Wage stagnation and the legacy costs of employment

Author

  • Brian Bell
Abstract
Although UK real wages have been stagnant for over a decade, there has been a notable increase in nonwage compensation. But as Brian Bell reveals, this rise consists largely of special payments to fund deficit gaps in 'defined benefit' pension schemes - and most of these schemes have been closed to new members for years.
