Wage Structures in Less-Developed Countries

Chapter Paper 5 in Wage Policy Issues in Economic Development, 1969, pp 294-337 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Issues of wage structure — how the various sets of wages in the economy are and should be related to each other — are at the centre of wage policy questions in the less-developed countries. Yet they have not received theoretical attention; theoretical literature on economic development focuses only on the general level of wages. Nor have they received much empirical study either. To my knowledge, there is not a single country study examining in detail the wage structure of a less-developed economy.
