi sociali.

Abstract
This Thesis aims at analysing the effects of technological changes and international trade on wage and employment inequalities between skilled and unskilled workers in developed countries. To highlight this state of affairs I have drawn on the statistics and analyses of a cross section of economists and analysts specifically related to three global markets—The OECD countries, the United States, and China. What is evolving at present, is that advanced countries are moving towards a scenario in which there is a significant gap in terms of wages and the rate of employment between skilled and unskilled workers. This scenario, if not properly managed, could lead to serious social problems.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
