This is the conclusion—at times categorical and at other times tinged—of numerous studies on the distribution of income done in recent years. Several reasons are argued: trade with the South reduces the demand for unskilled labour in industrialised countries; immigration increases the supply of this human resource; the new technology of information and telecommunications is biased towards skilled labour; the desindustrialisation2 of the North expels labour to the tertiary sector, where industries with high wage levels coexist with industries with low wages; the flexibilisation of labour markets, with the consequent weakening of trade unions, reduces the negotiating power of the labour force.}
