Using EU-SILC data, we observe that most of the changes in wage inequality between 2005 and 2014 were the result of changes in the distribution of wages within occupations. A longer term approximation using data from the Luxembourg Income Study (LIS) shows similar patterns. We conclude that occupational dynamics did not drive recent trends in wage inequality in Europe.

Además, se analizan los determinantes que influyen en la transición desde la percepción de una prestación contributiva a la percepción de una prestación asistencial, y en el resto de posibles tipos de salidas desde el sistema de protección por desempleo. Para ello, se presenta nueva evidencia basada en la información aportada por la Muestra Continua de Vidas Laborales (MCVL) para el período 2004-2007. Entre los principales resultados cabe destacar en primer lugar que uno de cada cuatro episodios de desempleo protegido implica la vuelta del trabajador a su empresa anterior. En segundo lugar, en torno a un 28 por ciento de los episodios de los beneficiarios de prestaciones contributivas y el 16 por ciento de los de asistenciales implican la recontrata...

Their results suggest that employment subsidies for permanent contracts had no notable effect on aggregate levels of permanent or temporary employment. However, they do appear to have had a small positive effect on transitions from unemployment to employment, and from temporary to permanent employment, particularly since the 1997 labour reform. Better targeted subsidies, the authors conclude, would have incurred fewer deadweight and substitution effects.

It presents a comparison of the information obtained using the procedure we propose (panel data file 2004-2009) and
