This paper surveys major empirical regularities concerning changes in earnings inequality in Europe and the US over the past 25 years.

Finally, it considers the implications of organizational change as a possible rationale for recent inequality developments.Earnings; Education; Globalization; Income Distribution; Inequality; Labour Supply; Minimum Wage; Organizational Change; Skilled and Unskilled Workers; Technological Change; Unionization; Wage Rigidities
