Diferencias de salario: grandes y cada vez mayores; un desafío a las racionalidades ortodoxas
Earnings differentials-wide and ever widening: challenging the orthodox rationals
* Profesora Asociada de Economía y Estudios de Mujeres, Universidad Victoria de Wellington, Nueva Zelanda.
En todos los países de habla inglesa del Norte, y en número considerable de otras naciones, las desigualdades de salario y de ingreso se han elevado marcadamente en los últimos años. En muchos países ello está asociado con los procesos de ajuste estructural, escogidos o impuestos. La regulación de los mercados, la regulación de los mercados, la reducción de los déficit internos y externos y la disminución de los impuestos y del gasto gubernamental están entre los principios generales que subyacen a cada programa político particular. El veredicto acerca de esas directrices depende de la filosofía de cada autor, de los criterios adoptados y del peso atribuido a diversos indicadores económicos y sociales. Los que se preocupan por la exclusión social, la desigualdad creciente y la costumbre de echar la culpa a las victimas tienden a concentrar sus estudios en las áreas de los impuestos, la transferencia y la política social reclamando ayuda para los más adversamente afectados.
In every English speaking country if the North, and a substantial number of the nations, earnings and income inequality have both risen sharply en recent years. This is associated in many countries with the processes of structural adjustment, chosen or imposed. Deregulating markets, reducing internal and external deficits, and reducing taxation and government expanditure are among the overall principles underlYing the detailed policy agendas. The veredict on these directions is dependent on the writer's philosophies, the criteria adopted, and the weightings of various economic and social indicators. Those dismayed about social exclusion, increasing inequality, and victim blaming have tended to concentrate heavily on the tax/transfer/social policy areas, the work/welfare interface, and countering social exclusion in their advocacy of relief to those most adversely affected.
