| Abstract: | The decline in the unskilled share of French employment is chiefly due to the slackness of domestic demand for those industries with the highest proportion of unskilled workers. The spread of computers has not been particularly conducive to substitution between skilled and unskilled labour. The authors test and accept the hypothesis of technical progress neutrality within French industries. The mechanisms that generate inequality do not appear to be the same in France and in the United States. |
