Abstract

A study examined the subsequent earnings transitions of those who were in the lowest quintile of the earnings distribution in 1976, using a large panel of employees from the New Earnings Survey. The quintile earnings positions in 1984 and 1991 of 3 age groups of 1976 were traced - the young, the prime-aged, and older workers. The experience of men and women were contrasted in terms of the incidence of low pay and its persistence. Among men, the highest incidence of low pay is among young workers. For over 90% of them, low pay is a transitory experience. Low pay is much more a problem for women and the earnings progression that alleviates much of the effects in the case of men applies only to a limited extent. Low pay for both men and women is closely linked to life-cycle patterns.
