• Resumen

  • Este artículo analiza las razones de las diferencias de la importancia relativa del trabajo de bajo salario entre seis países. Se estudia como estas diferencias se deben fundamentalmente a las instituciones que regulan las relaciones laborales. Las instituciones que tienen una mayor influencia son la negociación colectiva, el salario mínimo, las regulaciones de los mercados de productos y el sistema de protección social
