Desigualdad salarial y desigualdad social. Los países de la OCDE en el período neoliberal
Abstract
La aplicación generalizada de políticas de orientación neoliberal ha tenido como una de sus consecuencias un intenso crecimiento de la desigualdad social. En este artículo se aborda en concreto el problema del incremento de la desigualdad sala-rial en los países de la OCDE. Se analizan sus causas (recortes en los derechos so-ciales de ciudadanía, fragmentación de las clases trabajadoras y debilitamiento de sus organizaciones colectivas) y se sostiene que ha sido un factor que ha coadyuva-do de modo decisivo a la polarización en la distribución de los ingresos y a la con-centración de la riqueza en el vértice superior de la pirámide social.
Social inequality and wage inequality. OECD countries in the period neoliberal
The widespread application of neoliberal policies has had as one of its consequen-ces a strong growth of social inequality. This article specifically adressed the pro-blem of the increase in wage inequality in OECD countries. It discusses its causes (cuts in social rights of citizenship, fragmentation of working class and weakening of its collective organizations). This strong growth has been a factor that has contri-buted decisively to the polarization in the income distribution and the concentration of the wealth in the top of social pyramid.
