| Abstract: | Much attention has been given to the impact of international trade with developing economies on labour markets within the developed world. Some studies suggest that such trade is responsible, at least in part, for the widening earnings gap between the skilled and unskilled workers within developed economies. Given the high relative incidence in Northern Ireland of what are generally considered unskilled industries, and thus most susceptible to low wage competition, this paper seeks to examine the extent to which globalisation has influenced the relative demand for skilled labour within Northern Ireland manufacturing. |
