| Tiivistelmä: | While the United States had the largest increase in inequality of earnings, all other countries in this study also experienced increases in inequality. Countries also differed substantially in the ways in which increases in inequality of labour-market income were translated into changes in inequality of family income. The distribution of family income is not solely determined by the distribution of the earnings of heads. Earnings of other family members and other sources of unearned income mitigated changes in the labor market. While inequality of total family income rose more than inequality of earnings in the United States, this was not the case in most other countries in the study. |
