| Abstract: | Using microdata from 1985 to 1994 for fifteen OECD countries, the authors finds that greater union coverage and membership lead to higher relative pay and lower relative employment for less-skilled men, with similar pay effects but only weak evidence of negative employment effects for less-skilled women. Greater economy-wide union coverage or membership leads to lower employment and higher relative wages for young men and a greater propensity to attend school for both genders. |
