Inequality, Specialization, Technical Change and the Development of Unskilled Local Services
by Didier Blanchet
This paper presents an basic comparison of the effects of international trade and technical change on wage inequalities between skilled and unskilled workers and on the development of a local-service sector displaying three characteristics: the use of unskilled labour only, stagnant productivity, and non-relocatable production protecting these jobs from international competition. The effects observed when technical change is present are ambiguous and complex and merit more in-depth study. Competition from unskilled workers from less developed countries, on the other hand, systematically leads to an increase in the number of local unskilled jobs. Yet this increase does not prevent a widening gap between skilled and unskilled wages. Such a gap can only be eliminated by an increase in the number of skilled workers.
